Built-in Arculus Authenticate® enables FIDO2-certified, zero-trust, hardware-bound authentication; provides a frictionless, elevated user experience
LAS VEGAS (November 11, 2025) – Sightline Payments® announced today that every Sightline Debit card will include CompoSecure’s Arculus Authenticate®, a FIDO2-certified authentication solution designed to protect customers and operators from fraud and identity theft.
When enabled, Arculus Authenticate turns every debit card into a hardware security device. With hardware-based cryptographic keys NFC-enabled verification, and Common Criteria EAL6+ (CC EAL6+) certified security, the technology combines bank-grade protections with multi-factor authentication. The Sightline Debit Card with Arculus enhances both security and user experience by allowing customers to simply tap their card on the back of their phone to authorize transactions, adding confidence, convenience, and peace of mind to every transaction.
For operators, this can mean significantly less fraud, fewer account recovery/password reset tickets, and a stronger security posture. Patrons get passwordless, tap-to-verify logins, transaction confirmations, and stronger identity protection.
“Arculus helps strengthen both security and confidence by enhancing the tools customers already use every day,” said Jon Wilk, President and CEO of CompoSecure. “A debit card that doubles as a hardware passkey, with a simple tap-to-authenticate experience adds powerful protection, creating a safer, more trusted, frictionless experience for consumers and operators alike.”
“Innovation in payments is only meaningful when it’s led by security,” said Omer Sattar, co-founder and CEO of Sightline Payments. “With Arculus Authenticate available on Sightline Debit, we’re giving users a higher standard of protection and giving operators a modern security layer they can stand behind. This is how cashless payments move forward—with security and innovation combined.”
When operators activate Arculus Authenticate in Sightline Debit cards, they turn on:
• Phishing-resistant authentication: Hardware-bound passkeys defend against phishing, SIM-swapping, credential-stuffing, and other social-engineering attacks.
• Passwordless access: Tap-to-verify replaces usernames, email addresses, passwords, and SMS codes.
• Institutional-level security: CC EAL6+ and FIDO2 certifications build modern, zero-trust protections into every card.
• Patron convenience: Users get a simple and secure way to bank, spend, and play across desktop and mobile.
• Stronger operator outcomes: Institutional-level security helps reduce fraud and supports stronger compliance across channels.
All Sightline Debit cards ship with the Arculus Authenticate applet embedded on the chip module, and each gaming operator can choose whether to enable its functionality.
