Payment technology by intravenous scanner

In the future, you will be able to shop and pay just by a very simple operation of finger scanning veins. This is a breakthrough new technology developed by a startup project called Sthaler in the UK.

According to the India Times, the technology is called FingoPay and uses a biometric reader to scan and identify the finger veins of shoppers.

The FingoPay model is connected to a user's credit card or bank account, allowing them to make payments simply by placing their finger on a compact size scanner without using a finger. to cash or credit card.

"The FingoPay company will test this technology at a London nightclub in the near future," Telegraph reported . FingoPay technology will be used to minimize waiting times at the bar by cutting down on the necessary procedures when using credit cards. As a result, the bar has more time to consult drinks and better serve customers.

Fraudulent use of FingoPay is unlikely.

Nick Dryden, founder of the Sthaler startup project, said McDonald's is also working on a trial version of the technology.

According to Sthaler, the probability of two different people having the same finger vein structure is 3.4 billion. This makes fraudulent use of FingoPay virtually impossible.
