PulseWallet, the innovative electronic transaction POS provider, will be demonstrating their ultra-secure, first-of-its-kind, cardless Point-of-Sale solution at CES International, 2014 in Las Vegas. The key feature of the PulseWallet solution is the use of PalmSecure biometric technology by Fujitsu Frontech North America, an innovative technology and front-end solutions provider. The integrated “spoof-proof” PalmSecure vein imaging technology enables merchants to provide one of the most secure payment options available, while providing an all-in-one payment system for consumers to access their electronic wallets.

The consumer's PulseWallet account electronically tracks and stores receipts and coupons, and can only be accessed by the consumer. In addition, merchants, always looking for ways to link their corporate brand to green marketing initiatives, can go paperless at check out.
The Fujitsu PalmSecure biometric palm vein sensors use a near-infrared light to capture a user's palm vein pattern, generating a unique biometric template that is matched against the encrypted palm vein patterns of pre-registered users. Unlike other readers, the PalmSecure sensor does not come into contact with the skin, so it is hygienic, non-intrusive and unrestricted by external factors such as skin types and conditions. Registration at any PulseWallet terminal takes less than one minute and authentication takes less than one second.
Fujitsu's family of biometric solutions utilize the award-winning technology. The palm vein device can only recognize the pattern if the blood is actively flowing within the individual's veins, so forgery is virtually impossible. This advanced, vascular pattern recognition technology not only provides highly reliable authentication with low false accept and reject rates, but also allows for fast and easy enrollment.
