CROMA SECURITY SOLUTIONS GROUP PLC
("CSSG" or the "Company")
NEW STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP
Croma Security Solutions Group Plc, the total security services provider, is
pleased to announce that it has entered into a new strategic partnership with
FinGo, a biometric identity authentication and payments platform. The new
alliance will complement and strengthen each company's leading solutions in
the provision of non-invasive biometric technology.
Croma currently deploys FASTVEIN™ biometrics across the education and
construction sectors, providing customers with a quick, easy to use, accurate
and cost-effective identity management. Working with FinGo will allow Croma to
expand its product suite to include payments alongside existing identity and
access control offerings in these sectors. This partnership will also expand
FinGo's digital identity management and payment expertise to include access
management.
Over the last 12 months, FinGo has adapted its solutions to integrate with
COVID-support services, including secure contact tracing within hospitality
settings and verification of employee COVID test results within the care
industry. The company is also in talks with policy makers over the use of
FinGo and vein ID for vaccine certification.
Nick Dryden, FinGo Chief Executive Officer, commented "FinGo is delighted to
enter into this strategic partnership with Croma. The combined capability,
coupling many years of experience in the security and access management arena
with our payments and digital identity management expertise, will create a
unique offering. We look forward to taking the joint offering to market in
2022 and giving existing and new customers an opportunity to deploy one single
secure and convenient biometric solution."
Roberto Fiorentino, Chief Executive Officer, Croma, added: "Croma is very
pleased to announce today our official partnership with FinGo. This
collaboration will give rise to the sharing of resource and solutions to bring
exacting client offerings across a number of verticals in which we each
currently operate. We are excited about the opportunity of building on our
position in the provision of human identification, biometric payment systems
and access control solutions."
Sebastian Morley, Chairman, Croma, said "We are delighted to announce this
strategic partnership.
This is a clear direction of travel post COVID when credible service providers
are seeking to collaborate in order to deliver for clients and shareholders."
