European basketball club Stella Artois Leuven Bears and Perfect-ID have introduced a revolutionary way of payment: palm payment. This innovative system will enable Stella Artois Leuven Bears fans to purchase their favourite drinks and snacks with nothing more than their palm.
The launch of this groundbreaking technology took place recently, when Marc Strackx, Director of Perfect-ID, made the world’s very first purchase of a refreshing Stella using his palm via the PALMKI payment solution. This historic event marks a new era of payment convenience and reaffirms Stella Artois Leuven Bears’ commitment to providing the best possible experience for their fans.
Strackx states: “We are thrilled to support Stella Artois Leuven Bears in this wonderful collaboration. Palm payment is an innovative and secure way to complete transactions, and we are confident it will significantly enhance the fan experience.”
“As the European capital of innovation, we always strive to break new ground when it comes to innovation. PALMKI’s technology brings together everything that Leuven excels in: top sports, innovation and welcoming hospitality,” says Leuven’s representative for Sport and Trade, Johan Geleyns.
Palm payment uses advanced biometric technology, offering a seamless and fast way to make purchases. Fans only need to scan their palm to authorise their payment, eliminating long queues and the need for cash and cards.
