Tap to pay has become second nature. Every day, millions of people tap their cards and mobile devices to make payments quickly and securely. Behind that simple gesture lies powerful payment-grade security technology that has helped make chip-based transactions one of the most trusted forms of payment worldwide. Now imagine bringing that same trusted tap into the moments where security matters most.

This is the vision behind Tap-to-Everything.

‍

The Trusted Tap Beyond Payments

Many high-risk digital interactions still rely on outdated authentication methods. One-time passcodes can be intercepted, security questions can be guessed, and app-based approvals can be confusing or vulnerable to social engineering attacks.

At the same time, organizations need stronger ways to verify identity without creating unnecessary friction for customers.

Tap-to-Everything changes that.

By using the payment card chip as a secure authentication device, customers can verify their identity and approve important actions with the same simple tap they already use for payments.

No new behavior to learn. No complicated enrollment process. Just tap and prove it’s really you!

Tap to Confirm

Some actions require stronger verification than a password or text message can provide.

With Tap-to-Confirm, customers can securely approve sensitive transactions and high-risk events. This includes payment step-up authentication, peer-to-peer transfers, cryptocurrency transactions, account changes, and other situations where organizations need greater assurance before allowing an action to proceed. The experience remains simple for the customer, while the underlying security is powered by payment-grade cryptography.

Tap to Activate

Activation processes should be secure, but they should also be seamless. With Tap-to-Activate, customers can securely activate new payment cards, memberships, digital services, and other credentials by simply tapping the card they already possess. Instead of relying on call centers, mailed activation codes, or vulnerable verification steps, organizations can provide a faster and more secure activation experience.

Tap to Verify Identity

Identity verification remains one of the biggest challenges in digital banking, commerce, and customer service. Organizations need confidence that the person taking action is the legitimate account holder. Customers expect the process to be fast, intuitive, and trustworthy. Tap-to-Verify Identity enables secure identity verification during call center interactions, high-risk account events, two-factor authentication processes, and other sensitive customer journeys. By transforming the payment card into a possession-based authentication factor, organizations gain stronger identity assurance while customers benefit from a familiar and straightforward experience.

Built on EMV-Grade Security

Keyno's Tap solution is built on EMV-grade cryptographic security and Visa chip authentication technology. The same trusted infrastructure that protects chip-based payments can now be extended beyond the point of sale to secure digital interactions and identity verification. This creates a powerful new layer of protection against fraud, account takeover, and social engineering attacks, while delivering an authentication experience that feels natural and effortless for customers.

‍

Your Card. Your Security.

The future of authentication should not require customers to navigate more complexity. It should leverage what they already know, already carry, and already trust.

Keyno makes that possible.

• Tap to confirm.
• Tap to activate.
• Tap to verify identity.

From tap to pay to Tap-to-Everything, Keyno is helping transform the payment card into a safer, simpler, and more trusted way to prove it’s really you.
