Retail Bank Executes Expanded $1.04M License Renewal for BIO-key Biometric Identity Solution Serving 30M Clients
March 3, 2026
BIO-key® International, Inc. (NASDAQ: BKYI), a global leader in biometric-centric Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions, today announced it has secured a $1.04M license renewal and expansion order for its biometric identification solution from a foreign retail bank, a customer since 2015. Reflecting the customer’s ongoing expansion of the solution’s deployment, the value of the one-year renewal increased 30% over the prior year.
BIO-key also disclosed that based on its year-end cash position of $2.7M, anticipated license renewal activity including today’s announcement, and anticipated receivables collections, it believes it has sufficient cash and anticipated cash inflows to support its growth plans internally.
Michael DePasquale, BIO-key’s Chairman and CEO, commented, “We are extremely encouraged by our growing traction in larger scale deployments which we expect to bolster our financial results and working capital position moving forward. We entered 2026 on a solid financial footing with approximately $2.7M in cash and improving visibility on both renewal activity and business development opportunities. These factors, combined with our spending discipline, provide a sound working capital outlook to internally fund our growth initiatives.
The bank’s biometric identification technology deployment has grown from an initial BIO-key rollout of 7M enrolled clients in 2015 to over 30M today. With ten fingerprints enrolled per client, the program now manages more than 300M fingerprints to support fast, consistent bank client identification and verification for in-branch interactions at teller stations, assisted kiosks and ATMs/automated service points. The renewal incorporates anticipated growth of 5% in client enrollment over the coming year.
In addition, approximately 10,000 bank employees use BIO-key’s fingerprint technology to authenticate themselves during daily branch operations and transaction processing, helping the bank enforce strong controls and reduce the risk of unauthorized activity The system is designed to help extend the trust established during client onboarding into everyday banking. As part of the bank’s know-your-customer (KYC) processes, client fingerprints are verified against the national identity verification system. The certainty of that client identity proofing event is then tied to their BIO-key enrollment and used for positive client identification in subsequent interactions. This helps banks maintain a durable chain of trust that strengthens protection against impersonation, account takeover and fraud.
“Identity assurance is becoming the control point for modern banking. As client service and operations become more automated and AI-assisted, it is essential for banks to deploy robust systems to authenticate customer interactions which can be audited. We are proud to support a ‘biometric chain of identity trust’ that helps connect day-to-day interactions, whether automated or in person, back to the bank’s original identity proofing,” said Jim Sullivan, BIO-key’s SVP of Strategy and Chief Legal Officer. “BIO-key is proud to provide a scalable biometric platform that has supported this customer’s extraordinary growth over the last decade.”
