NOW MAKE
THEM HUMAN.
A DIFFERENT KIND OF CHECKOUT

Cards, phones, passwords and wallets changed the way we pay — but they still make us carry something, remember something or reach for something. PayByFace is designed around a simpler interaction: authenticate with your face and let the payment experience disappear into the moment.

HOW IT WORKS

Four steps.
One glance.

PayByFace connects biometric identity with the checkout experience so participating customers can leave the wallet, card and phone behind.

01 / ENROLL

CREATE
YOUR IDENTITY

Download the PayByFace consumer app, create your account and establish your biometric profile.

02 / CONNECT

ADD YOUR
PAYMENT

Add your active debit or credit card and configure additional account security such as a PIN.

03 / VERIFY

LOOK.
GET VERIFIED.

At a participating PayByFace merchant, the system detects and recognizes the customer at the biometric point of sale.

04 / PAY

CONFIRM.
WALK AWAY.

Review the purchase total and complete the transaction through the connected payment processing flow.

THE PAYBYFACE EXPERIENCE

THE PAYMENT SHOULD FEEL LIKE NOTHING.

Imagine reaching the checkout with nothing in your hands. The interaction is reduced to identity, verification and confirmation — an experience designed to feel almost invisible.

THE TECHNOLOGY

IDENTITY.
INTELLIGENCE.
PAYMENT.

PayByFace combines biometric recognition, account controls and payment infrastructure into a single customer experience.

01

Facial recognition

Biometric recognition connects a live customer interaction with an enrolled PayByFace identity.

02

Local biometric processing

PayByFace documentation describes face detection and recognition as being processed locally on the merchant kiosk for its recognition process.

03

Additional authorization

Account controls and, when required, a four-digit PIN can provide an additional authorization step at checkout.

04

Payment gateway orchestration

Transaction details are passed into the relevant third-party payment processing flow rather than treating the PayByFace account as a bank account.

SECURITY BY DESIGN

Trust the process.
Not the friction.

Biometric payments need more than recognition. PayByFace is designed around multiple layers of identity, account and transaction controls.

PayByFace states that the selfie image used for its face-recognition process is not uploaded, downloaded or saved on a server for that recognition process, while a biometric face template is used for matching. Exact data handling, payment processing and availability can vary by market and service configuration.
