TechBiometric firm pushes ‘pay with a glance’ technology into Australian retail

Verifone, the company behind 300,000 Eftpos terminals across Australia, is promoting a new way to pay at the checkout. Customers who opt in could use a facial scan or palm-vein biometrics after looking at a screen. The company presents the system as a faster way to buy items such as coffee. However, adoption across the retail sector is expected to proceed slowly.
