Toss announced on May 21 that it will introduce its facial recognition payment service, FacePay, at over 20 major rest areas across the country in partnership with Pulmuone Food & Culture. This marks the first implementation of FacePay at rest areas in South Korea.
The two companies signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on May 20 at Toss headquarters in Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam, Seoul. Key executives from both companies, including Toss Vice President Oh Gyu-in and Pulmuone Food & Culture Vice President Kim Kyung-soon, attended the ceremony.
Under the agreement, FacePay will first be implemented at the Gyeonggi Gwangju Rest Area (toward Gwangju) before expanding to more than 20 additional locations.
Toss will install its payment terminals, known as Toss Front, at open stores in the rest areas, while existing kiosks will be equipped with the Toss Front Cam, which enables facial recognition. Users will be able to make payments using only facial recognition, without the need for a card or mobile phone.
A Toss representative stated, "FacePay is expanding its application in various offline environments where quick payments are needed. We will continue to collaborate to provide a more natural and convenient payment experience in high-traffic areas like rest stops."
