Cleverbridge completes France's first Passkey-authenticated agentic purchase, on a Revolut card

This news signals a major shift in how your customers will pay for goods and services online. Cleverbridge successfully processed a 'passkey-authenticated' transaction. This means a customer used biometric security (like a fingerprint or face scan) instead of a password or SMS code to authorize a payment. The purchase was 'agentic,' meaning an AI assistant handled the checkout process on behalf of the user, secured by a Revolut card and Visa’s infrastructure. For retailers and operators, this is a glimpse into a future where friction disappears from the checkout. Password resets and forgotten login credentials are two of the biggest reasons customers abandon their carts. By using passkeys, you can offer a faster, more secure way for customers to hit 'buy.' This technology isn't just for tech giants anymore; it is moving into the mainstream European market and will likely become a standard expectation for global e-commerce. It reduces fraud while simultaneously increasing conversion rates by removing the need for manual data entry.
