DigitalPersona acquires Identity Stream Temenos T24 to expand banking solutions

DigitalPersona, a trusted partner for biometric identity verification solutions, announced the acquisition of Identity Stream, a solution provider that leverages biometrics to ensure positive identification of customers and employees in financial institutions. Identity Stream's software solution is currently marketed with Temenos, the banking software company, as T24 Biometrics. The solution has seen growth in emerging markets by providing “one touch” identification for any transaction in the TEMENOS T24 core banking system.

This solution allows banks to cost-effectively launch new products, serve customers in emerging markets and decrease time at the teller in branch operations. It identifies customers and employees by scanning their fingerprints and matching that unique identifier with an identity profile stored on a secure server. DigitalPersona plans to enhance the application by integrating it with its industry-leading line of biometric hardware and software for strong authentication. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company will continue Identity Stream's partnership with Temenos.
