Vietnam Card Day is an annual event organized by Tien Phong newspaper and NAPAS over the past 4 years under the direction of the State Bank of Vietnam. With the theme "Live chill - Pay quality", NAPAS continues to bring to the event an ecosystem of diverse cashless products and services for young people; Providing many products and services, contributing to diversifying the cashless payment ecosystem in Vietnam.
Biometric authentication payment technology… with just a smile
Bringing to Vietnam Card Day this year, in addition to familiar cashless payment methods such as NAPAS cards, VietQR codes, Tap to phone… NAPAS will introduce a payment feature based on user authentication technology through facial recognition – Smile to pay. Based on the application of biometric technology, users only need 1-2 seconds to recognize their face with a gentle smile to complete the transaction.
The solution is based on comparing and authenticating information from the national population database built by NAPAS and piloted with the first bank, PVcombank, and will be expanded to other banks in the near future.
With this breakthrough feature, customers can pay for shopping transactions by recognizing smiling faces for biometric authentication right on devices located at the connected store system without having to use cards or mobile phone applications to pay.
This process is done using Bluetooth low energy (BLE) technology to connect information between the store's payment device/application and the customer's phone, ensuring that the processing of biometric information through the NAPAS BioPay portal is secure, safe, and matches C06 data before completing the payment transaction.
