Riyadh, Saudi Arabia — BioWavePass has officially announced a strategic partnership with Link Palm, X-Telcom, and Gekonova to localize the manufacturing and deployment of Palm Pay and palm vein biometric devices in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This marks a major leap forward in the regional adoption of Palm Vein Technology for secure payments and digital identity authentication.

📌 A powerful few days in Saudi Arabia have opened a new chapter for palm-based payment and identity verification in the region.

This collaboration supports the Kingdom’s Vision 2030, aiming to develop, produce, and manage advanced biometric solutions locally — serving Saudi Arabia first and expanding globally.


Strategic Agreement Signed for Localized Manufacturing

Under the agreement, Link Palm will hold exclusive rights to manufacture, operate, and deploy palm-based biometric devices across both the public and private sectors in Saudi Arabia.

BioWavePass brings its proprietary biometric technology platform, while X-Telcom and Gekonova will support the local manufacturing pipeline, including production, supply chain, and workforce enablement — laying the foundation for a homegrown biometric ecosystem.

🗨️ “Pushing with the palm of your hand is no longer a futuristic idea, but a reality we are creating today — with national hands from inside the Kingdom.”
— Abdullah Al-Othman, Founder and CEO, Link


Scaling Palm Pay Across the Kingdom

Starting in 2026, the project aims to manufacture and deploy up to 1 million palm vein devices, with an expected economic impact exceeding SAR 600 million in the first two years.

Palm Pay technology will allow users to:

  • ✅ Pay securely without cards or devices
  • ✅ Verify identity without documents or passwords
  • ✅ Access services across retail, banking, government, healthcare, and transit

The rollout will begin in key urban centers like Riyadh, Jeddah, and NEOM.


A Technology Ecosystem Built in Saudi Arabia

This initiative is more than a product launch — it is a full-scale investment in the digital identity and biometric payment infrastructure of Saudi Arabia.

It combines:

  • 🔧 Local hardware manufacturing
  • 💾 Secure biometric software integration
  • 📊 Regulatory compliance and data privacy
  • 🧑‍🏭 Job creation and industrial capability development

BioWavePass and its partners are creating a scalable, export-ready biometric solution that starts in the Kingdom — and is designed to scale globally.


A Shared Vision for Inclusive Digital Identity

🫸 Starting means we are ready to face and overcome more challenges together.
💜 Link Palm aims to support more people in solving issues related to digital identity verification and payment.
Your Palm, Your ID, Your Wallet.


Looking Ahead

BioWavePass is proud to be part of this transformational project. By integrating Palm Vein Technology and Palm Pay into everyday services — and doing so with local partnerships — we are building a future where secure, touchless identity and payments are accessible, scalable, and sovereign.

💡 This is not just technology deployment — it’s local solution-building for global digital challenges.
