Authentix—providing customized banknote security solutions for the world’s currencies.
The protection of banknotes from counterfeiting is fundamental to the stability of a nation’s economy—yet at their simplest, banknotes are little more than paper and ink. Consequently, central banks bear a heavy responsibility to ensure that modern banknotes are protected from forgery, yet easily authenticated by all who need to do so.
Maintaining banknote security is a responsibility that has been shared by central banks working in close partnership with a few specialist suppliers of security inks, paper and both covert and public visual security features. However, the success of such partnerships has been limited by the supplier’s philosophy of selling individual products rather than integrated solutions.
On the other hand, banknote counterfeiters are not constrained by a narrow product focus when they look for specific security features to defeat. The increased sophistication of counterfeiters exposes the weaknesses of traditional security product suppliers. Ask an ink or substrate manufacturer to respond to a counterfeiting threat and they invariably do so from the confines of their product offerings. Not so with Authentix.
What sets Authentix apart in the field of banknote security, is our ability to provide complete authentication solutions rather than individual security products. Our matched systems span the entire spectrum of authentication needs from public verification, vending applications, teller assist, central bank sorting, sting operations and forensic authentication. Whatever the issue that needs to be addressed, Authentix will provide a comprehensive banknote security solution.
