Biometric Authentication

What was previously called Client Authentication is now referred to as Biometric Authentication.

Biometric Authentication is supported in both v1 and v2 integrations.

This solution assesses biometric and geolocation data to verify the identity of an existing client — for example, when:

  • The client uses a new device.
  • The client loses access to an account containing funds.
  • A transaction is initiated from a high-risk location or above a specific threshold.
