Vision Labs partners with Thawani Technologies to bring facepay to Oman

Dubai, UAE: VisionLabs, an advanced Computer Vision technologies provider from the Netherlands, together with Oman-based partner - Thawani Technologies are bringing facial payments to Oman. The first FacePay terminals, which allow to complete a transaction through facial recognition or a more commonly used credit card, will soon appear in the Sultanate of Oman.

The solution will be presented at the Seamless Middle East 2023 exhibition (booth F32), which will take place on 23-24 May 2023 in Dubai. The technology will be demonstrated at a conceptual coffee spot and a gift shop, which will give a chance to pay for coffee drinks and presents using Thawani Wallet by using facial recognition instead of paying by credit card.

The advanced FacePay technology, which represents a duo of a face recognition terminal and an AI-based backend software, has proven to have > 99% accuracy and is capable of identifying the person even with a partially occluded/covered face. Besides payment processing, KYC, fraud protection, access control and forensic solutions will be demonstrated.

“Modern facial payment technologies ensure a high level of safety and data protection. Multiple pilots for face payments happen now around the world, familiarising people with this innovative payment method and building trust in it.
