Stop fraud at the point of transaction with credential-based step-up authentication.

Traditional fraud prevention relies on behavioural signals, device fingerprinting, and post-hoc investigation. Credential-based step-up authentication adds a fundamentally different layer: when a transaction triggers a risk threshold, the user is prompted to present a verified credential from their wallet.

Where verification is needed

  • High-value payment authorisation when a transfer exceeds a risk threshold
  • Account recovery and password reset identity verification
  • New payee addition identity confirmation
  • Suspicious login or device change step-up authentication
  • Marketplace transaction identity verification
  • Insurance claims identity confirmation before processing payout

What Vidos does

  • Generates a presentation request for any credential type your risk engine specifies
  • Verifies the credential cryptographically: signature, issuer trust chain, revocation status, expiry
  • Applies your business rules: attribute matching, velocity checks, policy hooks
  • Integrates as a step-up layer alongside your existing fraud and authentication stack
  • Returns a structured verification result with an audit trail

Benefits for your organisation

  • Add a cryptographically strong authentication factor resistant to social engineering
  • Reduce false positives with higher-assurance identity confirmation
  • Lower fraud losses on high-risk transactions
  • Maintain existing fraud stack: Vidos integrates as a step-up layer
  • Credential-agnostic: works with government and bank-issued credentials

EU context

Under PSD2 and forthcoming PSD3/PSR, Strong Customer Authentication is mandatory. The December 2027 deadline creates a natural integration point for credential-based fraud prevention.
