Keyo Names Rudy Dajie Chief Executive Officer to Accelerate Fraud-Resilient, Palm-Powered Payments & Identity.

As AI makes surface-only biometrics easier to spoof, Keyo doubles down on multi-modal palm authentication and enterprise scale.

CHICAGO, Aug. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Keyo, a leader in palm-based identity for payments, check-in, ticketing, and ID, today announced the appointment of Rudy Dajie as Chief Executive Officer, effective August 26, 2025. Dajie will lead Keyo's next phase of growth as the company expands deployments of its fraud-resilient, privacy-first biometric platform across healthcare, retail, hospitality, and the workplace.

"Generative AI has changed the threat landscape; surface-feature biometrics alone are no longer enough," said Rudy Dajie, CEO of Keyo. "Keyo's multi-modal palm approach measures what can't be faked on a screen—subdermal vein patterns paired with surface prints and real-time liveness—to deliver identity that is private, contactless, and dependable at scale."

Built for real-world use, Keyo's platform blends high-resolution palm prints with subdermal vein mapping and on-device liveness checks to stop spoofing and reduce fraud, while delivering sub-second matching in high-traffic settings. Businesses use Keyo to unify payments + loyalty, create quick and contactless check-ins, and simplify time & attendance with a privacy-by-design architecture.

What's Next Under Dajie's Leadership

• Unbreakable Identity: Shipping the industry's first global biometric platform architected to defeat AI-driven spoofing attacks with next-generation multi-modal sensor fusion.
• Zero-Friction Payments: Launching certified, turnkey integrations for major Point-of-Sale (POS) and payment gateways to establish palm as the new standard for secure checkout.
• Future-Proofing the Platform: Accelerating the development of next-generation hardware and AI, setting the industry roadmap for moving from fraud detection to outright fraud prevention.
• Radical Simplicity for Partners: Releasing a new, streamlined developer experience designed to enable rapid, multi-site enterprise and payment partner rollouts.
