Pay with a smile: the future of physical payments
Join Revolut Business for an exclusive look at how facial recognition technology is completely eliminating checkout friction.
We have moved from cash to chip-and-PIN, and then to contactless mobile wallets. Yet, despite this progress, in-person hospitality and retail checkouts are still hostage to physical hardware. The future of payments isn't in a device, it is in your presence.
As younger demographics increasingly seek hands-free, seamless experiences, the moment of payment remains a clunky disruption that breaks eye contact and service flow.
In this masterclass, Jesús Romo, Head of In-Person Payments at Revolut, will explore the total market shift towards biometric authentication and how adopting invisible, presence-based checkout can deliver a flawless guest experience while significantly cutting your operational costs.
We will discuss:
The Biometric Evolution: Why the industry is moving away from phones and physical wallets toward frictionless, presence-based checkout, and how consumers are adapting.
Introducing Pay with Smile: An inside look at Revolut's biometric, dual-screen checkout that securely authenticates transactions in under 1.5 seconds without the customer ever reaching for their wallet.
Restoring the Guest Experience: How removing the physical hardware bottleneck prevents queue abandonment, speeds up venue throughput, and brings human connection back to the service flow.
The Operational ROI: Why unifying this hands-free technology natively with your business banking and acquiring ecosystem eliminates middleman markups, multi-vendor reconciliation headaches, and monthly terminal fees.
