Facial Recognition Payment Coming Soon to Small and Medium-Sized Supermarkets

Here is today's first insightful news update.

It is news about facial recognition payment systems coming to neighborhood supermarkets.

The day when you can pay simply with your face, without a wallet or mobile phone, seems just around the corner.

Togethers has signed a business agreement with Toss.

The facial recognition payment service, Face Pay, will be introduced sequentially to about 5,000 small and medium-sized supermarkets nationwide.

At supermarkets equipped with this system, customers will be able to pay for their items simply by showing their face to the store terminal.

Until now, small and medium-sized supermarkets have mostly managed only card approvals and sales settlements.

Their weakness was that it was somewhat difficult to carry out promotional activities utilizing customer data, unlike large hypermarkets.

The industry expects that if the adoption of such IT technology takes off in earnest, competition in member management and promotions among small and medium-sized supermarkets will also increase.
