THE PROBLEM
Non-card payments are plagued with friction, fraud, and drop-off.
0%
Never come back
App redirect interrupts checkout, customers leave and don’t return.
0%
Abandon at OTP
OTP adds latency, cost, and risk, one in five users drops off.
Higher ATO exposure
Stored credentials invite fraud, account takeover risk multiplied.

The typical A2A payment journey today

Watch how device-bound passkeys work
HOW IT WORKS
First transaction: 2–3 seconds. Every transaction after - half a second.
Silent Bridge
When a consumer selects Pay by Bank for the first time, Ideem silently bridges the merchant app and payment app using ZSM device binding. No redirect. No user interaction. The binding happens during the payment — not as a separate step.
Device Binding
ZSM cryptographically binds the device to the payment app using device-bound FIDO credentials. Trust is anchored to the physical device.
Silent Auth
Silent push authentication. No app switching. No OTP. No redirect. Works in native apps, embedded WebViews, and mobile browsers.

WHY IDEEM
Non-card payments have never had a persistent trust layer. Bridging changes that.
Bridge on the first transaction — recover the 15–20% lost to redirects and OTPs.
Bind the device cryptographically — eliminate credential-on-file fraud.
Authenticate silently per transaction — half a second, zero friction, full audit trail.
Step up with Passkeys+ when needed — one SDK, one API call.
For the first time, non-card payments can deliver an Apple Pay experience — without the card network.
