Rostelecom and Russian Standard Bank presented a service for paying for purchases in stores, which involves the use of biometric technologies to recognize customers.
We are talking about identifying users by face. Reference images for personal recognition will be downloaded from the Unified Biometric System.
In other words, individuals will be able to make biometric payments after registering a digital image. To do this, a potential buyer needs to submit biometric data at any bank where equipment is installed that transmits information to the Unified Biometric System.
In addition, to make payments you will need to link your bank card to your digital image. In the area of cash terminals in retail outlets, special cameras must be installed to obtain an image of the buyer’s face.
The first payment using biometric data was made within the framework of the Finopolis Forum of Innovative Financial Technologies: a cup of coffee was purchased using the Fast Payment System. To confirm payment on the prepaid Mir card of Russian Standard Bank, an image of the client’s face was used, obtained from the Unified Biometric System.
