Amazon will pay up to $ 10 to those customers who want to register their hand through Amazon One. This biometric scanner system implemented by the different stores that the company has in the United States, allows the buyer to dispense with any payment device and make purchases quickly. The system is able to detect the palm patterns of the hand, such as fingerprints or veins, in order to associate with a previously registered credit card.
Now, the company is giving away a $ 10 voucher to new users with the condition that they are recorded in one and synchronize their Amazon account. By pairing your user, the client can see the shopping history from the app or through the Web. However, Amazon also takes advantage of the synchronization to show advertising, offers or promotions related to previously acquired products. Something that benefits both advertisers, and the company itself.
The Amazon One support page highlights that the service can compile some of the palm patterns of the hand to improve this technology. The information collected for the aforementioned uses is managed anonymously. The banking data and the data needed to make the payment, on the other hand, are stored in an encrypted manner in the cloud. The company, in addition, allows users to unsubscribe from this payment method at any time, as long as they do not have pending payments.
Amazon One began to be implanted in stores at the end of 2020 as a fast, simple and safe payment method. Today, different physical positions of Amazon in the United States, such as Amazon Go or other pop-up stores, already have this payment system.
Your operation is very simple: the user must register Matching your credit card with the palm of your hand. In this way, the next time you are going to pay and scan your hand, the system will associate the data with those of the credit card and make the payment. Clients, in addition, do not need to have an Amazon account to be able to use this method.
