OSLO, NORWAY – 15 June 2016– Zwipe, a global leader in biometric identification technologies, today announced the launch of Zwipe Access 2.0. The updated access control product has several key enhancements such as faster authentication, enhanced image and capture capabilities, and reduced false rejection rates. Zwipe Access 2.0 is being launched at IFSEC in London.
“The enhanced features were developed based on market research, customer feedback and industry advancements,” said Bob Fee, Director of Sales, North America.
The Zwipe Access biometric card is compatible with all popular proximity and smart card readers, including those from HID, Allegion and Farpointe. The on-card 3D capacitive fingerprint scanner both captures and matches on the card; enabling users to maintain the security of their own biometric data. At no time is biometric data communicated to any reader, hard drive or external database; giving peace of mind to end-users and card issuers alike.
Zwipe Access cards can be issued to key staff and personnel, or more specifically for certain high-security areas such as server rooms and pharmacies, providing the enhanced security benefits of 2-factor biometric authentication without the need to change existing access control system software or readers. The card can be integrated into a Physical or Logical Access Control system in the same way that present 125kHz Proximity, iCLASS, LEGIC or Mifare cards are incorporated. Through products such as Zwipe Access©, Zwipe ID© and Zwipe Payment©, Zwipe continues to be the industry leader in innovative biometric identification solutions.

“In Zwipe’s H1 2022 presentation last month I had mentioned that our top priority is now to scale up and speed up commercial launches, both on Zwipe Pay and Zwipe Access with top quality and professionalism. Jens is joining us at a crucial time when we are scaling our business and platform deployment globally. Jens’ wealth of experience in leading many customer delivery projects across various high-tech sectors will be a great asset,” says Robert Puskaric, President & CEO of Zwipe.

OSLO, NORWAY – 23 August 2022 – Zwipe AS ("Zwipe" or "the company") today announces its results for the first half 2022.
Operational highlights
Financial highlights
Review
In H1 2022, we signed seven new issuers for Zwipe Pay, from Germany to India and across the Middle East. All of them are planning pilots with our card manufacturing partners, although we have learned that pilot preparation is taking longer than previously expected. We also expanded our global delivery capabilities and market reach by signing one major SCM and onboarding two leading personalization solution providers as go-to-market (“GTM”) partners.
Zwipe is pursuing an “execution first” approach focusing on launching announced pilots. In total, seven issuer pilots are progressing with good pace and according to issuer plans. Additional pilot launches are expected in the coming quarters, with launch dates entirely dependent on issuer decisions. We are also focused on “execution first” with our SCM customers – getting all certified and ready for mass volume production. While these remain our top priorities, Zwipe continues expanding our customer and issuer pipeline – critical to our medium-term success.
In March, Zwipe completed the certification process with Visa and obtained the Visa LoA. This certification marks a major milestone towards commercialization of Zwipe Pay and was followed by Visa LoAs obtained by lead customers BCC, TAG Systems and Inkript. This list is expected to grow significantly going forward. Zwipe has successfully completed additional testing with third party laboratories that should ease additional payment scheme certifications.
It is undeniable that market takeoff of biometric payment cards has been slower than envisioned. BPC volumes deployed are expected to remain fairly low into 2023, before growing exponentially thereafter. Zwipe is not immune to the delayed market takeoff, but our customers and partners remain committed to launching pilots and commercial propositions, even if somewhat later than originally planned. Furthermore, consumer demand for BPCs remains strong with 82% of individuals surveyed by Zwipe saying that they want their next card to be biometric and 60% saying they would consider switching to banks who offer biometric cards. Importantly, most third-party research continues to point to BPCs accounting for 15-20% of total EMV units shipped by 2030 (estimated at 3-4 billion units), highlighting just how large the market potential remains.
For Zwipe Access, we now have a healthy and growing list of opportunities within the data center and airport verticals as well as other security sensitive customer segments. The growing number of requests for Zwipe Access solutions is driven by increasing demand for stronger data privacy, higher security and better user experience. Indeed, Zwipe was recognized by Fraport, operating 31 international airports globally, as a potential provider for next generation security solutions at their airports. Fraport’s initial trials have now been completed and they are evaluating possible next steps.
There were substantial changes in the executive management team at Zwipe during the first half, with three of the six-member C-suite newly joining the company – strengthening leadership, bringing industry expertise and positioning Zwipe well for the future.
Financial review
Zwipe reported total revenues of 0.8 mNOK during H1 2022 versus 1.4 mNOK in H1 2021. On an adjusted basis, total operating expenses increased by 13.3 mNOK to 48.4 mNOK in H1 2022 versus H1 2021. The majority of this increase was due to personnel expenses, which increased by 9.1 mNOK to 25.9 mNOK in H1 2022 versus H1 2021. Of the 9.1 mNOK, 5.5 mNOK were one-off costs related to former executives leaving the company. The remaining increase in personnel expense is largely due to an increase in headcount by 13 people to meet the strong demand for the company’s solutions and to prepare for piloting and deployment of our card payment solutions and services.
Zwipe’s cash position remains strong, with cash and cash equivalents at 109.7 mNOK on 30 June 2022.
Total equity as of 30 June 2022 was 108.8 mNOK resulting in an equity ratio of 89%, roughly stable versus the position at the end of the first half of 2021.
The way forward
Zwipe is progressing well in many important areas even if the market for biometric payment cards is developing at a slower pace than expected. Operating expenses and headcount are not expected to increase substantially in H2 vs H1 2022 nor at the pace expected at the start of the year. Zwipe will, however, continue to invest intelligently – particularly in its people and technology.
For Zwipe Pay, second half priorities will center on pilot deployment with issuers, assisting SCMs in becoming mass production and delivery ready, and continuing to expand our customer and issuer pipeline. Further developing the dedicated customer project management function and standardized blueprint to improve pilot execution will be a key focus during H2 2022.
Going forward, Zwipe Access is expected to contribute a larger part of revenue than previously assumed. The pipeline for Zwipe Access is healthy and growing with prospects within the data center and airport verticals as well as other security sensitive customer segments.
