The European identity & payment infrastructure of the future.
VerfiX is building Swiss-made, privacy-first identity verification that runs on-premise and on-chip — so sensitive biometric data never leaves the device. We are early-stage, building toward our first bank pilots.

Europe's identity and payment rails are fragmented and dependent.
Fragmented
Banks integrate many verification vendors per market, each with its own API, contract and data model.
Non-European
Core payment and verification infrastructure is largely controlled outside Europe, raising sovereignty concerns.
Privacy-exposed
Most biometric checks send sensitive data to external clouds — a growing tension with nFADP and GDPR.
Costly
Interchange and per-check fees stack up, and every new market means another integration.
One Swiss-made platform — on-premise and on-chip.
Regulation is forcing a once-in-a-decade reset.
eIDAS 2.0
The EU framework mandates member states to offer a European Digital Identity Wallet — adoption is rolling out toward 2026.
Swiss nFADP
Switzerland's revised data-protection law (in force since Sept 2023) raises the bar for how biometric data is handled.
Swiss e-ID Act
Switzerland's federal e-ID law was approved in 2024, with a state-issued e-ID planned — creating demand for compliant verification.
Sources: EU Regulation 2024/1183 (eIDAS 2.0); Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (nFADP, in force 1 Sept 2023); Swiss Federal Act on Electronic Identity (e-ID, adopted 2024). Timelines per published government materials and may evolve.
A large, regulation-driven market — sized as ranges.
The global identity verification market is estimated in the low tens of billions USD and projected to grow double-digit CAGR through the decade.
