Read answerGeneral questions
Basic answers about what Facinos is and how it is used.
What is Facinos?
Facinos is a user-approved payment and access experience that can help people pay, enter, travel, check in, or access services without relying only on cards, tickets, QR codes, or cash.
Is Facinos only for payments?
No. Facinos can support both payment and access. It can be used for checkout, gate entry, transport boarding, event access, hotel services, gym entry, campus access, parking, and more.
Is Facinos the same for every business?
The core idea is the same, but each business can use it differently. A restaurant may use it for payment confirmation, while a transport operator may use it for boarding or fare access.
Does Facinos replace all other payment methods?
No. Facinos should support alternative payment or access methods where available, such as cards, QR, app payment, tickets, staff support, or cash where supported.
Do users need to approve Facinos?
Yes. Facinos should be based on user consent. Users should understand what they are enabling and where Facinos can work.
Can Facinos be used for access without payment?
Yes. In some places, Facinos may be used only for access, such as gym entry, campus entry, hotel breakfast, workplace access, or event admission.
Can Facinos be used for payment without access?
Yes. Restaurants, cafés, retail stores, pharmacies, and kiosks can use Facinos for payment confirmation without controlling entry.
What makes Facinos different from QR codes?
QR codes require the user to open or scan something. Facinos is designed to reduce friction while still keeping consent, permission, confirmation, and receipts visible.
How is Facinos offered to businesses and users?
Facinos is the user-approved face payment and access platform that can plug into transport, retail, venues, hospitality, campuses, parking, and more.
Is Facinos a bank, wallet, or card network?
Facinos is an approval and experience layer for payment and access. It is designed to work with approved payment sources, passes, memberships, or business rules that each partner configures.
Where can I read how the journey works end-to-end?
Start with the How it works page (/how-it-works) for the six-step user journey, then explore industry pages like Metro & Transport, Restaurants & Cafés, Events & Venues, Retail & Pharmacy, Hotels & Hospitality, Gym & Fitness, and Parking & Facilities.
Does Facinos work the same in every country?
Availability, regulations, and partner integrations depend on region and business. The product should follow local requirements for identity, payments, and privacy wherever it launches.
What industries does this marketing site cover?
The site highlights major verticals: metro and mobility, events and venues, restaurants and cafés, retail and pharmacy, hotels and hospitality, gym and fitness, and parking or controlled facilities, plus security and business-facing onboarding paths.
Is Facinos only for consumers?
No. Consumers enable Facinos and manage permissions, while businesses and operators configure devices, lanes, roles, reporting, and fallback experiences. Both sides are part of the same consent-based model.
Customer questions
Answers for people who want to use Facinos personally.
How does a customer use Facinos?
A customer enables Facinos, chooses where it can work, connects a supported payment method or pass, then uses Facinos at approved businesses or access points.
Can I choose where Facinos works?
Yes. Users should be able to enable Facinos for specific categories such as transport, restaurants, events, hotels, gyms, retail, campus, or parking.
Can I turn Facinos off?
Yes. Facinos should include a clear way to disable it without closing the entire account.
Will I receive a receipt?
For payments, users should receive a digital receipt. For access events, users may receive an access confirmation depending on the business type.
Can I use Facinos if I do not want to use it everywhere?
Yes. Facinos should be permission-based, so users can choose where it is active and where it is not.
What if I am not recognized?
The business should provide a fallback option, such as card, QR, app payment, ticket, staff support, or cash where supported.
Can I still use my card or ticket?
Where supported, alternative methods should remain available so users are not forced to use Facinos.
Can I review my Facinos activity?
Users should be able to see receipts or confirmations showing where Facinos was used, when it happened, and what was approved.
Can I change my payment method?
In a full product experience, users should be able to manage payment methods such as wallet, card, pass, membership balance, or other supported methods.
Do I need to carry a physical ticket if I use Facinos at an event?
Where Facinos is accepted for ticket validation, the digital entitlement should be tied to your approved profile. You should still follow venue rules and keep any backup confirmation the organizer requires.
Can Facinos speed up busy queues?
Yes, that is a core design goal: fewer taps, scans, and handoffs at gates, counters, and exits—while keeping approvals and receipts visible.
Will I always know what I approved?
Facinos should present clear context before payment and show confirmations or receipts afterward. If something looks unclear, pause and use a fallback method or ask staff.
Can I use Facinos with glasses, masks, or changed appearance?
Real-world recognition depends on lighting, device quality, policy, and vendor configuration. If recognition fails, supported businesses should offer alternative entry or payment paths.
What should I do before traveling or parking with Facinos?
Confirm transport or parking permissions are enabled, your pass or payment source is valid, and you understand any peak pricing or zone rules shown by the operator.
Is there a guest or family mode?
Some businesses may support guest passes or linked profiles. Availability depends on the operator. Check the venue or merchant’s Facinos explanation before arrival.

How are disputes handled?
Customers should use their receipt and contact the business or platform support channel. Businesses use audit trails and receipt metadata to investigate.

Yes. Facinos can support metro gates, bus boarding, shuttles, trams, ferries, airport transfers, and fare access where the user has approved transport use.

Receipts and records
Answers about digital receipts, confirmations, and activity history.

Can I export or share a receipt?
Consumer apps typically let you review history; export or share features depend on the product build. Use the same controls you use for other financial records.
How long are records kept?
Retention depends on legal, fraud, and business requirements. Operators should publish clear retention guidance as part of their privacy and security disclosures.
Security and privacy
Answers about consent, privacy, biometric concerns, and user control.

No. Facinos should be optional, and supported alternatives should remain available where possible.
Is Facinos surveillance?
No. Facinos should be designed as a user-approved payment and access flow, not a general tracking system.

Should Facinos work silently?
No. Facinos should be clear, permission-based, and tied to visible payment or access actions.

Does Facinos show receipts?

Where should users learn more about security?

What if I lose my device?
Secure your account with lock screens, recovery options, and whatever additional factors the app supports. Disable Facinos remotely if the product offers that control.
Does Facinos work when I am offline?
Lanes and devices may cache limited approvals, but most validations require connectivity. When offline, use fallback methods the business provides.
Are there age restrictions?
Regulated flows such as payments may require users to meet minimum age or guardian consent rules in their region. Businesses must enforce whatever local law requires.
Account, app, and dashboards
Using Facinos as a person: profiles, permissions, onboarding routes, and consumer tools on this site.
How do I get started with Facinos?
Download the Facinos app when available, create an account, complete any required verification, enable Facinos with clear consent, connect a payment source if you will pay with Facinos, and choose which categories are active.
Where is the consumer Facinos hub on this website?
Use the Consumer area (/consumer) for wallet, receipts, permissions, profile, tickets & access, security, Facinos settings, and support entry points showcased in this demo experience.
Can I manage permissions separately for transport, retail, or hotels?
Yes. Permission models should let you toggle categories or partners so Facinos is never broader than you intend.
What is onboarding/select-use-case for?
That flow helps a new user pick an initial scenario—metro, events, retail, restaurants, hotels, or broader access—so guided setup matches how you plan to use Facinos first.
Where do businesses go after marketing pages?
The Businesses hub (/businesses) links to industry stories, security, FAQ, and role dashboards such as metro, event, retail, finance, access, and parking experiences in this product shell.
Can I delete my account?
Account deletion or export should be available in line with privacy law. Use in-app settings or support when those controls roll out in production.
How do I contact support?
Visit /contact for business inquiries. Consumer support surfaces are linked from the consumer dashboard pages (for example /consumer/support) in this demo.
Troubleshooting
Answers for common issues and fallback situations.
Facinos did not recognize me. What should I do?
Use an alternative method where supported or ask staff for assistance. The product should provide a fallback flow.
My payment failed. What happened?
Payment may fail because the payment method is unavailable, the amount was not confirmed, the permission is off, or another issue occurred.
Access was denied. Why?
Access may be denied because the category is disabled, the ticket or pass is invalid, the user is in the wrong zone, or staff support is needed.
I was charged incorrectly. What should I do?
Use the receipt or transaction reference to contact support or the business where the payment happened.
I do not see my receipt. What should I do?
Check the receipt or activity area if available. If it is missing, contact support with the date, location, and amount.
Can staff help if Facinos fails?
Yes. Businesses should have fallback and staff support flows for failed recognition, failed payment, or denied access.
What if my phone is unavailable?
Where supported, Facinos may not require the phone at the moment of use, but account management, receipts, and security controls may still depend on user account access.
What if I want to stop using Facinos?
Users should be able to disable Facinos and use alternative payment or access methods where supported.
What if a business does not support Facinos?
Use the payment or access methods that business supports.
The gate opened but my receipt is delayed. Is that normal?
Receipt generation can lag seconds during peak load. Wait for the app notification, refresh activity, and if nothing arrives, contact support with the time and station.
Why am I asked to verify again?
Risk engines, high-value purchases, regulatory rules, or travel across borders can trigger step-up verification. Complete the prompts or use a fallback lane.
Can lighting or weather affect Facinos?
Outdoor extremes, glare, rain covers, or helmet visors can challenge cameras. Operators should maintain redundancy, staff assist, and manual overrides.
Still need help?
If your question is about a payment, access event, receipt, or business setup, keep the location, time, and any receipt reference available.
Facinos is built around control
Facinos should only work where users approve it. Users can choose where Facinos is active, receive receipts or confirmations, and use alternative methods where supported.
