Visa and Tencent pilot palm payments in Singapore

The pilot will involve DBS, OCBC, and UOB Visa cardholders.

Tencent has partnered with Visa to introduce palm recognition technology for digital payments in Singapore.

Under the pilot programme, Visa cardholders from DBS, OCBC, and UOB can make payments with their palms at select locations, starting with Alchemist café.

The technology features a two-step process– verifying palm prints and vein patterns– and uses encryption to ensure data privacy and security.

Pilot users will complete a one-time enrollment by scanning their Visa card and palm, enabling future payments with a palm scan.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
