J.P. Morgan Payments has launched two proprietary point-of-sale terminals: the Paypad and Pinpad, according to a company press release. These terminals are designed to accept a variety of payment methods, including chip, contactless, swipe, QR code and biometric authentication.

Key features of the new terminals include:

• Biometric authentication: Equipped with infrared palm vein and face recognition cameras for secure in-store biometric payments.
• Omnichannel integration: Complements J.P. Morgan Payments' full-stack omnichannel payments solution.
• Availability: Expected to be available in the U.S. in the second half of 2025, with international expansion planned.

This launch follows J.P. Morgan Payments' expansion of its partnership with PopID to deploy in-store biometric payments to pilot merchants, including Whataburger. The company has also successfully implemented biometric payments at the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix.
