Passwordless authentication for Financial Services

Customers drop off at signup and call in for password resets. Let them sign in with passkeys, magic links, OTP or social login - and step up verification only when money moves.

Financial Services Authentication

Where passwords cost banks and fintechs

Every extra step in onboarding loses customers, and every stolen password is a potential account takeover.

Onboarding Drop-off

Long signup forms and password rules lose customers before they fund an account.

Account Takeover

Reused and phished passwords give attackers direct access to customer money.

Transaction Security

High-value transactions need stronger verification without slowing down everyday use.

Regulatory Pressure

Strong customer authentication expectations (such as PSD2 SCA) have to fit a usable login.

Fraud Prevention

Stopping fraud while keeping the experience fast for legitimate customers.

How MojoAuth works for financial apps

One API for every passwordless method, with step-up verification where the risk is.

Passkeys

Customers sign in with Face ID or a fingerprint. Passkeys are phishing-resistant by design, so there is no password to steal.

Magic Link & Social Login

Fast onboarding with a one-click email link or Google, Apple and Facebook sign-in, so customers get to funding sooner.

Step-up OTP or passkey for high-value transactions

Ask for an OTP or a passkey confirmation only for transfers, payee changes and other sensitive actions.

OTP as a second factor

Add a one-time code as a second factor on top of any sign-in method. MFA is available on Business Pro and Enterprise.
