Preference for biometric payments in Ireland in 2022, by age and gender
The preference of Irish Gen Z to use biometric authentication for payments over other options available to them was the same as that for Millennials. This is according to a survey held among consumers ages 18 to 75 - with "Gen Z" here being defined as the age group 18 to 24 years old. The source claims the use of biometric payment is "on the horizon", although it does not specify which type of biometric authentication it refers to here. "Biometric payments" is a term that captures any POS payment performed using a person's physical traits. This can include iris scanning or speech recognition, but often refers to facial recognition and fingerprint scanning.
