Modern shopping just got a whole lot faster and smoother with the launch of the new Amazon One app. This app eliminates the need for a physical visit to sign up for Amazon One, their palm-recognition payment system. Now users can sign up from anywhere – home, work, or even on the go – using the app available on both iOS and Android devices.

Faster sign-ups means faster queues in stores, adding to the whole experience

The Amazon One app streamlines the entire process. Simply log in to your existing Amazon account, take a photo of your palm using your phone’s camera, and add a preferred payment method, all within the app itself. This eliminates the need to spend extra time enrolling during checkout at participating stores. Faster sign-ups translate to faster lines, making the shopping experience smoother for both you and the retailer.

Amazon Palm Payments

Once enrolled, you can use your palm for a variety of purposes at any participating location. This includes payments, entry (where applicable), age verification, and even loyalty program access. Amazon One is currently accepted at over 500 Whole Foods Market stores, select Amazon stores, and over 150 third-party locations like stadiums, airports, and convenience stores.

But how does the app ensure security when using a phone photo for enrollment? Amazon One utilizes advanced AI technology for a secure and accurate system. Generative AI creates synthetic palm images to train machine learning models, while another AI innovation allows the app to match a simple phone camera photo with the near-infrared imagery captured by an Amazon One device in-store. This ensures a secure enrollment process.

Security remains a top priority for Amazon One. Palm images captured through the app are encrypted and uploaded to a secure Amazon One domain. These images cannot be accessed from your phone, and the app utilizes additional safeguards to prevent spoofing.
