A microchip implant now lets people pay by scanning their hand

Apr 11 2022

The future really is now as new developmental technology is giving people the ability to pay by using their hand.

And no we don’t mean using your hand to scan your card or to use Revolut. We actually mean scanning a part of your hand as a microchip implant does all the payments for you.

Patrick Paumen is one such figure who is utilising the technology, paying by using his hand as he had one of these chips implanted in him back in 2019 just under his arm’s skin.

British-Polish firm Walletmor says that last year it became the first company to offer such microchips for sale for the general public. The company excitedly (or hauntingly) boasted how this chip will be used in all sorts of establishments come the near future.

From paying for a haircut to groceries, people will be able to use such chips to instantly pay for various items or services. It can technically already be used anywhere contactless payments are accepted.

The chip weighs less than a gram and is a little bigger than a grain of rice. The chief executive Wojtek Paprota says that the chip is entirely safe, has regulatory approval, works immediately and will remain firmly in place. Over 500 of them have already been sold and they do not require batteries.
