HANDGO USE CASE

Technology that removes everyday friction

The world's most exclusive venues have always understood: true membership is about belonging, not credentials. Yet members still fumble for cards at the door. Still wait while staff verify status. Still carry wallets into spaces designed for escape.

HandGO transforms membership from something you carry into something you are. Your palm becomes your access, your account, your recognition across every club, locker, and private experience.

Problems we solve

VIP status that depends on staff memory, not systems

New staff unable to recognize members without credential checks

Membership cards that get lost, forgotten, or shared

Multiple cards for multiple clubs golf, yacht, social, fitness

Wine lockers and private storage requiring physical keys

Phone-free venues that still require wallets for payment

PROVEN SECURITY

Always under your control

Facial recognition is surveillance technology—your face can be scanned without consent, from any camera, at any distance. For a private members’ club built on discretion, this is unacceptable.

Palm vein operates differently. Identification happens only when you choose: a deliberate gesture, never passive capture. Your vein pattern is internal, invisible to any camera. It cannot be photographed across a room or stolen from a database.

For venues whose entire value rests on privacy, this distinction is everything.
