VerfiX
Swiss Identity & Payment Infrastructure

The European identity & payment infrastructure of the future.

Swiss-made, privacy-first verification that runs on-premise and on-chip — so sensitive biometric data never leaves the device.

The problem

Europe's identity & payment rails are fragmented and dependent.

Banks stitch together many vendors, per market — creating gaps, cost, and compliance risk at every seam.

Fragmented

A different vendor and API for identity, AML, KYB and fraud — in every country.

Non-European

Core payment & verification rails sit outside Europe — a sovereignty risk.

Privacy-exposed

Most biometric checks ship sensitive data to external clouds.

Costly

Interchange and per-check fees stack up; every market is a new integration.

VerfiX · 02The problem
The solution

One Swiss-made platform — on-premise and on-chip.

VerfiX unifies identity, business, AML and fraud behind a single trust layer — deployed where your data must stay.

On-premise

Verification runs inside the bank's own environment — data stays in Switzerland.

On-chip

Face & voice templates are matched on a secure element; raw biometrics never leave the device.

API-first

KYC, KYB, AML, Gateway and SDK behind one orchestration layer and one integration.

VerfiX · 03The solution
Why now

Regulation is forcing a once-in-a-decade reset.

eIDAS 2.0

The EU mandates a European Digital Identity Wallet for every member state — rolling out toward 2026.

Swiss nFADP

Switzerland's revised data-protection law (in force Sept 2023) raises the bar on biometric data.

Swiss e-ID Act

Switzerland's federal e-ID law was approved in 2024, with a state-issued e-ID planned.

Sources: EU Regulation 2024/1183 (eIDAS 2.0); Swiss nFADP (in force 1 Sept 2023); Swiss Federal Act on Electronic Identity (2024). Timelines per published government materials.

Flagship MVP

VerfiX Secure Chip — pay with your face and voice.

A Swiss-made secure element that verifies face and voice on the device itself — the foundation for cardless, sovereign, privacy-first payments at the ATM and POS.

  • Authorize a withdrawal or payment with a glance and a phrase — no card, no PIN.
  • Biometric templates are processed and matched on the chip — never sent to a cloud.
  • Swiss data residency and nFADP / GDPR alignment by design.
  • Built for banks, ATMs and POS terminals across regulated industries.
