DUMKA | Future is coming: Now Ukrainians are able to pay with a fingerprint

Now, in Ukraine you can pay for your purchases just with the help of a fingerprint. From now on you can forget not only about cash and credit cards, but smartphones as well. Currently this service is available for PrivatBank clients. It is reported that this offer will be of a particular interest to small and medium businesses as well as for street vendors. More information in reactions from DUMKA.

You can see innovation in action on the page of Visa employee Eugene Lisnyak. According to him, now you only need to place your finger, wait a little bit and take a bottle of water. Just curious, will it be possible to use someone’s finger when he sleeps, or it’s too much?

Here, “Privatbank” clerk Alexander Zhiltsov informed us that it’s still a pilot project. The first ones who paid for their purchases “cash, smartphones and cards free” were guests of one of the Kyiv festivals. So, according to bank employee’s note, to pay by finger, you just need to “attach” your fingerprint to the credit card and pay at the outlets. Well, it’s time to make your bets ladies and gentlemen, what will happen first: Everyone will set up their fingerprints, or this know-how will be set up everywhere.

Another employee of the bank stressed that “the future is already here”. Oh future how fast it changes. It seems that only a month ago, the same thing was said about the ability to pay with the smartphone. How others progresses grow fast.

But, don’t you think that it is the end, finish and no starts? No, for example, fingerprints are not enough for some users: They could have made available purchases by iris scan. And who knows, is it disguised sarcasm or real opinion of the author. At least he could have put some hashtags.

Yuriy Chevrodov, a media expert, mocked a little bit at those who foresaw technological impoverishment to “Privatbank”. He reminded cautiously that it was a state-owned bank that recently enabled to pay by smartphone, and now it offers to be limited by only a fingerprint. The main thing is that this progress better not to stop in this phase, isn’t it?

For those who tend to treat innovations skeptically and like to criticize everyone and everything, Facebook community created a particular joke. Have fun with new technology!
