It requires a one-time registration for customers to add credit cards, loyalty/membership cards and link to their fingerprints.

Under the collaboration, Touché will provide its service to all OCBC card acceptance merchants operating through physical stores.

As the solution accepts both standard card and fingerprint-based payments, it eliminates the requirement for different acceptance devices.

It also eliminates paper use as transactions are electronically recorded and receipts are sent through e-mail.
