Amazon will pay up to $ 10 to those customers who want to register their hand through Amazon One . This biometric scanner system, implemented by the different stores that the company has in the United States, allows the buyer to do without any payment device and make purchases quickly. The system is capable of detecting palm patterns, such as fingerprints or veins, in order to associate them with a previously registered credit card.
Now, the company is giving away a $ 10 voucher to new users on the condition that they sign up for One and sync their Amazon account . By matching their user, the customer will be able to see the purchase history from the app or through the web. However, Amazon also takes advantage of synchronization to display advertisements, offers or promotions related to previously purchased products. Something that benefits both advertisers and the company itself.
The Amazon One support page highlights that the service can compile some of the palm patterns of the hand to improve this technology. The information collected for the aforementioned uses is managed anonymously. The bank details and the data necessary to make the payment, on the other hand, are stored in an encrypted way in the cloud. The company also allows users to unsubscribe from this payment method at any time, as long as they have no pending payments.
Amazon One: a payment system with the palm of your hand
Amazon One began to be implemented in stores at the end of 2020 as a fast, simple and secure payment method. To date, different physical Amazon positions in the United States, such as Amazon Go or other pop-up stores, already have this payment system.
Its operation is very simple: The user must register by matching his credit card with the palm of his hand. In this way, the next time you go to pay and scan your hand, the system will associate the data with those of the credit card and make the payment . Customers also do not need to have an Amazon account to use this method.
