At Mobix he personally led the development of an innovative and patented authenticated telephony solution (Authenticall) for the banking and financial services industry, which was sold to Swivel Secure and saw Richard being named Digital Entrepreneur of the Year for Security Innovation in 2010.

The Technology:

Onescan is based on the QR code technology, which is ubiquitous. Retailers and websites working with Onescan simply display Onescan padlock logo alongside goods, or on the check-in or checkout page. All the customers have to do is open Onescan app on their phone, and point it at the image on screen. The application captures the information being requested, including name, payment details and the item being bought, and displays it on the phone screen as well. Customer authorizes the transaction, and Onescan takes care of the processing the payment, and confirming the purchase both on the scree and on the phone.
