Biometric Authentication
Biometric authentication is a security method that verifies a user’s identity using unique biological traits such as fingerprints, facial recognition, or voice patterns. In the payment processing industry, it enhances security by preventing fraud and allowing customers to authenticate transactions quickly and securely without passwords or PINs.
How Biometric Authentication Works
When a customer initiates a payment, biometric authentication scans and matches their unique features against stored data to verify identity. This process ensures that only authorized users can complete transactions, reducing fraud risks and improving the checkout experience. Many digital wallets, banking apps, and payment gateways now integrate biometric authentication for added protection.
