Biometric Authentication

Biometric authentication is a security technology that verifies a user’s identity through unique biological traits like fingerprints, facial recognition, or voice patterns. In payment processing, it enhances security, prevents fraud, and offers a seamless way for customers to authorize transactions without relying on passwords or PINs.

How Biometric Authentication Works

When a customer makes a payment, biometric authentication scans and matches their unique characteristics against stored data to confirm identity. This process reduces the risk of unauthorized transactions and speeds up the checkout experience. Many payment platforms and financial institutions now integrate biometric authentication for added security.
