What is Amazon Pay with Your Palm? And How BioWavePass Helps You Build It

August 11, 2025
8 min read

Palm-based payments are no longer a vision of the future—they’re live, fast, and secure.
Amazon One introduced a seamless palm payment experience, letting users simply hover their hand to complete transactions. At the heart of this experience is palm vein recognition, which verifies both internal vein structure and external palm print.

With BioWavePass palm vein readers, this powerful biometric solution is now open to innovators in fintech, retail, and transportation—without being Amazon.


🛒 What Exactly Is “Pay with Your Palm”?

Palm payments work by registering your hand’s unique biometric identity, combining:

  • ✅ Subdermal vein layout (captured with IR light)
  • ✅ Visible palm print (captured with RGB imaging)

Once enrolled, users can hover their hand above a scanner to complete a payment—no phone, no wallet, no card.

This system is already active in cashierless retail, airports, and transport networks globally.


🔍 How It Works: The Tech Behind Palm Authentication

  1. Enrollment Phase
    The system uses dual cameras to scan RGB (palm print) + IR (veins).

  2. Biometric Template Creation
    These features are converted into encrypted identity templates—never storing raw images.

  3. Real-Time Authentication
    On the next scan, the system compares your palm data to existing templates to approve payment or access instantly.


💼 Why This Matters for Fintech, Retail, and Smart Mobility

You don’t need to build everything from scratch—or work with big tech—to deploy palm biometrics.

With BioWavePass hardware, such as:

  • WavePass500 — Android-based palm scanner with NFC
  • PalmVein 01 — USB palm vein reader compatible with Windows/Linux/Android

…your team can instantly:

  • 💳 Launch your own Palm Pay solution
  • 🧼 Deliver hygienic, contactless KYC for onboarding
  • 🔐 Use private cloud or local server matching
  • 🏷️ Build white-label biometric wallets or self-checkout solutions

🔐 What Makes BioWavePass Different?

Many systems rely only on IR sensors, which capture veins.
BioWavePass combines both IR + RGB, enabling:

  • 🎯 Dual-mode recognition = 1 in 100 billion false accept rate
  • 📷 RGB also supports QR code capture for hybrid workflows
  • 💡 RGB + IR fusion increases spoof resistance and liveness detection

✅ Additional features:

  • SDK & API support for fast integration
  • Supports multi-OS: Windows, Linux, Android
  • Optional geo-lock & MDM integration
  • OEM/ODM customization available for scale-up deployments
