A Swedish student has reportedly figured an interesting way to pay off bills by using a palm scanner called Quixter that reads the unique pattern of blood vessels in one's hand.

According to Cnet, students have to enter last four digits of their mobile number and then place their palm on a reader to scan the unique pattern of blood vessels in their hand.

Fredrik Leifland an engineering student at Lund University in Sweden is the designer of Quixter.

There are now 15 stores and restraints using the palm scanner to let its 1600 users pay their bills.
