Palm ID technology for seamless services showcased at ICPs stand at Gitex Global 2024

The Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP), working with the Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates, is developing "palm ID" technology, a way to deliver faster, more seamless services using the palm of the hand that will be connected to organisations in the public and private sectors.

The solution is a part of the UAE Vision 2031 initiative and is presently in the trial-and-development stage. It will be on display at the ICP pavilion at Gitex Global 2024.

In an effort to improve citizens' and residents' quality of life, UAE organisations have been making significant investments in the creation of innovative technologies and solutions. Palm vein technology is thought to be less obtrusive than face recognition. People can use their Emirates ID card or other alternative means to register their palm biometrics with ICP.
