The 40-Year-Old Fintech Hiding Behind Your Credit Union App
Access Softek has spent nearly four decades building the digital front door for community financial institutions. Its unusual edge is not a flashy consumer brand, but a founder-owned platform designed to make a local credit union feel as capable as a national bank.
The Mobile SDK Is the Product Nobody Bothered to Rank
For an app-first business, the mobile SDK isn't a feature of your support stack — it is your support stack. So we ranked the ones that matter: UJET, Zendesk, Intercom, and Salesforce.
The Experience Center
A UJET brand film reframes the contact center as an 'experience center' - not a cost to minimize but the richest customer signal a company owns. The video walks through five moves (channel blending, mobile SDK and biometric auth, AI automation and routing, agent assist, and real-time CRM sync) that turn support from a ticket-closing utility into a loyalty and revenue engine.
Biometric Signature ID
Biometric Signature ID (BSI) is a Texas-based cybersecurity company that turns a short, hand-drawn password into a behavioral biometric. Its flagship BioSig-ID software verifies people by how they draw four characters with a finger or mouse - measuring speed, direction, angle, length and pressure - so no fingerprint reader, phone or extra hardware is needed. Used across higher education, financial services, healthcare, e-commerce and government, the technology fights account fraud, credential sharing and online-exam cheating while staying compliant with biometric-privacy laws.
Jeff Maynard
Jeff Maynard is the founder, president, and CEO of Biometric Signature ID, the Texas company behind BioSig-ID, a software-only biometric password that people draw with a finger or mouse instead of typing. He conceived the idea while running a publicly traded biometrics firm and funded its development for two years before launching the company with his wife Cindy in 2007. His gesture biometrics technology has been used tens of millions of times across 95 countries, holds multiple U.S. patents, and was selected by the White House to pilot the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace.

OLOID
OLOID is a Sunnyvale, California software company building passwordless, biometric identity and access for the 1.8 billion deskless and frontline workers who rarely sit at a desk or carry a company laptop. Its cloud platform lets factory, hospital, retail and pharmaceutical workers authenticate with their face, an NFC or RFID badge, or a QR code on shared devices and doors, without new hardware, while plugging into existing HRIS, SSO and physical access control systems. In 2025 OLOID extended into agentic identity with AURA, an AI identity-assurance agent that verifies employees in real time during help-desk requests like password resets and account unlocks.
Mohit Garg
Mohit Garg is the co-founder and CEO of OLOID, a Sunnyvale-based company building passwordless authentication and identity tools for the 1.8 billion frontline and deskless workers who clock in on shared devices rather than personal laptops. A serial entrepreneur out of Silicon Valley, he earlier co-founded Mindtickle, the AI-driven sales-readiness platform that grew into a unicorn, and trained at the Stanford StartX accelerator on a computer-vision product for the enterprise. He was named to Thinkers50's Leaders50 list in 2024.
Ricardo Amper

He is a World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer contributor, a champion of Gen Z hiring, and the driving force behind Incode's DeepSight deepfake-detection platform.
