Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) announced that its palm-scanning technology is expanding to 65 Whole Foods locations across California; services were introduced in 2020 as part of the Amazon One payment service.
Being the biggest rollout by the company, first new Whole Foods locations will be adding support today in Malibu, Montana Avenue, and Santa Monica.

Customers can set up Amazon One by registering their palm print using a kiosk or at a point-of-sale station at participating stores.
Amazon One is designed to identify you accurately and allow you to pay at Amazon-owned stores, but the company is looking to expand the technology to outside businesses as well.
The company states that the images taken on the kiosk arenât stored locally; instead, they are encrypted and then sent to a cloud server that is dedicated to Amazon One, where an identifiable palm signature is generated.
