Uzbekistan was the first in the CIS to implement the MyID Palm payment system in the metro

Uzbekistan has become the first country in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) to implement an innovative biometric system for paying metro fares using the MyID Palm technology.

The MyID Palm system uses palm vein pattern scanning to identify passengers. This solution, developed in Uzbekistan by the integrator Uzinfocom and the payment system operator ATTO, will ensure fast, secure, and contactless payments.

The implementation of the Palm ID system in public transport is an important step for Uzbekistan in the field of digital technologies. The system not only improves convenience and safety for our citizens but also opens up new horizons for the use of biometrics in various spheres, making our country more technologically advanced and future-oriented.

To use the system, passengers need to:

— have a smartphone and a transport card

— register at metro stations by scanning their palm to create a biometric profile

— link their transport card to the biometric profile via a mobile application.

The technology developed in Uzbekistan ensures a high level of security, preventing unauthorized access and forgery of biometric data. Additionally, the use of MyID Palm significantly reduces payment time and enhances passenger comfort.
