Dutch supermarkets trying out fingerprint purchasing
Albert Heijn, a chain of Dutch supermarkets, is starting a new payment option for their customers using payment via fingerprints, according to VNU Net. The chain is treating this as a six-month trial called the Tip2Pay project and is working with Equens, a fingerprint payment processor.
Those wishing to register will need to present proof of ID, a debit card, their customer loyalty card and their fingerprint. Heijn and Equens will conduct the six-month trial with IT-Werke, a company that helps commercial businesses integrate biometrics. IT-Werke has already seen success with a similar program in 120 German supermarkets.
