What is IronVest?

IronVest is a New York company that sells an intent verification layer for banks and fintechs. Its ActionID technology uses the device camera to check the customer's face while capturing the transaction details shown on screen, then cryptographically binds the two before a payment is released. For wires, Zelle, ACH, RTP/FedNow and SWIFT initiation, the customer confirms the amount, recipient and bank on their own device, and the bank receives a yes or no result with a signed record of what was approved. IronVest says this can replace callbacks, OTP step-ups and manual review queues for verified actions. A second product, KYRi, assesses recipient risk before funds move and is offered through an early access programme. ActionID is delivered as an SDK or API for iOS, Android and web, and is listed on AWS Marketplace and Microsoft Marketplace.

Best for: Banks and fintechs that want customers to approve wires and other payments in their own app with a biometric check tied to the exact transaction details.

Pros

  • Approval is bound to the amount, recipient and bank shown to the customer, and screen capture is used to detect altered transaction details
  • Covers several payment rails, including domestic and international wires, SWIFT, Zelle, ACH and RTP/FedNow
  • Each approved transaction produces a cryptographically signed record showing amount, recipient and customer biometric

Things to check

  • Verification depends on a device camera and a brief face capture at the point of approval
  • KYRi, the recipient-side product, is offered through an early access programme with a small group of banks and fintechs
