Even the credit card is about to become obsolete. In the world of digital payments, increasingly innovative solutions are making their way, some of which evoke scenes from science fiction films. As Il Corriere della Sera explains today, Visa has recently presented a project that allows you to pay for the products of the Australian brand Local Supply simply by approaching the stem of your sunglasses to a reader pos.
Not only. The American startup Keyo is even developing an artificial intelligence that allows transactions to be concluded through biometric recognition. Translation: just approach to pay hand to the reader, which will read our fingerprints and charge the associated credit card.
The "selfie pay” is instead an idea of Matercard, which uses a digital photograph to identify the subject and release the required payments. It is a system that will debut this year in Europe, including Italy.
But in our country the most awaited event is another: the landing of Apple Pay, which digitizes the credit card on the smartphone, expected by the end of the year. It is likely that they will also arrive soon after Samsung Pay e Android Pay.
