The pace of innovation in payments is accelerating, but so is the sophistication of fraud. At Azupay, we don’t just enable real-time payments; we make them safer, simpler and smarter for businesses and their customers. That’s why we’ve adopted passkeys as a core security layer across our PayTo-enabled payment experiences.
What makes passkeys different?
Unlike passwords, passkeys aren’t something users need to remember, type or manage. They’re stored securely on a device and authenticated using biometric smarts on the personal device such as a fingerprint or face scan, making them both easier to use and significantly harder to compromise.
For users, the experience is seamless:
With passkeys, completing a secure payment can happen in a single biometric tap or glance. No passwords to reset. No SMS codes to intercept. Just fast, secure authentication built into the device customers already trust.
For businesses, the benefits are tangible:
- Fewer drop-offs at checkout or during agreement approvals
- Reduced fraud risk, especially from phishing or credential stuffing
- Lower support burden from login issues or forgotten passwords
Why it matters now
Scams targeting Australian consumers are more frequent and more advanced. Social engineering and impersonation tactics are rising; mass data thefts have made us all targets; traditional password-based flows have become increasingly vulnerable.
Passkeys don’t just eliminate the password. They shift the entire model of trust from shared secrets to verified identity and local device control.
At Azupay, we believe better security shouldn’t come at the cost of customer experience. Passkeys are a clear example of how we’re helping clients realise payment experiences that are intuitive, fraud-resistant, and future-ready.
In a real-time world, speed without trust isn’t progress, it’s a risk.
We’re designing for both. Our passkey-enabled UX Apps help businesses deliver security with simplicity at scale.
