French supermarket Carrefour has introduced a new biometric payment system that analyzes the unique vein patterns in customer’s hands to make a secure transaction, reportedly the first of its kind in Europe.
French paper The Connexion reported that Carrefour Market in Paris has partnered with fintech company Ingenico to introduce this new type of payment terminal. Trials will begin starting July 29th – a date that was chosen because Paris is the host city for the Olympics.
‘Before use, customers register their vein pattern on a dedicated terminal, and link it to their bank card,’ the French outlet explained. ‘The customer can make a purchase by simply holding the palm of their registered hand over a dedicated payment terminal.’
“This system ensures a high level of security for personal and banking data,” said Carrefour. “[It] will make the checkout experience smoother and improve the customer experience.”
Ingenico debuted its vein palm-reading terminals at the start of 2023. The company claims that “a common challenge persists in payments: verifying that the person using the payment method is the person authorized to use the payment method.”
The company explained in a press release that this method of payment is most secure, and customer’s interactions are then tokenized.
Merchants never quite know if the person dipping the payment card in the card reader is the account holder or if the person using the account at a kiosk is the person whose account is covering the transaction.
Palm vein identification, for example, is one of the most accurate forms of biometric identification. A payment system leveraging this form of authentication encrypts and tokenizes images of consumers’ palm vein patterns and their account information. It’s a less intrusive method than other options like facial or iris scans, and it’s easier to implement and operate.
The company wrote
Ingenico additionally argues that “consumers don’t have to fumble for a payment card, remember a PIN, or unlock a smartphone and open a mobile wallet.” They also say to “don’t discount the “cool factor,” which can entice consumers to try and adopt this payment method. Early adopters, in particular, will benefit from the novelty of this emerging technology.”
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Yet another step closer to the eventual mark of the beast.
Revelation 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: [17] And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. [18] Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
There are plenty of other palm-reading payment terminals The WP has reported on, not even including the face and eye scanners:

Furthermore, this issue of tokenization rears its ugly head again. I will be doing a more detailed report on this soon, but for now you can read these reports I’ve done discussing tokenization.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
