The Dhaka Times Desk No need to swipe a credit card when going to the bank booth or shopping! From now you can make purchases and withdraw money from your account by showing your face instead of credit card.
A company named Unicool in Finland has recently developed an authentication system called 'Pay-by-Face'. In this technology, your face will be an alternative to credit cards. If you stand in front of the face scanner to withdraw money or make a purchase, the face scanner will recognize the person using biometric information and all the information of his account number and bank account.
Human face is unique, that is, one person is not similar to another person. This computer system of Unicool technology can identify the differences in human facial patterns to a fine level.
Unicool researchers said that this technology is very safe and secure, because the system uses different levels of mathematical calculations. This technology can recognize the appearance of identical twins differently. They also said that Uniqul Pay-by-Face technology will be used to withdraw experimental money from next month.
Unicool says its pay-by-face technology will be like this, if you go shopping, after scanning your face with Unicool's pay-by-face tablet at the store, it will automatically collect all your bank account information using biometric data. . After that the shopkeeper will press the OK button and the price of your product will be deducted from your account immediately. In this case you don't have to do any signature. The entire process will be completed in just 30 seconds.
Currently, face recognition technology is being used in various fields apart from Unicool.
At the recently held ATM conference in London, US security firm Diebold showcased a new ATM system called 'Millennium ATM' that uses face recognition to identify customers.
