Why PALMA

Your customers can pay with just their palm.

Give your customers a faster way to pay. PALMA lets customers authenticate their payment with their palm while regulated payment infrastructure handles authorization and settlement.

Security is the product.

Geofenced terminals

Each terminal is tied to a 200-meter home fence. Off-site for more than 15 minutes and payments lock automatically.

Two-factor where it matters

Authenticator-app 2FA is optional for all merchant users and recommended for Owners.

Sessions that expire

Idle sessions time out after 15 minutes — conservative, because this is a financial portal.

PINs stay hidden

Transaction PINs, bank account numbers and KYB documents are never logged client-side in plaintext.

Server-side enforcement

Role checks run on every API call, not just in the interface.

Decimal money math

All financial figures use decimal arithmetic, never floating point.

Audit trail that lasts

Immutable staff audit logs retained for a minimum of 7 years.

Build PALMA into your checkout.

Merchants and payment partners integrate PALMA into existing commerce through APIs, SDKs and terminal infrastructure.
