How This Will Transform Online Shopping
Imagine checking out online with just your face or fingerprint. No more password juggling, no more OTP waiting games. That's exactly what we've built—a lightning fast, secure way to pay that puts you in control.
Why This Matters
The numbers tell the story:
90% of consumers worldwide prefer biometric authentication over traditional passwords. It's not just about convenience—it's about trust and security.
With online fraud and scams on the rise, traditional passwords just aren't cutting it anymore. Payment Passkey changes this by combining cutting-edge biometric security with a smooth user experience.
How It Works
- Select your securely stored Mastercard at checkout
- Authenticate with your face or fingerprint
- That's it—you're done!
The system automatically recognizes returning customers through their device or email address, making repeat purchases even smoother.
Behind the Innovation
The magic happens through a combination of:
- Advanced tokenization protecting your payment details
- Biometric authentication ensuring it's really you
- Intelligent customer recognition for returning shoppers
- Zero sharing of payment details with third parties
What makes this truly special is our integration of global security standards. We've brought together EMVCo, World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), and FIDO Alliance standards to create a fortress around your payments while keeping the experience lightning fast.
The partnership was signed by Ali Abulhasan, Co-Founder & CEO of Tap Payments, and Maria Parpou, Executive Vice President at Mastercard Gateway.
