Ensygnia provides a mobile app that allows users to make secure transactions on their mobile phones by scanning a validation code.
Onescan is a patented system that allows you to make simple, fast, secure transactions on your mobile by scanning a code with a mobile app. We have a granted UK Patents (GB 2481663 B & GB 2489332 B) with further UK applications in progress & international patents filed in 60 countries. The patents cover scanning a visual code (not just QR) to perform an identity based action such as log-in, register, pay or shop.
Ensygnia has just closed a $3.3m pre-revenue, seed round in the UK. Investors include Wayra (the Telefonica O2 backed Accelerator), Rhoddy Swire (of Pantheon Ventures – investing personally), Irongate Capital, Sancy Capital and Jesus College Cambridge as well as the founders and management team.
Our SaaS platform, provides a robust & secure, approach to frictionless authentication, verification, trust federation, identity aggregation and transaction for a host of corporate, financial and consumer applications.
Our solution appeals due to its incredible ease-of-use and rapid, low-cost deployment all while maintaining bank-grade levels of security.
Onescan is what we regard as a visual alternative (NFV) of the Near Field Chip (NFC) technology used in contactless payments yet with wider applications.
Our approach has all the utility of NFC without the requirement for retailers to deploy new hardware and with the added ability for the consumer to use the service inside or outside of a retail environment. All Ensygnia needs is any pc or tablet screen, a smartphone and our app.
Our solution also extends that functionality beyond payments and into simple registration and log-in for the corporate and consumer worlds.
We allow users to easily use any device without having to enter their personal credentials or financial information.
