At the end of November, South Korea-based convenience chain GS25 announced installation of facial payment Facepay into 25 of its 80 stores, before extending the service to the whole chain. Facepay has been developed by Wee Digital, a digital identity technology startup.
The installation of Facepay is part of GS25âs strategy to scale up its presence to open about 500 more stores by 2025, increasing its competitiveness with other convenience store operators in the country.
Both the founder of Wee Digital, Christian Nguyen, and Mai Thuy Nhan, CEO of GS25 Vietnam, believe that the payment technology of Wee Digital will bring an interesting experience for customers, especially young ones who use e-wallets such as ZaloPay, VNPAY, or MoMo.
