Why CeletelPay

A payment terminal that sees the real you — not a card, not a phone.

CeletelPay combines palm vein biometrics, contactless NFC, QR codes and EMV in a single Android-powered terminal family. Fast checkouts. Fewer fraud losses. A smoother experience for every customer.

Palm vein biometrics

Under-skin vein patterns are unique, contactless and almost impossible to forge — more secure than fingerprints or faces.

Tap, scan or wave

One terminal handles palm-pay, NFC contactless, QR codes, magstripe and EMV chip — so every shopper has a familiar way to pay.

Built on Android 13

Open Android SDK, offline-first operation, remote device management and OTA updates across your whole fleet.

PCI-PTS & EMV certified

End-to-end tokenised transactions with hardware SE, SRED and point-to-point encryption across every rail.

Modular peripheral stack

Thermal printer, barcode scanner, fingerprint and charging cradle — pick what each use case needs across the terminal family.

Unified merchant cloud

Real-time dashboards, reconciliation, loyalty, and settlement — all through the CeletelPay Merchant Cloud.

How palm payment works

From enrolment to checkout in four simple steps.

1. Enrol

A customer links a payment method to their palm once — at a merchant, kiosk, bank branch or in-app.

2. Wave

At checkout, they hover their palm over the Vega P1 scanner. Near-infrared light reads their vein pattern.

3. Verify

The terminal matches the template against the CeletelPay secure vault in under 300 milliseconds.

4. Pay

Payment settles, loyalty applies, and a printed or digital receipt is ready — all with no card, phone or PIN.
