About PalmX

At a glance

PalmX, in facts.

Company
A registered fintech company in Pakistan.
Founder
Muhammad Talha Ahmad
What it is
A palm payment app and e-wallet. Customers pay by hovering a hand over a PalmX reader; the same balance also pays by QR, online by virtual card, and sends to any bank or wallet in Pakistan via Raast.
Where
Based in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. Built for Pakistan, opening location by location.
Launch
The first PalmX locations go live on 30 November 2026; the waitlist is open now.

Regulation
Funds are held with OPay and regulated by the State Bank of Pakistan. PalmX is a technology product on that infrastructure and does not hold customer balances itself.
Biometric data
No image of a hand is stored. The scan is encrypted at read time and reduced to a numeric token — a palm signature — custodied by the payments partner like card data.
