“An engineering student at Lund University in Sweden has launched a biometric vein-scanning payment technique for stores and coffee shops in the country. After talking to players involved in vein-scanning terminals, banks and stores, a system that worked was developed. There are now currently 15 stores and restaurants, mainly around the Lund University campus, that use the terminals, with 1,600 active users.  Other countries have also begun using biometrics as a payment method. Banks in Japan use vein technology, which allows customers to take money out from their accounts and helps reduce the risk of fraud.”
