The first among large marketplaces: Wildberries are testing payment using biometrics
Tatyana Bakalchuk said:
For us, the main thing is the buyer and his needs. We strive to implement modern digital technologies that simplify shopping on the marketplace and help protect your account. We are pleased to be the first major marketplace to test payment using biometrics. I am sure that cooperation with CBT will simplify the payment process as much as possible.
Vladislav Povolotsky noted that closed testing of the service for paying for purchases using biometrics is now being completed on the Wildberries platform and the companies hope to “make it available to users in the near future.” He added:
I am convinced that payment by sight online will be popular and will introduce thousands of people to bioacquiring – the most advanced method of contactless payment.
