[h=2]Are biometric payments the future of in-store purchases?[/h]Proving your identity with a wave of your hand, so to speak, is not new. A little over 18 months ago, the technology was introduced to Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado, allowing concertgoers access by scanning their palms instead of a ticket. Before that, Amazon introduced it as a form of contactless pay. Panera is the first national restaurant chain to announce they will adopt this technology. However, not everyone is a fan. Here’s what you need to know.
In this article: Lockly Secure Plus Keyless Entry Door Lock, Verifi Smart Safe S5000 Biometric Gun Safe and Verifi P2000 Commercial-Grade Fingerprint Reader.
[h=2]What are biometric payments?[/h]Biometric payments use a unique physical characteristic, such as a fingerprint, to authenticate an in-person purchase.

Amazon One is an identity service. It uses a palm scan to verify you are you. You can pre-enroll online, but you’ll eventually need to finish the process in person. This involves swiping your credit card, entering your phone number and scanning your palm. After that, your palm will be connected to your bank account.
