Tencent has introduced its palm-recognition technology in Macau, allowing mainland tourists to make payments using WeChat Pay by scanning their palms. This is the first time Tencent’s WeChat Pay has launched palm payments outside of mainland China, initially in over 60 shops and locations in Galaxy Entertainment Group resorts. The technology identifies palm prints and vein patterns, and users must activate the feature on their mainland WeChat wallet.
