During the pilot program, participants will enroll at the merchant’s point of sale by tapping their Visa card, scanning their palm and completing a one-time authentication, according to the release. By completing that one-time enrollment, a Visa payment token will be bound to the biometric template of their palm. In the future, they will be able to make payments to participating merchants by just waving their palm.
“Our aim is to enhance the payment experience and ensure that our customers can enjoy seamless transactions with the highest level of security,” Adeline Kim, Visa country manager for Singapore and Brunei, said in the release.
