FaceTec Releases UR® Codes Scan+Match Apps on iOS and Android

Published

on

Free apps provide global access to UR Code validation and biometric face matching

SUMMERLIN, Nev., Feb. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — FaceTec announced the release of the Scan+Match Apps for its revolutionary UR® Code identity verification protocol. The apps scan, validate, and match a face to the biometric data encoded in a UR Code, with no biometric data or personally identifiable data leaving the user’s device.

The Scan+Match App is very easy to download and use, and provides free access to anyone who will use UR Codes to validate in-person identity anywhere by biometrically and digitally linking the legitimate user to their identification documents, helping to combat the growing threat of identity theft.

UR Codes are digitally-signed biometric barcodes that enable codeholders to prove their legal identity. The new Scan+Match Apps allow identity verification and access to associated privileges, whether in person or remotely, and are provided globally free of charge.

Available now in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store, the Scan+Match Apps allow users to match the encoded face data in the UR Code to another face, provide a Face Match Level, and validate the digital signature, proving the immutability of the personal info stored in the barcode.

“The Scan+Match App is very easy to use and provides free access to anyone who will use UR Codes to validate in-person identity, anywhere in the world, by biometrically and digitally linking the legitimate user to their identification documents, helping combat the growing threat of identity theft,” said Owen McShane, VP of Government Relations.

UR Codes are generated by legal identity issuing authorities by secure UR Encoder software running inside the issuing authority’s firewall. Using the issuing authority’s unique public/private encryption key pair, the UR Encoder software cryptographically signs each UR Code, making them provably immutable. UR Codes store each codeholder’s unique, digitally-signed face data, personal info, and legal identity data, empowering secure, low-cost, two-party identity verification at an unlimited scale. UR Codes can securely store data from driver licenses, passports, credit cards, contracts, and other official documents, which are then verifiably and biometrically bound to that individual.

Anyone can download the free Scan+Match app using the following links:

About UR Codes

FaceTec’s UR® Codes allow codeholders to prove with high confidence their legal identity, age, and the right to access their accounts or privileges, in-person and remotely. UR Codes have embedded within them digitally-bound biometric and legal identity information that ensures privacy-preserving, decentralized identity verification. As they store unique, signed face data, personal info, and legal identity data, UR Codes enable secure, low-cost, two-party identity verification at unlimited scale in any identity-related scenario from any issuing authority, such as a DMV, passport issuer, school, or employer.

BinBase Launches 2026 BIN Database Featuring 6-11 Digit Waterfall Lookup for High-Precision Payment Routing

Published

on

By

BinBase introduces its upgraded 2026 BIN Database, offering 3.2M+ card ranges, 29 granular data attributes, and extended 8-11 digit accuracy to eliminate false-positives and optimize routing for global fintechs.

MIAMI, July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — BinBase, a provider of payment intelligence and card issuing data, has announced the official release of its updated 2026 BIN Database. Engineered for payment gateways, acquiring banks, fraud prevention platforms, and e-commerce platforms, the updated dataset solves critical routing inaccuracies caused by the industry-wide shift from legacy 6-digit BINs to extended 8-to-11-digit card ranges.

Relying solely on 6-digit BINs in 2026 means misclassifying card products and losing money on interchange fees. Our 2026 release provides the surgical precision developers need for cost-effective payment routing.

Since ISO/IEC 7812 expanded the standard Bank Identification Number (BIN) length to 8 digits, traditional 6-digit lookup tables have struggled to correctly identify modern card profiles. This leads to false positives, misidentified interchange fees, and failed transactions. BinBase addresses this challenge by introducing a multi-tiered database structure supporting up to 11-digit precision, alongside a recommended “Waterfall Lookup Algorithm.”

To ensure 100% routing and verification accuracy, the Waterfall method executes a descending search sequence: checking 11-digit BIN ranges down through 10, 9, 8, 7, and 6 digits until an exact match is resolved.

Key technical specifications of the 2026 BinBase release include:

Over 3.2 Million Card Ranges: Full global coverage including Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover, UnionPay, JCB, and regional networks.Extended Precision: Over 88% of the dataset consists of high-precision ranges (8–11 digits) to accurately isolate sub-brands, currencies, and card tiers.29 Granular Attributes: Beyond core issuer data, the database features advanced parameters including Durbin Regulation status, US Debit/ATM network routing (STAR, NYCE), Fast Funds (Visa Direct / Mastercard MoneySend indicators), commercial Level 2/Level 3 data, and digital wallet token ranges (Apple Pay / Google Pay).

“Modern payment processing requires surgical precision,” said a spokesperson for Damiko Inc. “Relying solely on 6-digit BINs in 2026 means misclassifying card products and losing money on interchange fees. Our 2026 release provides the underlying intelligence developers need to build resilient, cost-effective payment infrastructure.”

Developers and payment teams can evaluate the full 29-field database schema, review integration examples, and download a free 2026 sample dataset on the official GitHub repository.
