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

Different models, different rails — palm-pay on Vega P1, NFC and EMV chip on Nova N3 and Orion T8, QR across the whole range and magstripe on Nova N3 and Lyra Q2. Pick the terminal that fits each counter.

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.
