March 10th, 2022 – StrongKey is proud to announce its selection for the Federal Reserve's new FedNow Service Provider Showcase. Launched publicly on March 8th 2022, the Provider Showcase is an online resource designed to connect financial institutions with service providers and thus enable collaboration towards instant payment solutions.
“StrongKey is excited to be featured on the FedNow Service Provider Showcase, and we look forward to the collaboration with financial organizations who want to implement instant payments” said CTO Arshad Noor. ”The Tellaro family of solutions has long been dedicated to making the highest levels of security available to organizations of all sizes. Our future offerings for the FedNow Service represent the Tellaro’s next evolution.” StrongKey intends to have early access versions of this capability available throughout the course of the year, and launch production solutions and services as the FedNow Service goes live in 2023.
The StrongKey Tellaro is one of the most secure data protection appliances, servicing customers in e-commerce, telecommunications, banking and payments industries all over the world. Leveraging FIPS certified cryptographic hardware and software, the StrongKey Tellaro appliance supports data encryption, tokenization, card-present transaction processing, passwordless FIDO strong authentication, digital signatures and key-management of billions of cryptographic keys for compliance to regulations such as PCI-DSS, GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, FFIEC and PSD2. Leveraging this security foundation and over two decades of deployment expertise, the StrongKey Tellaro will add support for the FedNow Service by early 2023.
The StrongKey Wallet will deliver one of the most secure and privacy protecting digital wallets in the world. Leveraging advanced security capability available in modern mobile devices (Biometrics, Trusted Execution Environment, Secure Elements, Hardware Attestations), and based on industry standards, it will deliver a frictionless user experience for instant payments through the FedNow Service when it goes live in 2023.
“We appreciate StrongKey’s commitment to enabling FedNow adoption and participating in the showcase,” said Nick Stanescu, Federal Reserve Bank senior vice president and FedNow business executive. “The time is now for organizations to identify and connect with partners they’ll need to build the end-to-end solutions the market is demanding.”
