Open biometrics. No black boxes, no lock-in.

One borrower, one loan. Recognize your clients by their eyes.

For lenders and microfinance first: a $179 USB scanner, your clients enrolled on our cloud, and from then on a defaulter cannot come back under a new name. No documents needed, running in a week, from $29 a month. The same service works for clinics, insurers, aid programs and public registers.

Identity is too important to be a black box.

So we build biometrics in the open. Our SDK and converters are on GitHub, every template is stored in an ISO format, and the same matcher runs on our cloud or on your own servers. A lender, a clinic, an aid agency or a national registry can check what it runs, own its data and leave whenever it wants.

Who it is for

Lenders and microfinance

A borrower who defaulted cannot come back under another name, and borrowers know it from the first scan. In a Malawi field trial, repayment among the riskiest borrowers went from 67% to 92% once they were enrolled.

Fintech and microfinance →

Clinics and insurers

One patient, one record, and a membership card that does not work for a relative.

Hospitals · Health insurance →

NGOs and aid programs

Each person registered once and served once, with or without documents, offline in the field.

NGOs and aid programs →

Governments and public registers

One person, one record in voter, social and civil registers, with the matcher on government servers when the data must stay in the country.

Elections and public registers →

How it works

  1. Get scanners. USB iris scanners from $179 connect to the laptop or Android tablet you already use.
  2. Enroll on our cloud. Each person is scanned once and checked against everyone already enrolled, so nobody is registered twice.
  3. Identify in seconds. Next time the person looks at the scanner and you get their record, without a card or a document.

Start with a kit

Two USB iris scanners, the first three months of the cloud for up to 30,000 people, remote setup and staff training. Larger organizations start with a pilot on their own data.

Why Iriscan

Your data stays yours

Iris and face images are stored in ISO formats. Export them at any time, or move the same matcher to your own servers.

Open source at the core

Our Biometric SDK and fingerprint converter are open source on GitHub, so you can check what runs on your devices. Building a closed-source product on them? A commercial licence lifts the GPL obligations.

EU-funded research

Our biometric identity and credit history prototype INGRESS was built within the EU's NGI ONTOCHAIN program.

Hardware we stand behind

We are an official reseller of CardLogix: BIOSID rugged tablets and Vista iris and face cameras.
