VerfiX Chip · MVP Prototype

Match-on-Chip biometric verification for the ATM.

VerfiX Chip runs face, voice, and document verification inside the VerfiX-Chip Securing Element on the ATM itself. No card. No PIN. No cloud. Biometric data never leaves the device — Swiss-engineered secure silicon with on-device AI.

Why it matters

Swiss sovereign identity & payment infrastructure

A secure, sovereign alternative to cloud-dependent, non-European payment and verification systems — keeping critical financial infrastructure and citizen data inside Switzerland.

Sovereignty

Independent Swiss infrastructure. No reliance on non-European providers for critical verification.

Security

World-class anti-spoofing — face & voice liveness, deepfake detection — stops fraud at the source.

Compliance

Built to align with nFADP & GDPR — data protection by design & default (Art. 25).

Cost reduction

Cardless, biometric verification reduces dependency on interchange-fee networks.

The shift

Legacy ATM verification vs. VerfiX integrated ATM

Today: Legacy ATM

Cloud-dependent · PIN-based · high risk
  • Cloud dependent — biometric data sent to cloud increases risk and violates banking security policies.
  • PIN-based — PINs can be stolen, shared, shoulder-surfed, or brute-forced.
  • Fraud persists — card cloning, PIN theft, skimming, and social engineering continue.
  • High cost, low value — operational costs stay high while fraud losses and chargebacks persist.

Tomorrow: VerfiX ATM

On-premise · on-chip · secure by design
  • On-premise, on-chip — biometric data never leaves the ATM. Verification happens on the VerfiX chip.
  • Built for Swiss banks — aligned with nFADP & GDPR, data protection by design & default.
  • Stronger security — biometric + liveness detection stops fraud at the source. No PIN, no sharing, no cloning.
  • Higher ROI — lower fraud losses, reduced operational costs, higher customer trust and loyalty.
The MVP

From idea to reality — how the MVP works

A real ATM, a new concept of card, and a Swiss-made, privacy-first verification — orchestrated end to end on the device.

All processing happens on the device. Biometric data never leaves the ATM or the bank's internal network.
Multi-modal fusion

5-sense biometric fusion — on a single chip

VerfiX combines hard traits (fingerprint, vein, iris) with soft traits (face, voice) into one decision — all matched on-chip.

New concept of card

The VerfiX card — one secure chip, no raw data

Identity is bound to a single EAL6+ secure element that stores a verified biometric template — never raw biometrics. Carried as a partner bank card, or in the VerfiX mobile wallet.
