The phone-to-phone payment network

Your palm is
the wallet.
Any phone is the
terminal.

PalmPay turns a scan of your hand into a secure, rotating payment code. No cards. No cash. No extra hardware — just two phones and a tap.

Payments, reimagined around the oldest identity you own.

Everything a card machine does — except there is no card, and no machine.

✋

Biometric palm signature

On enrollment, your phone maps 21 structural landmarks of your hand and compresses them into a SHA-256 master hash. Your biometric data never leaves your device — only the hash does.

⚡

Rotating codes

A new code every 60 seconds. Screenshot fraud is dead on arrival.

📱

Zero hardware

The merchant's phone is the POS. The customer's phone is the card.

🏦

Direct bank settlement

Funds settle straight into merchant bank accounts via Paystack subaccounts — automated, batched, and reconciled.

🔒

Tokenized everything

Card numbers are vaulted by Paystack and replaced with authorization tokens. Your servers never touch PAN data — keeping you out of PCI-DSS scope and hackers out of your database.

How it works

Three steps. Two phones. One handshake.

01

Scan once, enroll forever

Hold your palm to your front camera. The app extracts your hand's unique geometry, hashes it on-device, and links your funding card through Paystack's secure vault.

02

Show your code

At checkout, your app renders a live Code 128 barcode fused from your palm hash and the current time window. It rotates every 60 seconds and dies the moment it's used.

03

Merchant scans, money moves

The merchant types the amount and scans your code with their phone. Our backend validates the token, charges the vaulted card, and splits the settlement — all in under two seconds.

Security

Built paranoid, so merchants don't have to be.

We treat a photo of your barcode like a stolen card — because that's exactly what it is.

Leave the card machine
in 2025.

Join the network where your customers pay with their hands and your payouts land themselves.
