Your Card, Your Security. Tap: A Safer Way to Verify Identity \u2014 Visa, Keyno, and Fidelity Bank (Bahamas) Lead the Transformation<\/b><\/p>\n

Visa and Keyno reimagine identity verification for the digital era, launching the next generation of Tap use cases \u2014 Tap to Confirm and Tap to Activate \u2014 first with Fidelity Bank (Bahamas) Limited<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

MIAMI–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nVisa (NYSE: V) today announced a major step forward in how consumers verify their identity in the digital era, with the first-ever deployment of its Tap to Confirm and Tap to Activate technology for issuing banks. Launched in collaboration with fintech partner Keyno and Fidelity Bank (Bahamas) Limited, this innovation represents a paradigm shift in how consumers prove who they are to their financial institutions \u2014 turning the physical Visa card into a trusted identity credential that works with a simple tap inside the banking app they already use.<\/p>\n

\nAs commerce becomes increasingly digital, identity verification has emerged as one of the defining challenges of modern banking and payments. Instead of relying on one-time passcodes, call center verification, or other complex authentication processes, cardholders can now confirm their identity or activate a new card simply by tapping their Visa card to their mobile device \u2014 providing EMV-level security while delivering a frictionless user experience.<\/p>\n

Visa Powers the Next Era of Identity Verification<\/b><\/p>\n

\nThe breakthrough technology showcases Visa’s innovation leadership by leveraging advanced EMV cryptography and Visa’s proprietary Chip Authenticate service. The solution integrates Visa’s robust Transaction Exchange (VTEX) API for real-time card data authentication directly through VisaNet \u2014 the world’s most advanced payment processing network, handling over 150 billion transactions annually.<\/p>\n

\n“Identity verification has become one of the defining challenges of digital commerce \u2014 and one of the biggest points of friction for consumers and issuers alike. With tap authentication, Visa is transforming the card in your wallet into a secure, intuitive identity credential, delivering an experience that is easier for consumers and more secure for issuers. This is what Visa’s payments expertise and global infrastructure make possible,\u201d said, Mike Romero, Head of Digital Solutions, Visa Latin America and the Caribbean.<\/p>\n
