## About

Based in Missouri, US, and founded in 2017, ZOLOZ Co., Ltd. provides biometric-based solutions that allow users to replace pins, passwords, and offline identity verification. The company transforms the image of a user's eye into a key thus enabling mobile users to authorize transactions and access information in a manner that is secure, scalable, and convenient. In September 2016, EyeVerify was acquired by Ant Group and rebranded as ZOLOZ Co., Ltd. The company is wholly-owned by a subsidiary of Ant Group, a Chinese company. 

The company’s line of products are ZOLOZ Connect which brings authentication and identity of the users upon sign up and stay logged in to applications. ZOLOZ Real ID is the facial recognition, anti-spoof technology, and advanced character recognition of the users. Lastly, ZOLOZ Smile is offered to users who the customers need to smile upon capturing in the camera of the kiosk, vending machine, or other devices to scan the face of the customers and match it against an existing profile.

ZOLOZ Co., Ltd. plans to secure a sale in the first half of this year.
