Managed Multi-Factor Authentication and Transaction Signing for Financial Services

Futurae Technologies is a Zurich-based security vendor that provides a fully managed authentication platform aimed at banks, fintechs, payment providers, insurers, and retailers. Spun out of ETH Zurich in 2016, the company built its product around user-centric strong authentication, helping regulated organizations meet requirements such as Strong Customer Authentication while keeping the login experience simple. Its platform combines multiple verification methods behind a single integration so enterprises can roll out modern, passwordless flows.

The platform supports a broad set of authentication factors, including push notifications, QR codes, time-based one-time passwords, SMS, and FIDO2, delivered through the Futurae app or an embeddable mobile SDK. Beyond login, it covers transaction confirmation and signing, account recovery, and self-service functions, alongside fraud-detection capabilities and integrations with existing identity and access management systems. APIs let teams embed authentication directly into web and mobile applications without building cryptographic infrastructure themselves.

By offering authentication as a managed service, Futurae lets organizations offload the operational burden of running secure factor delivery, key management, and scaling. The company positions its approach around reducing user friction and lowering help-desk costs while strengthening defenses against account takeover and fraudulent transactions. It serves enterprise customers across financial services and other sectors, with infrastructure designed to handle high request volumes across many countries on behalf of its clients.
