In the new financial services marketplace innovation, agility, immediacy and technology-driven hi-touch responsiveness are transforming consumer expectations.

In the new financial services marketplace innovation, agility, immediacy and technology-driven hi-touch responsiveness are transforming consumer expectations.
Financial service organizations face three fundamental authentication challenges:

- How to eliminate unnecessary friction while applying the requisite level of security at each decision point.
- How to improve customer experience and engagement.
- How to create seamless cross channel flow.

As FinTech start-ups craft new approaches, tools, and techniques to address the customer experience challenge, most continue to operate around the edges of the authentication problem. Despite the best efforts of FinTech innovators, frustrating gaps, breaks, and intrusions that stifle digital financial service delivery persist as they continue to rely on passwords and device identification, on OTP (one time passwords) and key fobs. Sadly, these efforts are doomed to fail so long as authentication relies on secret and device-based Approximations of Identity (AOI).


A new “identity-centric” paradigm is needed. One that will unleash the power of FinTech innovation by recognizing an individual - not just a device - on the other end of a request for information, money, credit, or any financial service.


Financial service organizations that do not recognize the limitations of secrets-based authentication schemes will hobble along reduced to second tier status as market innovators pass them by.

Meanwhile, financial service organizations that embrace identity-centric authentication - authentication that does not depend on secrets, tokens, or devices, but on the Unique Verifiable Identity (UVI) of individuals - will be poised to deliver seamless digital services.

Only Cloud-based biometrics can move beyond secrets and device-based Approximations of Identity and deliver Unique Verifiable Identity, seamlessly linking an individual to their digital self.
