Amazon One is an Android application that allows users to purchase products by scanning their palm at selected retail stores of the eponymous company.
Uniqueness
A new service by Amazon offers its clients to complete payments by using their palms. It is possible to link your hand to your account details and make seamless transactions at local retail stores in the US.
This new approach does not require having your ID or bank cards to pay for your groceries. You can just take a photo of your palm and upload the image to your Amazon account. It is possible to pay for products at the checkout by putting your hand on a special device.
At the moment of writing this review, the payment method is in development and will be available in more than 500 food market stores and over 150 third party locations for the first time.
Link profile
