Paytm working on payments through facial recognition

No card swiping or QR code scanning, you can soon make payments for your purchases through your smile! Paytm, which pioneered quick response (QR) code payments in India, is working on a new technology to enable payments through facial recognition, the company’s founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma has revealed.

“I want to share this fact that at a check-in time, no swiping, no card punching, no phone QR scanning, nothing. Just walk in…putting the product and getting an invoice, yes, we have done this at the checkout,” Sharma said at an industry event.
