Ovum MWC comments: PayPal and Samsung embrace biometrics for m-payment authentication

(PresseBox) (London, )
PayPal and Samsung have extended their collaboration with a new biometric feature that will allow users of the new Galaxy S5 smartphone to use fingerprint authentication for mobile payments with PayPal merchants.
