\"SelfiePay<\/a><\/p>\n

Smile, you\u2019re paying!<\/p>\n

This summer, MasterCard<\/strong> will allow 14 countries to pay online<\/strong> \u2026 with selfies<\/strong>! Yes, that will really happen.
\n
\nThis deployment is the culmination of a project that MasterCard has been working on for months now.<\/p>\n

\u201cSelfie Pay<\/strong>\u201d and fingerprint recognition have been tried out in the Netherlands by more than 750 customers of ABN AMRO Bank.
\nFollowing this test phase, 90% of them declared they were ready to adopt these biometric identification techniques rather than use the good old PIN code.<\/p>\n

To authorize your payments, you\u2019ll just have to blink!
\nMore specifically, when it\u2019s time to pay, after filling out your MasterCard details, you will have the choice between fingerprint recognition<\/strong> or facial recognition<\/strong>. If you go for the selfie option, you will have to open an app designed for this purpose.<\/p>\n

The app will then scan your face, and if it recognizes it (but what if it doesn\u2019t, right?), it will validate your payment.<\/p>\n

To prevent piracy or the use of a photo of your face, you\u2019ll have to blink. In front of your phone\u2019s lens.<\/p>\n

Yes, it will be weird at first but, don\u2019t worry, you\u2019ll get used to it!<\/p>\n
