U.S. chain Thriftway introduced the system, which uses technology from Pay By Touch, in its store in the Seattle area in 2002. It said it now sees thousands of transactions a month using the payment method.
Once people have enrolled in the Pay By Touch system, they have their fingerprint scanned as verification of identity at the checkout. They then choose which credit card they want to pay the bill with, having already registered the credit cards with the store.
Register your prints, and your cards. After that, it is as simple as touch and go. They are saying that there hasnt been any fraudulent transactions with the new system. Pretty cool if you ask me.
