Your face is your ID

Dutch online and mobile transactions specialist Adyen has unveiled an application that lets people make payments using only their faces.

Tapping smartphone and tablet cameras, the Face-ID app requires customers to show their faces and then uses recognition technology to make a match. To confirm they have been correctly identified, the customers just give a thumbs up sign.

The app unveils today. Find out if your face is already in the system at http://www.adyen.com/FaceID/
