In today's fast-paced digital landscape, customers expect seamless, personalized experiences across all touchpoints. Biometric authentication is emerging as a powerful solution to meet these expectations in the payments industry. By using unique individual characteristics like facial features or fingerprints to verify identity, biometrics enable merchants to instantly recognize customers and deliver tailored experiences that boost engagement and loyalty.

Imagine walking into your favorite store and being greeted by name, with personalized product recommendations based on your past purchases. At checkout, you simply smile or swipe your palm to access loyalty rewards, coupons, and a digital wallet for a quick, secure payment. This is the future of commerce that biometrics makes possible.

Streamline transactions, boost efficiency

Biometrics not only enhances the customer experience but also drives operational efficiency for merchants. By reducing friction at checkout, biometric authentication can significantly decrease transaction times and increase throughput. Pilot implementations have shown that biometric ticketing gates process fans 68% faster than traditional methods, achieving 2.5x higher throughput, according to an MLB spokesperson.

In high-volume settings like retail stores or quick-service restaurants, faster transactions translate to shorter lines, reduced abandonment rates, and increased revenue. With 82% of customers avoiding businesses with long lines and 40% abandoning purchases due to lengthy checkout processes, implementing biometrics can directly impact the bottom line.

Strengthen security, combat fraud

As digital payment volumes surge, with global non-cash transactions expected to exceed $28.16 trillion by 2032, according to a Research and Markets report, the need for robust security measures has never been greater. Biometrics offers a powerful solution to combat rising fraud losses, which reached $33.8 billion globally in 2023, according to the Nilson Report.

By verifying the identity of the person conducting the transaction, biometric authentication makes it significantly harder for fraudsters to execute account takeover attacks or use stolen payment credentials. Advanced liveness detection algorithms, which detect whether the biometric input is from a live person rather than an image or replica, can spot spoofing attempts in real-time, while unique biometric data creates verified identity trails that streamline dispute resolution and prevent friendly fraud chargebacks.
