## PayMore's Prepaid Cards and Biometric Plans

[PayMore](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/000d6wg/paymore) said the app gives GCC users prepaid virtual cards for online shopping, subscriptions, streaming, gaming and other digital services. Cards are issued by a licensed partner, and PayMore is the technology platform and does not hold user funds. The app is built for GCC users with a full Arabic and English experience, and prepaid cards let users load what they plan to spend and keep their main card details private online.

With the biometric launch, PayMore said it is set to become one of the first consumer apps in the GCC to offer both palm and iris payment in a single app. Users will be able to approve payments with their palm or their eyes instead of typing card numbers, passwords or one-time codes. The technology is ready, built through PayMore's partnerships with its technology partners, and PayMore is running pilots with financial institutions and payment companies that rely on PayMore's systems and data. The biometrics will be optional, and users can continue to pay the usual way.

"Paying online in the GCC should be as simple as who you are. With palm and iris payment, our users won't need to remember a password or reach for a card; their hand or a glance will be enough. We're proud to be on track to be among the first in the GCC to bring this to consumers, and we're building it in Arabic and English from day one," said Ali Almosa, Founder and CEO of PayMore.
