This year at NRF, Authsignal showcased its IDX palm payments and identity solution in partnership with Qualcomm, Telpo and Redrock Biometrics. Authsignal’s solution enables seamless biometric authentication and authorization via palm (with compatibility for face and mobile QR Codes).

This technology transforms the retail payments landscape by enhancing convenience, security, and ease of use. With palm biometrics, physical cards and passwords fade into the background, enabling users to authenticate their identity and authorize transactions swiftly and securely.

Pay, Verify, and Access: All in the Palm of Your Hand

Authsignal’s palm biometric solution enables the enrolment and binding of a user’s unique palm vein and print to their identity and payment credentials. The technology streamlines the payment experience and eliminates the need for physical cards or passwords, ensuring a seamless and secure experience.

A customer presents their palm over the IDX terminal (Pay with Palm) to authorize payments, verify their identity, or access venues. Powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Spaces XR platform and edge AI, the system ensures real-time processing while maintaining robust privacy and encryption standards.

Palm biometrics stands out as the leading biometrics modality, bringing a practical, highly accurate, and privacy-preserving experience. Unlike facial recognition, which can be affected by lighting or obstructed by accessories, or fingerprint scanning, which requires direct contact, palm biometrics offer an unrivalled and world-class user experience.
