Biometric POS terminals comprise point-of-sale (POS) devices that use biometrics-based data like fingerprints, retina scans, or even facial recognition to authenticate the identity of a customer or employee. These terminals replace PINs or passwords to verify the identity of the individual. Biometric POS terminals are often used to prevent fraud and theft or in key industries where security is critical. The retail, medical and healthcare, food service (restaurants), financial, logistics, government, and entertainment industries are some of the major end-users of biometric POS terminals.
