Almost half of consumers said they would be prepared to pay for goods by using fingerprint, palm print and iris scanners. The survey of more than 2,000 shoppers revealed 49 per cent would prefer a biometric test over other payment options. The study is likely to alarm civil liberties campaigners concerned about the rise of a ‘Big Brother’ society. The survey also asked what shoppers thought of other ways of verifying identity such as smartphone PIN codes, text messages or online wallets – websites that let users store logins, passwords, shipping addresses and credit card details in one place. But they were not as popular as biometrics. Card services firm WorldPay, which commissioned the survey, said the responses were based as much on convenience as security fears.
