Fingopay Successfully Uses Vein Biometrics For Bank-To-Bank PaymentBiometric VeinID platform Fingopay launched an Open Banking retail pilot with payments firm Reflow. It allowed the companies to create a bank-to-bank, face-to-face VeinID payment.
- This tech enables Retailers and merchants to handle bank-to-bank transactions, which will reduce costs and allow settlements within three hours, rather than the usual three-to-five-day delay in payment.
- It will allow users to pay for items using only their fingers. Infrared light will scan unique finger vein patterns, and verify payment in 2 seconds
- The technology is different from one using fingerprints, as finger veins leave no trace, so they cannot be copied and can avoid fraud and identity theft.
