Built year by year.
BioFi started with a biometric problem and grew a phone, a set of apps and a vault around it. The token sits on top of things that exist.
Who we are
Biometric Financial is the company behind $BioFi. Finnovant, Inc., in California, builds the software: Say-Tec, the apps and PhēnixLoc. BitMobile, a South African company in the Finnovant group, builds and sells the Phēnix X.
