@Revolut just launched payments with your face called "Pay with Smile" 🤯 No card. No phone. Just look at the screen and pay. The new Pay with Smile feature is being piloted in London from today at selected Kiss the Hippo cafes. Here’s how it works: → Tap “Pay with Smile” on a Revolut Register → Facial recognition verifies your identity → The payment is authenticated → Money moves account-to-account Customers have to actively opt in through the Revolut app, and Revolut says merchants won’t store customers’ facial recognition data. Another interesting piece for merchants: 0% processing fees on Pay with Smile transactions. Alex Codina, GM of Merchant Payments at Revolut Business: “By combining high-performance processing with facial recognition technology, we’re replacing outdated, fragmented tills with a hyper-efficient checkout experience.” The pilot runs in London’s Bloomsbury, Chelsea and Soho locations from September 24–26, with a wider rollout of Revolut Register coming later. We’ve spent years moving from cash → cards → phones → wearables. Now your face could become the payment method. Would you be comfortable paying like this??

I’ll pass. I don’t need my biometrics in a centralized server at my bank.

Biometrics does not bring anything particular in terms of friction. If the device does not have proper access to the internet it will have the same issue as a regular pos. It's just another mean to connect the payment with the payer account, quite sensitive btw.
