20 13 July, Finnish startup Uniqul launched the first payment platform based on facial recognition system in history. Uniqul said that this technology has been patented, which can greatly shorten the payment time and is protected by "military-level algorithms". User registration of Uniqul's "Brush Face" payment system has started, and it will be deployed in Helsinki, Finland at first. The "Brush Face" system is currently being tested in Helsinki, Finland. For businesses that install Uniqul, the company initially plans to provide terminal equipment free of charge.

Uniquel has started to register the "brush face" payment system. Users can register through any payment system, from traditional bank cards to Paypal or Square accounts, and can associate their own Uniquel accounts. Uniqul said in a statement: "This is an ideal package for office workers who want to buy daily necessities near their homes and lunch at their workplaces." On 20 13, the Intelligent Multimedia Technology Research Center of Chongqing Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences began to study this payment method. Zhou Xi, director of the center, said that by August 20 14, the center had completed the research on key technologies of the face recognition payment system. The center is the world's first face data acquisition array, which can simultaneously collect faces from 9 1 angle, and can achieve the best recognition effect in changeable illumination, multi-angle and occlusion state, which have the greatest influence on face recognition. The face recognition system of Intelligent Multimedia Technology Research Center has been applied to the automatic customs clearance system of border inspection station, dynamic face recognition attendance machine, multi-attribute dynamic face recognition system and so on. On this basis, the center has developed a face recognition mobile payment system, which has been able to realize simple "face card" payment.
