Visa brings face payments and animated digital cards to World Cup

With more than one million fans expected to travel for the tournament, Visa has installed 5300 contactless-enabled payment terminals at official venues.

It is also working with Qatar National Bank and POP ID to let customers authenticate their payments with their faces at a handful of coffee shops.

Meanwhile, some cardholders in Doha will be able to scan a QR code to get instantly issued a digital prepaid card featuring animated art of the tournament’s official mascot La’eeb.

Visa is also working with local banks to help SMBs accept contactless payments via NFC-enabled Android devices and is also bringing tap-to-pay to taxis
