As Maksim Liksutov noted, payment using the facial recognition system has proven its safety and reliability. Russian payment service is provided with a banking level of protection, all data is encrypted.
Every weekday Muscovites enter public transport using facial recognition more than 160 thousand times, which highlights system’s popularity. The number of passengers using this most convenient payment method continues to grow.
Biometrics is the most convenient fare payment system with the most favorable rates. We continue to develop it on behalf of Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin. By the end of this year, we will connect every Metro and Moscow Central Circle turnstile to biometrics. And to make the system work faster, we will install additional Russian-made equipment in the station lobbies — said Maksim Liksutov.
