PCI Pal Introduces Passkey Customer Authentication Capability PCI Pal introduced passkey customer authentication that will enable organizations to establish verified customer identity at the start of every interaction. The new capability complements PCI Pal’s existing payment security solutions, extending protection to the identity verification stage of the customer journey and helping to reduce fraud risk and friction for both customers and agents. It enables businesses to establish trusted identity before sensitive conversations take place and maintain security throughout the customer journey, including the payment moment. By replacing vulnerable knowledge-based authentication (KBA) methods, such as security questions and PINs, with passkey authentication, organizations can address a common vulnerability in the customer engagement security chain. Authentication is triggered during calls, chats, or other digital sessions, with identity confirmed before human agents, AI agents, or automated systems proceed with sensitive requests or payments. Using biometrics or device-bound credentials, customers verify their identity in seconds - without passwords, shared secrets, or reset delays - reducing friction while strengthening security from the start of each interaction. Delivered through a unified architecture and single API framework, the capability integrates into both agent-assisted and automated systems including IVR and conversational AI bots. It provides a common authentication layer that can be consumed consistently across human and AI-led journeys, helping organizations reduce fraud risk, improve customer experience, and protect downstream interactions including payments.

PCI Pal Strengthens Healthcare Ecosystem Support with HIPAA-Aligned Security Framework PCI Pal® reinforced its support for the healthcare sector with alignment to HIPAA requirements, further extending a security framework already trusted by organizations operating in highly regulated environments. Rather than a standalone milestone, adherence to HIPAA requirements builds on PCI Pal’s established, enterprise-grade security architecture, underpinned by SOC 2 Type II and HITRUST assurance, and brings additional alignment to the specific requirements of healthcare ecosystems. In practice, this is about more than meeting a regulatory standard. As healthcare organizations modernize patient engagement, the challenge is no longer just securing individual systems, but ensuring sensitive data remains protected as it moves across increasingly complex, integrated environments. From contact centers and digital channels to conversational AI and electronic health record (EHR) platforms, patient interactions span multiple technologies, each introducing potential risk. PCI Pal’s platform is designed to secure these engagements end-to-end, enabling compliant payment experiences to be embedded directly within real-world clinical and administrative workflows. This is particularly important as payments and patient data converge. While many organizations assume compliance across their technology stack, gaps can often emerge at integration points, especially where payment processes intersect with systems handling protected health information (PHI). PCI Pal addresses this challenge directly, providing a secure layer that ensures sensitive data is handled appropriately across the entire interaction journey. For partners, the impact is immediate. Healthcare remains a high growth but complex vertical, where compliance requirements can slow adoption and extend sales cycles. PCI Pal’s HIPAA-aligned approach gives partners the confidence to deploy integrated solutions into healthcare environments more efficiently, reducing friction in procurement and enabling expansion into compliance-sensitive use cases. As healthcare organizations continue to evolve their digital strategies, the focus is shifting from individual compliance checkpoints to consistent, end-to-end assurance across interconnected systems. PCI Pal’s approach reflects that shift, delivering security that is embedded, scalable, and designed for the realities of modern healthcare environments. Reported Earnings • Mar 09

PCI Pal Announces Accelerated Development of Model Context Protocol (MCP) Support to Enable Smarter Conversational AI Product Integrations PCI Pal announced its accelerated development plans for Model Context Protocol (MCP) for Conversational AI services. This advancement, expected to be fully available in the coming months, strengthens PCI Pal's position as the preferred partner to communications providers seeking to secure conversations and payments across any communications channel. MCP is an open-source standard that defines a universal method for AI models, including large language models and agentic AI systems, to connect with external data sources, tools, and third-party services. As the volume of AI-driven customer engagement increases, enterprises and communications providers face a critical challenge: how to empower autonomous systems to complete sensitive actions, such as taking payments, verifying identity, or authenticating customers, securely, compliantly, all without disrupting the customer experience. Achieving this requires seamless integration into existing conversational workflows while preserving the highest levels of compliance, trust, and service quality. PCI Pal's MCP capabilities are designed to reduce deployment friction across automated conversational channels. Through a single, MCP-aligned integration partners will be able to embed PCI Pal's secure payment and customer interaction workflows consistently across voice bots and chat bots without custom development for each new experience. With the majority of PCI Pal's customers serviced via its extensive partner ecosystem, PCI Pal's approach is actively vendor-agnostic, enabling partners and customers to innovate without the constraints of proprietary AI ecosystems. This stands in contrast to other market offerings that rely on tight coupling with a single AI platform, creating vendor lock-in and limiting the pace of customer-experience innovation. By remaining vendor agnostic, PCI Pal ensures that enterprises can access critical payment and security capabilities whenever and wherever they need them, while retaining full freedom over which conversational AI systems they choose to adopt. This commitment to openness is central to PCI Pal's technology strategy and reinforces its role as the leading provider of secure, compliant, multi-channel payment solutions in modern CX environments.

Victory in Court of Appeal. Following the Company's announcement on 22 May 2024 that the Court of Appeal had dismissed Sycurio's appeal, upholding the original ruling of the High Court, which was resoundingly in PCI Pal's favour, the Company advises investors that the judgment has now been handed down and is publicly available . Sycurio patent invalid: This order means that the ruling of the High Court invalidating Sycurio's UK patent (No. 2473376) stands and the patent has been revoked. The Company notes that the High Court had also ruled that even in the event that the patent had been valid, none of PCI Pal's deployment methods of its Agent Assist solution would have infringed. Payments to PCI Pal for costs: The Company can now confirm that it has received a cash payment of the interim costs awarded by the High Court on 19 December 2023 of £1.1 million.

The Company will assess its potential next steps with its advisors and update investors in due course. The case in the US continues as expected with the trial scheduled for February 2025.

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 9.7% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Negative equity (-UK£4.7m). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable next year (UK£1.2m net loss next year). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (9.7% increase in shares outstanding).
