Pay By Touch

Pay By Touch

Pay By Touch was a privately held company which enabled consumers to pay for goods and services with a swipe of their finger on a biometric sensor. It allowed secure access to checking, credit card, loyalty, healthcare, and other personal information, through the unique characteristics of an individual's biometric features, thereby creating a highly secure anti-identity theft platform.

The company was based in San Francisco, California with 10 offices worldwide. Pay By Touch had over 800 employees and provided retailers with products in biometric financial transactions, biometric age verification, loyalty and personalized marketing, and payment processing. On March 19th, 2008, without notifying their customers, Pay By Touch shut down and is no longer in operation.
