Our take
Keyo is a security biometrics company that specializes in providing biometric authentication solutions for various industries, including real estate, hospitality, and coworking spaces. The company's main product is the 'Keyo Network', a global biometric identification system that features the industry's most powerful palm scanner and software platform.
As the human hand has millions of unique data points differentiating us, palm scanning is the ideal biometric identifier. The problems Keyo Network has the ability to solve range from that of minor inconveniences to major crises, in which recovering the identity of someone may rely on the pattern of their hand.
While the notion of replacing more traditional payment methods with hand scanning still has its critics, Keyo is determined to drive its innovation forward in order to provide new security solutions for a range of industries.
