Point-of-sale (POS) fraud remains a global menace, draining retailer profits and eroding consumer confidence. In 2024, retail fraud losses reached $139 billion worldwide, underscoring the urgent need for secure payment solutions.
Gekonova’s SmartHub Pay, a state-of-the-art Palm Vein POS Machine, harnesses advanced biometric technology to combat fraud, offering a contactless, highly secure payment method. This article delves into the SmartHub Pay’s innovative features, its benefits for retailers and customers, and its transformative potential across global markets in 2025.
The vulnerabilities of traditional payment systems—cards, PINs, and signatures—are increasingly exploited through card skimming, data breaches, and identity theft. These threats demand a robust, future-proof solution to protect both retailers and their customers. Gekonova rises to this challenge with the SmartHub Pay, a Palm Vein POS Machine that authenticates transactions using the unique vein patterns beneath a customer’s skin.
This biometric approach delivers unparalleled security, eliminates contact-based risks, and redefines the standard for safe, efficient retail payments.
The SmartHub Pay palm vein payment machine combines simplicity with cutting-edge security, making payments as intuitive as waving a hand. Customers hover their palm over the device, which employs near-infrared light to map the unique vein structure beneath their skin. Within 1.5 seconds, the system verifies the user’s identity and processes the transaction without any physical contact.
Gekonova’s proprietary technology ensures these vein patterns are virtually impossible to replicate, offering a fraud-resistant alternative to traditional card-based systems. This seamless, hygienic process enhances both security and convenience at the checkout.
