Imagine paying for your groceries without taking out your wallet, credit card or even your smartphone. That’s now possible with the introduction of FacePay, a new facial recognition-based payment introduced by Aeon Credit.

According to Aeon, FacePay allows registered Aeon Wallet users to pay for their purchases simply by scanning their face at selected self-checkout counters. Instead of scanning a QR code or tapping a card, the system recognises the customer and processes the payment through their linked Aeon payment account.

Aeon Credit is describing this as Malaysia’s first FacePay payment experience, and it is currently available exclusively at Aeon Supermarket KL Midtown.

To use FacePay, customers must first register through the Aeon Wallet app.
