Clover, the all-in-one commerce solution from Fiserv, has announced a collaboration with Wink, the multimodal biometric identity and payments platform. This integration embeds Wink’s face and palm payments technology, along with advanced identity and intelligence features, directly into the Clover platform, pioneering identity-based payments with improved security and checkout experiences.
The partnership unifies identity, payment, and loyalty on the Clover platform, allowing merchants to deliver personalized, faster checkouts while minimizing fraud and operational complexity. Consumers gain contactless authentication options that comply with payments, data protection, and regulatory standards.
“The future of commerce is the unification of payment and identity,” said Sanjay Saraf, SVP and Global Chief Product Officer, Merchant Solutions at Fiserv. “By embedding Wink’s leading biometric security and intelligence directly into the Clover platform, we’re making cutting-edge technology simple, secure, and accessible for Main Street SMB businesses, helping them to deliver exceptional experiences and unlock new opportunities for growth.”
The solution activates across Clover devices—including Station Duo, Mini, Flex, and Kiosk—without hardware modifications. Merchants benefit from reduced line friction, lower labor dependency, and decreased checkout abandonment through automated loyalty and age-restricted commerce.
Additional advantages include unified in-store, mobile, and online experiences via a single biometric identity, proactive fraud prevention, and seamless enablement for partners.
“Wink’s strategic integration with Clover will bring unparalleled security, speed, and intelligence to every transaction across a large ecosystem of merchants, app developers and partners,” said Deepak Jain, Founder and CEO of Wink. “We are excited to work closely with Fiserv to bring to market many advanced use cases of identity-driven payments that will define the future of connected commerce at scale across retail, hospitality, venues, and stadiums.”
The biometric payment solution will be demonstrated at Fiserv booth #5451 during NRF 2026: Retail's Big Show in New York City, January 11-13, 2026.
This collaboration advances secure, identity-driven commerce, combining Clover's point-of-sale ecosystem with Wink's biometric expertise for enhanced merchant and consumer experiences.
