What happens when the face of innovation meets the face of compliance? At Money20/20 Asia, the answer unfolded in the powerful joint session “Your Face Becomes Your Wallet: Personalization Meets Security in the Future of Payments.”
This standout event brought together Yee Yun Lim, Founder and CEO of Aye, and James Daniels, Senior Vice President, Asia Pacific at Fime—a global authority in payments compliance, testing, and certification. Together, they unpacked the critical balance between hyper-personalized biometric payment experiences and the regulatory rigor required to earn and maintain consumer trust.
AyeFace, Aye’s AI-driven facial recognition platform, is pushing boundaries by allowing consumers to pay with nothing but their face—removing friction while adding personalization and built-in fraud protection. However in an increasingly scrutinized payments ecosystem, innovation must prove its legitimacy—and that’s where Fime’s expertise comes in.
“Aye follows a strict privacy-first approach in every market we operate in,” says Yee Yun Lim. “On top of that, we’ve implemented anti-spoofing and liveness detection technologies to prevent impersonation through photos or masks.”
The session sparked deep interest from attendees across the fintech ecosystem, prompting a steady stream of conversations that continued long after the panel ended. The Aye booth became a high-traffic hotspot, as visitors sought to dive deeper into the themes of compliance, personalization, and the future of biometric payments.
For Aye, the future of payments is not just faster—it’s smarter, safer, and more human. For Fime, validating that future means bringing rigor to every innovation on the path to real-world adoption. Together, this session shows how collaboration between disruptors and regulators can create a more inclusive, secure, and innovative financial future.
