How it works

From sign-up to a scan at the till

Four steps — every one of them already live in this portal.

  1. Create your account

    Sign up with your phone number. Your wallet is created in the same step.

  2. Enrol your biometrics

    Scan a fingerprint or face once. It is encrypted and bound to your account only.

  3. Top up your wallet

    Add funds through a PhaJay payment link and watch the balance update in real time.

  4. Pay with a scan

    Confirm everyday purchases at the terminal with your own biometrics — a PIN only steps in for extra verification.

Enrol your biometrics

One scan binds a fingerprint or face template to your account — encrypted, and never stored as an image.

Stay in control

Turn biometric payments on or off per type, set a PIN, and sign out of every device at once.

Lao and English

Switch languages anytime — every screen, message and error is translated both ways.

Full transaction history

Every top-up and payment, filterable and paginated, with the reference you need for support.

PIN for extra verification

Set a 6-digit PIN as a second factor on the transactions that call for one.

Security

Your data, protected by design

Biometric payments only work if the templates behind them are handled with care. Here is exactly how yours are.

  • Only the extracted vector is stored — never a photograph or a raw scan
  • The vector is encrypted before it is written to the database
  • One template can belong to one account only; a duplicate is rejected
  • Deleting a template is permanent, not a hidden flag — you would have to enrol again
  • A 6-digit PIN adds a second factor on transactions that need extra verification
  • Sign out of every device at once if you ever lose access to one

FAQ

Common questions

If it's not here, the answer is the same one the portal itself gives you once you're signed in.

My top-up says PENDING — where is my money?

Money lands in your wallet only once PhaJay sends back a correctly signed confirmation. Until then the transaction stays PENDING and no money has left your account.

Can I turn off biometric payments temporarily?

Yes — turning a biometric type off blocks it at checkout without deleting the enrolled template, so you can turn it back on anytime.

What happens if I scan the same biometric type again?

Re-enrolling replaces the old template for that type. It never creates a duplicate.

Is my phone number visible to anyone?

The portal shows a masked phone number everywhere in the interface, and sign-in only ever asks for the digits after the country code.

I lost access to a device — what now?

Sign out everywhere from Security settings. It revokes every token issued before that moment; this device gets a fresh one and stays signed in.

Ready to pay with a scan?
