Handwave lends a hand to retailers with its European alternative to Amazon’s palm payments

Handwave, a Latvian startup, has introduced an independent alternative to Amazon's palm payment system in Europe. The company's technology allows customers to make payments using their handprints, providing a convenient and secure payment option for retailers. Unlike Amazon's palm payment system, which is integrated with the company's ecosystem, Handwave's solution is designed to be a standalone system that can be adopted by any retailer, regardless of their existing payment infrastructure. This offers retailers an alternative to the Amazon-centric approach, providing them with more flexibility and control over their payment processes. Handwave's system uses advanced biometric technology to securely authenticate users, ensuring that transactions are safe and protected against fraud. The startup aims to address the growing demand for convenient and innovative payment methods, particularly in the European market, where Amazon's palm payments have not yet been widely adopted. The launch of Handwave's European alternative represents a significant development in the payment technology landscape, as businesses and consumers seek more diverse and independent options for their financial transactions.
