BIO-key announced a new strategic, multi-year agreement with Sociedade Interbancaria de Mocambique, or SIMO, the operator of Mozambique's national electronic payments network. Working in partnership with RunLevel, a specialized regional integrator with identity and cybersecurity experience across Africa, BIO-key will support the modernization of identity and access security across SIMO's financial ecosystem. The agreement builds on BIO-key's and RunLevel's first joint IAM deployment in Mozambique, in May 2025, for a major National Bank. Under initiative, BIO-key's PortalGuard IAM platform, PIN:You tokenless authentication, and Single Sign-On capabilities will be integrated into SIMO's environment to improve governance, boost cybersecurity resilience, and streamline secure access for institutions participating in the national payments infrastructure. The agreement supports SIMO's long-term strategy to adopt enterprise-grade identity security aligned with international best practices while continuing to modernize Mozambique's financial sector. The deployment represents BIO-key's 11th banking and financial sector customer globally.

BIO-key announced a strategic partnership with Visualforma. This partnership supports the launch of a new line of business focused on Portuguese municipal councils. Visualforma will lead the nationwide rollout of BIO-key's IAM and biometric authentication technologies across Portugal's public-sector ecosystem, currently comprising more than 250 government organizations. The contract defines a structured deployment framework that has already been executed to secure access to digital services, reinforce cybersecurity controls, and ensure regulatory compliance across municipal administrations, educational institutions, and healthcare entities. In parallel, the agreement includes the deployment of BIO-key's IAM and biometric technologies within a tourist city, where the solution is already operational and supporting citizen- and visitor-facing digital services.
