Biometric Registration and Identity Verification
EyeBank® Biometric Recognition Technology
163 TRILLION CROSS MATCHES - 0% ERROR RATE - FINANCIALLY GUARANTEED
Verified biometric register onboarding for accurate ID authentication
The lrisGuard EyeBank® solution offers a complete biometric registration and authentication solution for financial and healthcare institutions, Governments, NGOs and retail. Our biometric recognition technology utilises the iris as the ID token for beneficiaries to own their unique digital identity.
Our award-winning iris recognition technology converts each iris image into an encrypted digital code. This is enrolled into a biometric registration database for storage and subsequent rapid matching. Our iris scanners, software and backend servers verify an iris on a one-to-many basis. Biometric recognition technology provides a robust and reliable authentication service with 100% accuracy and delivers a real-time confirmation with only a 2G signal. More information on our iris recognition technology.
Verified digital ID via biometric registration enables secure access to financial and other welfare services for some of the most vulnerable and digitally excluded populations. This includes refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs) and citizens.
EyeBank® enables registration and management of digital ID systems and it allows a plug-in for our EyeCloud® system. Biometric registration can be utilised for humanitarian aid and social welfare payments; verification of identity and payment cards; accessing Government services; and managing electronic medical records.
EyeCloud® has revolutionised the way banks, NGOs, Governments and FSPs handle personal identification, ensuring security is never compromised. It removes the need to build a new IT infrastructure as our devices, software and APIs link with existing biometric registration databases and payment systems. EyeCloud® connects with a variety of mobile and fixed service points to increase geographic cover. Go to EyeCloud®.

REDUCING ‘DOUBLE DIPPING’ TO SPREAD FUNDS FURTHER
Unique foundational identity
Our software secures remote terminals by identifying the customer at the point of transaction. It can be used whether the person is standing before a teller, at a customer service desk, at an ATM or in a retail store. It matches a person’s iris(es) against an extensive biometric register of iris templates in less than three seconds, on a one-to-many basis, around the world. It provides pristine identification performance through our Iris Farm Architecture (IFA) technology, which powers the entire system.
Who is responsible for the management, processing, storing and protection of beneficiary personal data and biometric register?
IrisGuard does not register beneficiaries and as such, does not collect, access, store or process any personal data or biometric records. For further information on our data management process please refer to our Privacy Notice.
Any personal data and records held on a biometric register collected by our clients/partners will be solely managed by them and stored on their own servers. They are responsible for the safe and secure processing, protection and access to the data, as well as regular monitoring, risk assessments and compliance with current and relevant data regulations.
IrisGuard does not store and does not have access to any biometric or demographic records, which are held and managed exclusively by the organisation that owns the information.
Who is responsible for the enrolment/registration of a persons’ biometric records and obtaining appropriate consent?
Collection of biometrics records in a non-refugee context will sit with the trust authority body. This could be a financial organisation or a Government agency, depending on the nature and purpose of the project.
The organisation responsible for the registration, consent and collection of biometric records carries the responsibility for ensuring that appropriate consent for both enrolment and storage of the data has been obtained, in line with the relevant data compliance regulations.
How foolproof is our technology?
IrisGuard is a well established leader in iris recognition with more than 20 years of experience in the sector. We hold multiple breakthrough patents to ensure unmatched quality and countermeasures. All IrisGuard imagers are designed with built-in industry-leading and patented ‘liveness-detection’, which ensures the presence of a live image as opposed to a still picture or a live video feed.
Our unique technology components are also designed to automatically detect the presence of contact lenses in the subject’s eyes and thwart their use affirmatively. Furthermore, IrisGuard’s patented measures include automatic and rapid detection of the presence of pupil dilation substances (such as eye drops), designed to evade detection.
All these unique and world-leading measures do not interfere with the rapid capture process of 3 seconds for both eyes, even while the subject is wearing glasses.
What security measures are in place for both hardware and software?
All IrisGuard’s EyeCloud® products in its fixable, portable and embedded range, are protected to the highest level and are certified to ISO9001:2015 and ISO 27001 standards.
Our APIs include further checks to determine if any unauthorised tampering or changes have occurred to the phone, such as rooting. This automatically disables the APIs and therefore ensures protection of data.
EyeCloud® platform access can be granularly enforced on many parameters including; device IMEI, MSISDN, hardware serial number, IP address, date and time as well as a built-in radius-based geo-fence mechanism and more.
EyeCloud® packets are protected with an end-to-end encryption scheme, which uses the latest industry-standard cryptographic algorithms including PKI, AES256 and SHA512. The use of hardware-based keys, Android Key Store random key generation and session keys ensures end-to-end encryption against all known attacks.
Our EyePay® Phone has full compliance to PAD (Presentation Attack Detection) ISO 30107-3 Level 1 testing, performed independently by iBeta labs in the USA. iBeta is a leading NIST NVLAP-approved biometric register test lab and the first FIDO alliance accredited test lab for biometric testing. IrisGuard is one of only two companies globally to achieve this level of PAD performance for iris scanning.
Can biometric recognition technology be used for other projects, outside of the refugee context?
Yes. We have developed biometric registration solutions directly addressing the needs of all our clients which are fit for purpose, streamline their operations and provide transparency. Designed for seamless integration into existing databases or payment systems, we deliver a true end-to-end iris recognition-based solution that delivers cost-effective digital and financial inclusion to the world’s 1.7 billion plus unbanked.
Biometric machine registration provides authentication and authorisation of cash transactions, pensions, social welfare payments, money remittances and medical services. It also links with mobile wallets via our EyePay® Phone or POS devices. It requires one-time enrolment only and is scalable, depending on the size of project, with no minimum value or frequency required.
What policies does IrisGuard have in place around ethical use of technology and marginalised people?
IrisGuard is a GDPR compliant company. We strictly adhere to GDPR in all our operations even though we do not collect, manage, process or store any personal data nor biometric registers of refugees or beneficiaries on any of our company servers.
- Beneficiaries register their iris(es) with the designated iris trust authority for subsequent cross matching.
- The beneficiary’s iris(es) are associated with the relevant value or service account provided by the support/paying organisation.

- The verification process is completed in under 3 seconds.
- No need to use a bank card, PIN number, passport, username or an ID card.
Biometric recognition technology provides a solution that is:
- User-friendly
- Contact-free
- Non-invasive and non-intrusive
- Hygienic and dignified – no physical contact required
- Exceptionally accurate and fast
