Digital payments specialist Nets is now introducing a trial for [finger vein payments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iris-id) at CBS, experimenting with the system as a safer, faster and more secure way to serve customers. The finger scanners installed in the cafeteria makes it possible for anyone with a Dankort, the national debit card of Denmark, to enrol and link their unique finger vein pattern to their account. Unlike other methods of [biometric verification](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hr-face-check), such as scanning the fingerprints, which can easily be replicated, these finger scanners authenticate individual users based on the detection of circulating blood. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 36% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [Retail](https://www.trendhunter.com/retail) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Biometric Student Payments:** The use of finger scanners for student payments is an innovative and convenient way to make transactions on campuses. - **Safer and Faster Payments:** The trial of finger vein payments at Copenhagen Business School offers a more secure and efficient alternative to traditional payment methods. - **Unique Finger Vein Authentication:** The use of finger vein pattern authentication ensures higher security compared to easily replicable biometric verification methods. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Digital Payments:** The introduction of finger scanners for payments opens up opportunities for advancements in digital payment systems and technologies. - **Education:** The implementation of biometric student payments presents an innovative approach to transforming payment systems in educational institutions. - **Security and Authentication:** The adoption of unique finger vein authentication techniques in payment systems creates disruptive innovation opportunities in security and authentication industries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fingerprint-Scanning Payment Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biometric-payment-cards.md) - [Biometric Debit Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biometric-debit-card.md) - [Biometric Banking Technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biometric-system.md) - [In-Car Fuel Payments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedes-pay.md) - [Grocery Payment Palm Scanners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazon-one-1.md) - [Palm-Enabled Contactless Payments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazon-6.md) - [Futuristic Palm-Scna Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tcl-d2-pro.md) - [Bank-Enabled Payment Rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intesa-sanpaolo-1.md) - [Fingerprint-Scanning Water Dispensers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/water-dispenser-concept.md)
