🌐 Introduction

As contactless payments evolve, one of the most common questions users ask is:

“Do I need an Android or iPhone to use Palm Pay?”

The answer is simple — no.

With BioWavePass Palm Pay, your biometric identity (your palm) is securely linked to your wallet account in the backend system — not through your phone or operating system.
That means payments work anywhere, anytime, even if you leave your phone at home.


💡 The Core Idea

Palm Pay and your e-Wallet are completely independent from Android or iOS.
Once your palm is registered, it becomes a universal payment credential.
Whether you switch phones, change operating systems, or don’t carry a device at all, the system still recognizes your identity through the palm scanner.


🔒 Why Palm Pay Doesn’t Depend on a Mobile OS

1️⃣ Registration Happens on Certified Devices

Palm registration never occurs on your phone — it’s completed on certified BioWavePass hardware terminals such as POS systems, kiosks, or access gates.

  • The scanner captures both RGB + IR palm images to detect real vein patterns.
  • The data is encrypted instantly and sent to your wallet’s backend server.
  • No information is stored on the mobile device.

2️⃣ Payment Works Without a Phone

Once your palm is registered:

  1. You simply place your hand on any supported palm scanner.
  2. The terminal verifies your palm through the backend system.
  3. Your wallet processes the payment automatically.

No phone, app, or mobile signal required — just your hand.

3️⃣ Account Binding Is Done in the Cloud

The Palm ID is securely connected to your e-Wallet account in the backend system, not through the mobile OS.
This design ensures your payment identity remains valid even if you:

  • Switch phones
  • Change operating systems
  • Lose your device

4️⃣ Wallet Apps Still Manage Your Account

Your e-Wallet app (on either Android or iOS) is used only for:

  • Viewing transaction history
  • Managing linked cards
  • Setting spending limits

All payment authentication still happens through the BioWavePass scanner and backend, not the phone itself.


👋 A Simple Example

Think of Palm Pay as face or fingerprint payment, but even more convenient.
Your palm data lives in the cloud — not on your phone.

When you register once at a BioWavePass-supported terminal, your palm becomes your secure wallet key.
So whether you use Android, iOS, or don’t have a phone at all — the system can still identify you instantly and process your payment in seconds.


🧩 What This Means for Customers and Partners

Truly Device-Independent Payments

  • Works the same across Android, iOS, or even without a mobile phone.

Hardware + Cloud Integration

  • The palm scanner and backend manage authentication, not the OS.

Seamless Experience for All Users

  • Registration is unified; payments are instant and contactless.

Perfect for Public and Private Applications

  • Retail, transit, healthcare, and access control systems all benefit from consistent, secure verification.

✅ Conclusion

Your phone connects you to the internet. Your palm connects you to your wallet.

BioWavePass Palm Pay ensures that payments are universal, OS-independent, and secure, giving users total flexibility and freedom.
Whether you’re using Android, iOS, or no device at all, your identity remains verified — directly through your palm.
