01 — Why biometric POS
Turn identity into a payment credential.
Traditional POS terminals identify a card or wallet. A biometric POS can also verify the customer behind the transaction—bringing identity and payment authorization into one intentional palm gesture.
▤
Multi-rail acceptance
Combine palm payment with familiar EMV, NFC and QR options in the same merchant device.
✓
Identity-aware risk
Send a biometric match result to the payment platform before it applies limits, risk rules and authorization.
POS comparison
More than a payment reader.
A biometric POS adds reusable customer identity to the acceptance layer while preserving established card and QR payment methods.

02 — How palm payment works
From palm to approved payment in three steps.
The terminal verifies identity. Your licensed payment platform remains responsible for the financial transaction.
Enroll and link
Register the customer’s palm identity and securely associate it with a wallet or payment token.
Present the palm
The terminal captures RGB + IR signals, checks liveness and returns a biometric match result.
Authorize payment
The payment platform retrieves the linked token, applies risk controls and submits the transaction.
Identity becomes the checkout gesture.
Recognize an enrolled customer, retrieve the linked payment token and continue through the platform’s authorization flow.
Keep familiar payment methods available.
Use the same device for palm authentication, EMV cards, contactless NFC and QR payment journeys.
A biometric match does not move money by itself. Account linking, authorization, clearing and settlement remain under the bank or licensed payment provider.
