Biopays at it again, this time providing the first biometric payment systems in Utah

Wednesday, May 11, 2005 in News

Biopay is at it again with their convenient biometric payment systems. There are countless companies contracted with Biopay that supply their customers with secure payment options and now the state of Utah is getting its first taste of what Biopay can do. Utah residents can now conveniently and securely pay for goods with the touch of their finger at Combos convenience stores Utah using technology from the biometric payments leader. The service has been in place since February and is the first of its kind in any retail store in Utah.


“Many people are intrigued by BioPay and have begun using it in place of their debit cards,” said David Wiscombe, manager for Combos convenience stores. “BioPay transactions cost us 75% less than processing debit card transactions.”

Combos installed BioPay in February 2005 and have processed over 1,000 biometric payments in slightly over 2 months. Customer enrollments have increased by 30% per month in the latest month.

“BioPay has been so successful that we no longer take traditional paper checks,” reports Wiscombe. “If people want to pay by check, we require them to enroll in BioPay. We’ve had no complaints and customers seem to really like the system.”

Combos purchased their landmark biometric payments offering through Identity Protection Systems, a Utah-based authorized agent of BioPay. With this installation, Combos joins over a thousand grocers, convenience stores and liquor stores from around the country who are using BioPay’s biometric solutions to confidently “know” their customers for check cashing, loyalty programs, payments and more. [end]
