How it works

Three steps. The wallet never comes out.

Shoppers enroll once. After that, paying is a glance.

  1. 01

    Enroll once

    About a minute in the app: link a payment method, take one selfie. Done.

  2. 02

    Look at the camera

    At the lane or self-checkout, the camera matches their face, with liveness detection running underneath.

  3. 03

    Walk out paid

    The charge lands on the linked card or store account. No plastic, no phone, no PIN pad.

Security and privacy

Built around the one credential nobody can lend out

A face can't be borrowed, copied onto a magstripe or texted to a stranger. And we protect the biometric itself just as seriously.

  • Liveness on every transactionPhotos, screens and masks are rejected before any match.
  • Encrypted biometric templatesA mathematical template, not a photo album. Encrypted at rest and in transit.
  • Consent-first enrollmentShoppers opt in, see what's collected and can request deletion anytime.
  • Built for biometric privacy regulationWritten consent, retention limits and deletion workflows are part of the product, not a policy page.
