The award winning Wink platform that you have come to know and love as the pioneer behind the vision of connecting commerce with identity, is getting even more powerful. Today, I’m thrilled to announce an important milestone: Wink has merged with Phoenix Managed Networks. Combining Wink’s biometric payments and authentication capabilities with Phoenix’s technology powering over 10 million monthly transactions and 220,000 merchant connections will form a powerhouse designed to reshape the future of payments with accelerated adoption of biometrics and AI.
Our unified platform will not only deliver a robust and secure payments solution for traditional online and in-store commerce with a highly scalable and modular infrastructure, but can now deliver innovations such as pay by face or palm, AI driven fraud prevention, e-commerce Checkout CoPilot with Paze and connected car commerce with voice biometrics. This will be a one of its kind open payments platform that is not only revolutionary but also grounded in industry-leading security and compliance standards.
The most advanced and modular payment stack designed for Scalability and Flexibility
One of the most powerful aspects of our combined biometric payments and identity platform is the availability of the most advanced payment stack in the market available in a highly modular fashion through either licensing, subscription or pay per use model. Wink offers a flexible, modular payment solution. You can choose a full-featured, white-labeled system or subscribe only to the services you need—scaling as your business evolves. You can start with what works best for you and expand or tailor the services as your business evolves. This means more control and less complexity—helping you scale faster and grow smarter.
The Most Powerful Licensable Payment Stack available in the market
At the heart of our newly unified offer is our AI-powered Biometric Payment Gateway and Technology stack that has features and capabilities not commonly available through traditional payment providers.

Whether you need AI-powered Checkout CoPilot with a fraud liability shift, universal multi-factor authentication for all your consumer applications, or age verification in your checkout flow, we provide tailored solutions. License it under your brand or let us host it in our PCI Level 1 compliant infrastructure—either way, we’ve got you covered.
