Spanish banking group BBVA is testing biometric facial recognition technology at its in-house cafeteria, as it aims to remove friction points and shepherd in "invisible" payments. The system uses technology developed by Veridas, a joint venture between BBVA and Das-Nano, which was launched last year. "We are working with the company that created this technology, so we can have an idea of what they think about it," said Carlos de la Rosa, head of corporate communications for BBVA. BBVA said the next stage of the pilot will blend invisible payments with machine learning and biometric technology for self-service restaurants.

In addition, more than 1,000 bank staff have downloaded an order ahead app, which aims to eliminate queues.
