BioCatch obtains patent for authenticating mobile device users

It has opened an office in Singapore amidst its expansion plans in Asia Pacific.

Digital identity company BioCatch has received a registered US patent for its method of verifying user identity and detecting fraud based on the manner in which the user holds and uses their mobile device, the company announced.

The method brings the company’s total patent to 57 since its founding in 2011.

BioCatch has also started to expand in Asia Pacific, as it opens an office in Singapore and adds to its operations in India with an increased focus in Asia Pacific as well.

“We continue to enhance our platform and find new ways to protect financial institutions and their customers from fraud and cybercrime. Surpassing 50 patents is a major milestone and a testament to our innovative strength and leadership in the industry,” BioCatch founder Avi Turgeman said.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
