UAE rolls out PalmPay: Pay with your palm

  • 15 days ago
You could soon hover your palm in front of machines to pay for your purchases at stores across the UAE. That means no more swiping your bank cards or phones at cash counters after shopping.

“The rollout of the Palm Pay technology is planned to happen gradually throughout 2024,” Abdallah Abu Sheikh, founder of the technology development group Astra Tech, told Khaleej Times. The company launched the payment solution through its fintech subsidiary PayBy at the Dubai Fintech Summit.
