Does Facial Recognition Technology Suddenly Ramp Up In Russia?

From facial recognition surveillance cameras around the city to facial-payment system at metro station gates and supermarket checkouts, facial recognition technology seems rapidly taking root in Moscow. Does facial recognition technology suddenly ramp up in Russia?

In fact, early in 2018, Russian banks had already allowed the citizens of the Russian Federation to enjoy banking services remotely once they submit their biometric data. The authorities also hoped to make remotely public services accessible through biometric. Above all, the pandemic made increasingly Russians turn to contactless payment, which requires them to connect their biometric data with the bank account.

Against the backdrop, facial recognition technology and facial-payment technology gain rapid development in Russia. As we heard, Russia leading food retailer X5 group plans to introduce a facial recognition payment system at dozens of supermarket chains. Moscow Metro plans to implement contactless fare payment using facial recognition technology at all metro stations. The city is welcoming facial recognition technology more than ever.   

The new thing always comes with controversy and what we should do is to try our best to overcome difficulties and solve questions. With the mission of creating a colorful future life, Telpo developed a series of facial-payment devices that in line with the GDPR framework to protect people's face information.
