Revolut to roll out facial recognition payments in the UK
Revolut is preparing a facial recognition payment system for shops and hospitality venues in the UK, letting customers pay by looking at a checkout terminal, Sifted reports.
Sifted reported that the company is gearing up to roll out the service, describing a capability that is being prepared rather than one already in use. The report appears under the headline “Revolut unveils facial recognition payments in UK”.
As described, a customer at the till would complete a purchase by looking at the terminal in front of them, with shops and hospitality venues in the UK given as the intended settings for the system.
The item was published within Sifted’s fintech coverage, which the outlet describes as a weekly update on trends across neo-banking, buy now pay later, payments and the fintech startup scene. Revolut has not confirmed further detail on the timing of the rollout in the report.
