PRODUCT UPDATES
The new PXL Ident experience is here: user-tested & validated.
We are excited to roll out the latest version of our flagship identity verification solution, PXL Ident, featuring a redesigned verification experience.
The aim of this redesign is to create a more modern, intuitive, and user-friendly verification process with clearer guidance, an improved visual design and a stronger focus on the end user's experience.
Through multiple rounds of user testing, we looked closely at how people actually move through the verification flow: where they hesitate, where they skip instructions, where they need guidance and where friction can lead to drop-offs.
Feedback from these sessions directly influenced the final design and helped us further refine the experience before rollout.
The results confirmed that the redesigned flow provides a more intuitive and guided experience, helping users complete verification tasks with greater confidence and less friction.
💡 The redesign has already received positive feedback from both customers and test participants, reinforcing our goal of creating a verification experience that is not only visually refreshed, but also easier and more intuitive to use and therefore positively affects conversion rates.
A shorter & seamless workflow for our B2C Online Signature.
Our qualified electronic signature solution, PXL Sign, now operates entirely independently from the front-end of trust service providers (TSP) like Swisscom Trust Services. This shift gives our customers greater control over the process and removes unnecessary hurdles for their end-users.
Key Benefits of the new workflow:
Improved UX: Optimised the front-end workflow and eliminated several steps in the user journey (5 screens and 2 redirects), significantly reducing the time-to-completion for key tasks.
Efficient Processing: Transactions executed outside of the review agent’s work hours are automatically completed on the next working day. Users receive a notification when the review is completed.
Reduced Waiting Time: Users can complete the identity verification session immediately after the selfie video (no need to wait in the browser until manual review is completed).

Zebrabox scales identity verification across the European self-storage market with PXL Ident.
This quarter, we are proud to highlight our latest case study featuring Zebrabox, Switzerland’s leading self-storage provider.
For Zebrabox, identity verification is essential for both regulatory compliance and the customer experience point of view. They required a solution that could verify international identity documents and be scaled up to cover France, Spain and other European markets.
The criteria were clear: the solution had to operate seamlessly 24/7 with zero manual intervention and without forcing customers to visit a branch or download a separate app.
By partnering with PXL Vision and integrating PXL Ident, Zebrabox now offers a verification process that makes renting a storage unit as simple, quick, and secure as booking a hotel room directly from a smartphone.
Fighting the rise of deepfakes: new data and its implications for your business.
A few weeks ago, Swiss broadcaster SRF visited our headquarters in Zurich to feature PXL Vision in a video report for 10vor10 programme. They took a closer look at our facial deepfake detection technology in action and discussed the growing risks synthetic media pose to digital identity processes.
Our technology is designed to identify manipulated or fully synthetic faces during the digital identity verification process by detecting subtle patterns and anomalies invisible to the human eye.
Based on our daily transaction data, we have analysed how quickly this threat is evolving. While the volume of deepfake attempts varies by industry and use case, one clear trend emerges: deepfakes in digital identity verification are increasing rapidly. Companies must act now to ensure they have effective defence mechanisms in place.
Key findings from our recent data analysis:
❗Accelerated growth: A 2-3x increase in deepfake attempts compared to last year.
❗Smarter fraud: The quality of synthetic attacks has improved to the extent that they can no longer be reliably spotted by humans.
❗Lower barriers to entry: Generative AI tools now enable fraudsters to mount convincing attacks with far less technical expertise than before.
❗Rapid scalability: Individual bad actors can now use automated AI tools to scale their operations at an unprecedented pace.
