My friends Russia moving ahead fast in becoming super modern and super technological country.
Paying with smile or paying with biometrics soon is most common way of doing business. Russia again number 1, the best in the world! No smile no payment
From article:
"Biometric technology in Russia is number one in the world": Sberbank reported that fraudsters have never managed to deceive the system
🗣 Deputy Chairman of the Board of Sberbank Stanislav Kuznetsov stated during the
Eastern Economic Forum that during the time the bank has used biometrics on its terminals, it has not recorded a single case of fraudsters gaining access to the system.
🗣 He also noted that all statements that biometrics could become a surveillance tool are “unprofessional.”
Russia launches face payment technology
Sberbank has already installed about 750 thousand terminals with biometrics in Russia
🗣 Sberbank has already installed around 750 thousand payment terminals across Russia that allow transactions to be carried out using biometrics, and by the end of the year it will increase their number to a million, Deputy Chairman of the Board of Sberbank Stanislav Kuznetsov told journalists on the sidelines of the EEF.
🗣 We will install at least a million of these terminals by the end of the year. This is primarily a retail network.
🗣 The operation takes literally 2-3 seconds, and payment is made with a smile.
🗣 The system has begun to be tested in the Kazan metro. To use it, you will need to take a photo in the State Services Biometrics app.
🗣 In the Moscow metro, face payment has been in operation for 4 years, but this technology operates on a local and isolated infrastructure. The new system can be scaled to stores, restaurants and transport throughout Russia.
🗣 The government promises to launch biometric payments in Nizhny Novgorod, Yekaterinburg and Samara by the end of the year, and in St. Petersburg and Novosibirsk in 2025.
🗣 The technology will help those who forgot their card at home. They also promise that paying with your face will be faster and simply more convenient
Biometric travel has begun to be tested in ground transport
🗣 The Center for Biometric Technologies (CBT) is testing a technology for paying for travel on ground transportation using biometrics, Vladislav Povolotsky, CEO of the Center for Biometric Technologies (CBT), told Izvestia. According to him, the priority is to launch the service on intercity routes.
🗣 “First of all, we are considering not intracity, but intercity ground transport.
🗣 We are currently testing it . We believe that our technologies are especially relevant for long-distance travel,” Povolotsky said.
