THE FACE OF COMMERCE: When your identity becomes your wallet
Jun 11, 2025, Biometric Update - Matt Marino
"Forecasts predict 3.5 billion people – nearly half the planet – will join the 'pay-by-me' club by 2030, driving $11.3 billion in revenue for biometric suppliers.
"Plastic isn’t dying of old age; it’s getting out-innovated.
"Physical cards are on their farewell tour. For retailers, banks, and fintech startups, the encore belongs to biometric payments that make loyalty invisible and fraud obsolete."

The face of commerce: When your identity becomes your wallet | Biometric Update The convergence of biometrics, loyalty, and payments isn’t futuristic vaporware; it’s already opening cash drawers at QSRs, hotels, and stadiums.

------------------------------------------
Bless her on her passage home, Lord!
Connie and I date back to the mid-'70s together when she wrote her first book, "Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow." I was, at the time, research director for the Southwest Radio Church in Oklahoma. We did numerous interviews with her, including public speaking events. She and I reconnected in 1987 when she called me on the phone while finishing her second book (shown here). The night before the call, she had read my manuscript on the Club of Rome (1981) and asked permission to print it in the Appendix of that book (also pictured). She came to Houston with Dave Hunt and we spent several days together, speaking at several meetings, growing close as friends. Interestingly, just last week (June 1, 2025), I messaged her to find out how she was doing.
Lord, she was one dynamic woman and servant. I bless her and her family with all my heart. Thank You Lord for bringing us together in those days.
