Instead of entering a code, you can now use your fingerprint or face to confirm purchases.
This makes transactions faster, taking only a few seconds.
It's like unlocking your phone, but for payments!
The new system is safe and follows the rules set by the government.
It's currently available for some cardholders at certain stores, with plans to expand to more people soon.

The solution uses fingerprint or Face ID for verification, replacing OTPs.
