Apr 10, 2016

So-called selfie-pay is frequently hitting the headlines as the future for secure authentication. As we struggle to remember the humble password we will soon be making online purchases confirm our identity through fingerprints or by taking a photo with our smartphones.

MasterCard has some very exciting plans around biometric payments this summer, so I invited Catherine onto the show to talk about the technology we will all be using over the next few months and understand what else is on the horizon.
