PayByFace is a verifiable fintech startup offering biometric payment solutions, with confirmed partnerships (Visa, Raiffeisen, SafexPay) and pilots in Europe and Asia. However, the submission itself contains significant red flags, including demonstrably false claims of reach ('most people have used my product') and exaggerated team size (claimed 125 vs. verified ~13). While the technology is innovative and market-relevant, the score is heavily constrained by the lack of mass adoption and the low integrity of the provided data.
