Amazon Will Let Whole Foods Shoppers Pay With a Palm Scan

Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) announced this week that it will begin using biometric technology that will allow Whole Foods customers at the Madison Broadway store in Seattle to pay for purchases with a scan of their palm print. The system, dubbed Amazon One, allows users to link a credit card account to their palm print, which they can then use as a payment method. Other Whole Foods stores will offer the tech in coming months, and this is likely just the beginning.
