You are at the check-out of a grocery store. You are ready to pay for your food. Then you find out that you have left your wallet at home! What can you do?
Don’t worry. You just have to put your finger near a special scanner. The grocery bill will be taken out of your bank account.
We are not joking.
A new system that scans customers’ fingerprints and subtracts(除去)the grocery bill from their bank accounts has taken supermarkets in Germany by storm. Stores, school canteens and even bars are picking it up.
The Edeka supermarket chain is the first retail(零售)business in Germany to use the new
system. “Almost a quarter of our customers pay with their fingers,” said an employee at the headquarters.
Edeka has tried the system at 70 of its supermarkets.It says it will introduce it at 200 others because customers like it
“At first we thought that only the young who really keep up with the latest technology would be interested,but we were wrong, ”said Stenfan Sewoester from IT Work.
“Almost two-thirds of the people who use the system are 40 and older.” he said.
IT Worker, a computer company, is one of the pioneers of fingerprint payment software in Germany. It has helped about 150shops, canteens and bars to put in the fingerprint scanning machines. Each cost about 2.000 euros(20.000yuan).
To sign up for the service,customers must have their fingerprints taken and leave her addresses and banking details with the shop.The shop then takes the cost of goods directly out of the customer’s bank account.
“It is especially a good thing for elderly people. Now they do not have to remember their pin(密码)to pay with their bank cards,or to look around for their glasses cash.” Sewoester said.
The stores benefits from the system too. It saves more than time in the check-out line. It also cuts out the hidden costs of accepting electronic card payments.
