The business using these Touché insights can create very targeted marketing campaigns to increase repeat business.

The new version of the device will further accept contactless cards through Near Field Communication (NFC) and fingerprints will be supplemented with facial recognition.

Once a customer has registered with Touché, he or she can pay and receive benefits biometrically around the world wherever Touché is used.
