Visa is rapidly expanding biometric payment passkeys — replacing passwords and OTPs with fingerprint and facial authentication — across Asia Pacific, India, and Europe, including the first live AI-agent-driven payment transaction in Germany. This globalisation of biometric-linked financial identity infrastructure represents a critical step toward a unified, body-authenticated commerce system, fulfilling the biblical framework of a world where buying and selling is controlled through personal biological markers. Revelation 13:16-17 warns of a coming system where no one can buy or sell without a mark tied to identity, and today's architecture of biometric authentication layered onto global payment rails is building exactly that foundation.
