As PayPal has always been heavily scrutinized for its security practices, the company is enthusiastically communicates the system's robustness. 

 


"Customers can use their finger to pay with PayPal from their new Samsung Galaxy S5 because the FIDO Ready software on the device securely communicates between the fingerprint sensor on their device and PayPal's service in the cloud. The only information the device shares with PayPal is a unique encrypted key that allows PayPal to verify the identity of the customer without having to store any biometric information on PayPal's servers." - John Lunn, Chief of PayPal X UK.
