Biometric technology is revolutionizing the financial and retail sectors. Established players and innovative disruptors are embracing biometric payments — which verify and process payments using a customer’s physical features (e.g., face or palm) — to provide transactions that are more secure, efficient, and personalized.

Convenience stores like Energy Mart and Yahoo Japan are also exploring the potential of biometric payments through Amazon One and facial recognition technologies. Meanwhile, JP Morgan is experimenting with biometric payments in collaboration with select retailers.
