📢 Hyundai Duty Free introduces 'Toss Face Pay'!

Hyundai Duty Free has announced that it will introduce Toss's facial recognition payment service, Face Pay! Going forward, it seems like duty-free shopping will become faster and more convenient, since you'll be able to complete payment just by having your face recognized, without needing to take out a card or your phone. I'm a little worried too, though. These days, personal information still gets leaked, after all... ✅ What is FacePay? FacePay is a facial recognition-based simple payment service provided by Toss. It has already been tested at offline convenience stores, cafes, and more, so its convenience has been proven. ▪︎ Pay just by having your face recognized — no card needed ▪︎ Register your facial information in the Toss app → In-store camera recognizes you → Payment happens automatically ▪︎ Lower risk of loss ↓ / Faster payment speed ↑ ✅ When will it start? 1.
