Key Facts

  • The Victa range offers optional facial and palm-vein payment acceptance.
  • Terminals carry PCI PTS 7.x certification.
  • Australia follows an initial New Zealand rollout.

Card Text

Palm vein sits between convenience and assurance for payments, being harder to capture covertly than a face while still contactless. Shipping both modalities as options on standard PCI-certified terminals is how biometric payment acceptance reaches merchants without separate hardware programmes.
