Trust Stamp President Andrew Gowasack joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the rollout of the company’s proprietary biometric-binding technology, positioning it as the critical solution to systemic failures in age-verification laws that are increasingly collapsing under real-world pressures. As governments worldwide push for stronger online safety measures, existing age-verification systems have proven inadequate. According to Gowasack, most current solutions rely on weak proxies—such as verifying a device, browser, or IP address—and then pretending this equals verifying a person. These approaches create security loopholes that can be easily exploited, leaving companies exposed to both regulatory penalties and reputational harm. Trust Stamp’s newly launched solution, TrustedAge™, directly addresses these flaws. Unlike traditional systems—likened by Gowasack to a “paper ticket, easily copied or passed around”—TrustedAge functions as a biometric key permanently bound to a single user. A live biometric capture confirms that the rightful owner is present for every login session, rendering the credential useless to anyone else. The urgency for a viable solution is clear. Gowasack noted that recent challenges in the UK with VPN-based circumvention are a preview of the chaos heading to the United States, where more than two dozen states are rolling out legislation mandating age verification. Companies face potential fines of up to $10,000 per violation, creating what Gowasack called a “compliance nightmare.” Trust Stamp’s technology offers a ready-to-deploy answer. After a one-time verification, the credential is permanently bound to the individual. Subsequent access requires only a quick, live selfie check—without storing sensitive biometric data. This ensures that the age credential is non-transferable, immune to theft or sharing, and closes compliance loopholes that leave companies vulnerable to both legal and financial risk. With TrustedAge, Trust Stamp positions itself at the forefront of solving one of the most urgent challenges in digital safety: enforcing age verification in a way that works, scales, and protects privacy. #proactiveinvestors #truststamp #nasdaq #idai #IdentityTech #DigitalIdentity #Fintech #GhanaID #SouthKoreaStartup #AsiaExpansion #KStartupChallenge #FinancialServices #Biometrics #TechExpansion #ProactiveInvestors #AndrewGowasack
