PAX and Wink Enable Enterprise Merchants to Design Their Own Biometric Enrollment and Checkout

Wink face and palm checkout is now integrated into PAX PxRetailer and PxDesigner. It’s fully customizable and ready today on every camera-enabled PAX device.

PLANO, Texas and JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Oct. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — PAX Technology, Inc., one of the world’s largest payment terminal providers, and Wink, the multimodal biometric identity and payments platform, today announced a deeper integration of Wink biometric checkout into PAX PxRetailer, the application designed for enterprise and multilane environments, and PxDesigner, the customization and design tool for retailers and solution providers to customize what appears on the payment device and how the customer interacts with it. Enterprise brands in quick service, hospitality, retail, and entertainment can now design every screen of face and palm checkout, from first enrollment to final confirmation, and deploy it on every camera-enabled PAX device, including the revolutionary PCI 7 Retail PIN pads, A360 and A380, through PAX, with no separate biometrics integration to build.

Most in-store payments are anonymous. A card is tapped, a sale is made, and the customer walks out a stranger. Biometrics can change that, but enterprise brands have had to choose between a vendor’s off-the-shelf screens at the most visible moment of the visit and a custom integration project for every lane type. With Wink fully integrated and available in PxRetailer and PxDesigner, the brand designs the experience, and PAX delivers it to the devices already at the counter.

“Today, the merchant sells to a card, not a customer,” said Matt Marino, President, WinkPay, “With Wink, the anonymous cardholder becomes a known customer, with no card, phone, app or manual data entry needed at the counter. Merchants get faster lanes and greater loyalty. Customers receive a faster, more personalized experience. They’re known by who they are, not just the cards in their wallet.”

Designed by the brand. Down to the last screen.

Enterprise brands don’t have to live with pre-designed off the shelf experiences. Their teams now design enrollment, recognition and confirmation in the same PAX tools they already use. Their logo, colors, prompts, offers and rules carry through every step, and they can go from design to live in a matter of weeks.

Brands also decide where recognition sits in the flow and which modality fits each lane: face at self-checkout, palm at the counter. And every screen can do more than take payment. And they can build new VIP, check-in and lane busting experiences that take advantage of the power of biometrics.

“Our enterprise customers expect to control every screen of their customer engagement and they don’t want to take on another integration to get biometrics,” said Rob Orolfo, Senior Vice President North America Enterprise Sales at PAX Technology, Inc. “With Wink integrated into our PxStudio platform, biometric enrollment and checkout come integrated through PAX, on hardware they already trust. The payment terminal is already the one device every customer touches. Now it can recognize the customer, so loyalty applies without an app, and a returning customer’s preferences are ready before they reach the counter.”

One enrollment, every location

A customer enrolls once, through the merchant’s website or app, and can then be recognized on any camera-enabled PAX devices across the merchant’s locations. Checkins or Checkout takes a glance or a raised palm. Real-time liveness detection confirms a real, present person, rather than a photo or mask. And transactions still run through the merchant’s existing payment application and acquirer, so nothing changes downstream.

Made for every enterprise floor

Quick service. A regular’s usual order is ready to confirm the moment they step up. Counter and drive-thru lines keep moving.Hospitality. A guest enrolls online. They check-in, pay at the bar, restaurant, and spa with a glance. No card or room key to hand over.Retail. Loyalty members are recognized at every lane. Rewards and offers apply before the total.Entertainment and venues. Season-ticket holders are recognized at concessions and club entrances. Age-verified guests skip the ID check at the bar.

Ready on every camera-enabled PAX device

Wink is ready today on every PAX device with a camera. That’s 110 million devices in 120 countries, including the A920Pro and the new PAX A360, an enterprise-grade Android PIN pad with Android 14, PCI PTS 7 certification, and a 6-inch customer-facing display.

Privacy, built in

Enrollment is opt-in, and the customer sees one brand: the merchant’s. Wink stores biometric templates as encrypted tokens, never alongside card data. The platform runs on PCI DSS Level 1 and SOC 2 compliant infrastructure with NIST top-ranking algorithms.

The partnership brings Egnyte’s secure content platform and Mili’s AI agents together, so advice firms can deliver more comprehensive, personalized advice at scale.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Mili, an AI platform for wealth management firms, and Egnyte, a leader in secure content collaboration, intelligence, and governance, today announced a partnership that brings Mili’s AI agents to client documents in Egnyte. Advisors work from a file or a whole client folder alongside data from the firm’s CRM, portfolio and planning systems, under each advisor’s Egnyte permissions.

Kitces Research finds that reviewing client documents is the most common way advisors use AI. Its productivity research puts a new financial plan at 15 to 40 hours of team time.

Advisors use Mili’s agents to model the tax cost of moving a client’s accounts into the firm’s strategy, weigh a rebalance against unrealized gains, summarize a bonus agreement and build a financial snapshot from a statement. The agents link answers to their sources and flag what an analysis may still need.

David Ringler, Managing Director at Onyx Bridge Wealth Group ($1.6B+ AUM), said, “Egnyte and Mili are two valuable pieces of technology in our stack, and bringing them together has changed how our practice runs. Mili’s meeting prep and planning agents have become significantly better with Egnyte data behind them.”

Chirag Gandhi, Co-Founder and CEO of Mili, said, “How many clients an advice firm can serve well has long been capped. It is set by the work of understanding each client’s financial life. Agentic AI is changing that, helping advice firms uplift client capacity by accelerating the delivery of high-quality advice.”

Kyle Blair, Director of Global Financial Services at Egnyte, said, “Egnyte helps financial services firms accelerate critical business operations by turning document-heavy tasks into faster, connected, and revenue-generating workflows. Our partnership enables Mili’s AI agents to securely access and work on customer data within Egnyte for better business outcomes.”

The integration is live for mutual customers. Building on Mili’s work with hundreds of advice firms, it aims to put a firm’s full client knowledge into its advice.

About Egnyte

Egnyte is a leader in secure content collaboration, intelligence, and governance, trusted by more than 23,000 customers to increase employee productivity, drive operational efficiencies, and secure mission-critical content. Egnyte’s AI-powered platform empowers organizations to create, share, and protect their information at scale, with specialized solutions designed to meet the unique needs of organizations in architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC), financial services, life sciences, and other industries.
