Operational review
In August 2022, Zwipe received the Component Conformity Statement (CCS) certificate from Mastercard, a significant milestone for the Zwipe Pay platform. With this certification, Zwipe became the first biometric payment card platform available to SCMs to achieve scheme approvals from both VISA and Mastercard. Soon after this announcement, Tag Systems was the first of our SCM customers to receive approval by Mastercard to deploy their biometric card products using the Zwipe Pay platform. Certification from Mastercard is expected to further accelerate issuer pilots and planned launches based on Mastercard's network.
Zwipe continues to focus on executing our signed issuers’ pilots. In total, seven issuer pilot projects are progressing according to issuer plans – including our first major announced pilot, the global Tier-1 bank pilot and the MEPS pilot. Additional pilot launches are expected in the coming quarters, with start dates to be defined by issuers. Zwipe’s SCM customers also saw a significant expansion in their issuer pipelines during the quarter, beginning engagements with ten new large and medium sized banks – primarily in the Latin America (“Latam”) and Asia Pacific (“APAC”) regions.
We also continued to make significant progress for Zwipe Access during the third quarter. In July, Fraport AG announced the conclusion of The Digital Factory – Biometric Security Controls project at Frankfurt Airport. Zwipe Access cards were tested by Fraport employees in real-time and passed all project requirements successfully. Zwipe is now shortlisted as a suitable contender to provide next generation access control when Fraport moves forward. Just after the end of the third quarter, Civix, one of America’s leading providers of security solutions to over 100 airports in North and Latin America, selected Zwipe’s access control technology to augment their security propositions for airport operations – further enhancing Zwipe’s position in the airport vertical.
On the technology side, the R&D team has continued to make good progress on finalizing our mobile enrollment solution for both Android and iOS, ensuring value-added enhancements that will enable consumers to have a seamless enrollment experience.
Zwipe also took an important step by establishing a dedicated Customer Success team to accelerate pilot execution. Jens Hansen was recruited to lead this department and becomes a member of the Zwipe Leadership Team, while several employees were transferred to the Customer Success unit.
Most importantly, Zwipe is ending the year with strong momentum, having announced the single largest commercial order in a quarter to date for Zwipe. Further traction with this SCM and others is expected in 2023.
Financial review
Zwipe had total revenue of 0.8 mNOK during Q3 2022 versus revenue of 0.4 mNOK in Q3 2021.

Biometric smart cards increase security, reduce time and costs
NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA and OSLO, NORWAY – 14 October 2022 – In partnership with Zwipe, Civix is expanding its Aviation Secure Credentials (ASC) suite of solutions with a biometric smart card for access control. The ASC Access Cards use built-in fingerprint sensors to check the legitimacy of cardholders at points of entry. The cards are fully compatible with traditional NFC card readers, so airports can use them to implement two-factor authentication without upgrading the existing hardware. The solution is also contactless, a priority for high-traffic facilities, like airports, in light of COVID-19.
“We’re excited to continue expanding on our end-to-end suite of security solutions for airport secure credentials with the addition of ASC Access cards,” said Tim Walsh, President of Civix Airports, a trusted partner to the FAA, state aeronautics departments, and over 100 airports worldwide. “The icing on the cake is that ASC Access cards work with existing hardware, meaning airports save costs and avoid holdups associated with complicated implementation and supply chain delays.”
ASC Access cards work by giving each user a card containing their unique fingerprint data in a secure chip. When placed near a reader, the card compares the fingerprint of the person holding the card with the fingerprint data stored on the card. If they are a match, the card generates an access code and directs the control infrastructure to grant access.
“Basically, the person assigned to the card must be holding it in order to get access. It’s a simple way for airports to improve security,” Walsh explained. The authentication process is self-contained within the card, so biometric data is not transmitted and separate biometric reader hardware is not required.
“This is a heightened level of security that is incredibly fast, easy, and affordable to implement,” said Robert Puskaric, President & CEO of Zwipe. “Civix is a highly reputed system integrator and solution provider to the airport industry, and we are proud to include our biometric smart card technology to its suite of solutions improving airport security.”
Civix ASC Access cards can be used with any access control system or as part of Civix’s suite of ASC solutions, which includes IDMS software, a self-service badging kiosk, and Aviation Channeling Data Management System formerly known as Designated Aviation Channeling (DAC) services to facilitate the fast, seamless communication of biographic and biometric data securely from aviation badging entities to the federal government.
“We know airports and the challenges they face, that’s why we’re especially proud to offer affordable solutions that eliminate friction throughout entire credentialing process, from self-service badging to automated background checks to access control,” said Walsh.

Built on decades of experience and a deep understanding of airport processes, Civix provides industry-leading solutions for managing airport operations, finance, and security.
