ВТБ представил терминал для оплаты «по ладони»

The presentation of the new device and payment scenario took place at Finopolis-2025.

VTB, together with the Center for Biometric Technologies, has presented a new technological solution that allows you to accept payment for goods when authenticating a user by the pattern of the veins of the palm. The client only needs to bring his palm to a special screen-scanner. The IR sensor reads the pattern of blood vessels, recognizes the buyer and finds the payment instrument linked to the account.

According to the bank, palm recognition may become a popular alternative to other increasingly popular biometric payment methods. The palm pattern is a reliable user identifier, and is also easier to scan - in some cases it is easier and faster than standing in front of the terminal camera, which reads payment "by face". Yulia Kopytova, Head of Analysis, Coordination and Product Development Department, Senior Vice President of VTB, said:

Palmprint identification technology is already in use in other countries, such as China. Modern payment solutions are moving further and further away from the need to constantly carry not only cash or a card, but also a smartphone or other devices. Authentication using biometric data allows you to make payments literally on the go: in transport or in a coffee shop.

Earlier, the solution was tested at the VTB accelerator site in the third quarter of 2025.
