The biometrics technology company has commercialized two products, Access and ID cards which, according to a company statement, have near-term revenue potential. Zwipe has also developed a market-ready fingerprint activated payment card capable of operating without the need for a battery or fixed power supply that is currently undergoing commercial pilots.

This latest equity capital round follows Zwipe’s $4.5 million financing earlier this year and brings total raised in equity, debt, and grants since inception to $24 million. Zwipe’s is owned by both institutional and private investors, in addition to key employees and board members. After the transaction, subject to approval by an extraordinary general meeting held 7 December 2017, the CEO and founder, other key employees and board members will hold in total 26.6% of the outstanding shares.
