JPMorgan Chase & Co. is planning to test new technology that would let consumers pay with their palms or faces at certain US merchants.

The bank, home to one of the world’s biggest payment-processing businesses, plans to roll out the service to its broader base of US merchant clients if the pilot program goes well, according to a statement Thursday. The pilot may include a Formula 1 race in Miami as well as some brick-and-mortar stores.
