Preference for biometric payments in Austria in 2023, by age and gender
Elderly people in Austria were more open to use biometric authentication for payments over other options available to them than their younger counterparts. This is according to a survey held among consumers ages 18 to 77. "Biometric payments" is a term that captures any POS payment performed using a person's physical traits. This can include iris scanning or speech recognition, but often refers to facial recognition and fingerprint scanning. The source claims the use of biometric payment is "on the horizon", although it does not specify which type of biometric authentication it refers to here.
