Banking &
Payment Systems

In today’s fast-paced digital economy, Payment and Banking Systems face rising pressure to defend against sophisticated threats. Cyberattacks, identity theft, and insider fraud continue to grow, while customers demand convenience and regulators impose stricter compliance mandates. A 17% rise in data breaches (Statista, 2019) further underlines the urgency for stronger, smarter security.

Traditional tools like PINs, passwords, and ID cards are no longer enough. Gekonova’s biometric technologies offer a new level of protection—enhancing identity verification while delivering a seamless user experience across the financial sector.

Industry Demands

To meet today’s challenges, financial institutions are shifting toward biometrics—leveraging facial, fingerprint, and palm vein recognition to verify identity securely and efficiently.

  • Key needs in modern Payment and Banking Systems include:
  • Accurate verification of customer and staff identities using biometric data
  • Integration of biometrics with official documents like passports, ID cards, or bank credentials
  • Lightning-fast identity checks for transactions and account access
  • Centralized audit trails and searchable authentication logs for regulatory compliance

Our Biometric Solutions for Banking and Payment Systems

Gekonova offers a comprehensive suite of biometric tools designed specifically for the security and efficiency needs of Payment and Banking Systems. These solutions are built on over a decade of biometric R&D and include:

  • End-to-End Encryption: Biometric templates are secured with AES-256 encryption, keeping sensitive data inaccessible to unauthorized parties.
  • Fraud Defense: Anti-spoofing safeguards and internal-only biometric features like vein patterns significantly reduce the risk of forgery and internal breaches.
  • Contactless, Instant Authentication: Whether at ATMs, mobile apps, or POS terminals, Gekonova verifies identities in seconds—without the need for cards or passwords.
  • Regulatory Readiness: Gekonova’s systems support global standards such as GDPR, CCPA, LGPD, PDPA, and POPIA, helping financial institutions meet KYC and AML requirements.
  • Flexible Deployment: Our solutions integrate easily with both legacy banking infrastructure and cloud-based platforms, supporting in-branch and virtual onboarding.
  • Custom-Fit Solutions: Designed to support a range of use cases—from teller access control to mobile wallet verification—ensuring security without sacrificing convenience.

Why Biometrics in Banking?

Biometric adoption is accelerating rapidly, with the global market projected to rise from $34.5 billion in 2023 to $115 billion by 2030. As fraud and customer expectations rise, Payment and Banking Systems must evolve.

Gekonova’s biometrics reduce fraud, speed up service delivery, and widen access—especially for individuals lacking traditional ID documentation. From improved operational security to increased financial inclusion, the impact is measurable and transformative.

Real World Impact

Gekonova’s biometric solutions are redefining daily banking and payments, offering real-time security and ease-of-use across multiple touchpoints:

  • ATMs: Replace PINs with fingerprint or facial recognition, reducing fraud risks like card skimming while speeding up cash withdrawals.
  • Mobile Banking: Secure app access and wallet transactions using palm vein or facial scans—eliminating vulnerabilities from stolen credentials or phishing attacks.
  • Branch Operations: Grant system or vault access to authorized staff only. At counters, biometric verification accelerates onboarding and account servicing, reducing queues.
  • Retail Payment Systems: Enable contactless facial or fingerprint authentication at POS terminals for faster checkouts and a hygienic, card-free experience.

From rural banking access to high-volume urban payments, our technology adapts to diverse needs, driving financial inclusion and customer satisfaction.
