When your car is also a payment device


The fingerprint sensor present in some Mercedes-Benz models will help validate certain payments. — AFP Relaxnews

Thanks to new technology developed by German manufacturer Mercedes-Benz, it will soon be possible to authenticate transactions simply via a fingerprint sensor present in the car interior, with no need for a PIN code or validation by smartphone. The aim is to facilitate the payment of car-related services.

Mercedes-Benz is the first car manufacturer in the world to integrate this type of payment authentication directly into a car, in a native and secure way. Initially, this new functionality will be reserved for German users and only Visa is supported. Other card systems will gradually be added and activated for Mercedes pay+ as the service is rolled out across Europe.
