About OneSpan Inc.
About OneSpan Inc.
OneSpan generated approximately 79% of its 2025 revenue outside the United States, alongside 54% of operating expenses, serving more than 60% of the world's 100 largest banks through its Cybersecurity and Digital Agreements software divisions. The company processes over 100 million digital agreements and billions of secure authentication transactions annually across more than 120 countries, with its top 10 customers contributing 18% of 2025 worldwide revenue.
OneSpan sells primarily through a subscription licensing model across cloud and on-premises deployments, distributed through a direct sales force alongside distributors, resellers, systems integrators, and OEMs. The Cybersecurity segment includes Digipass hardware authenticators and FIDO2 passwordless software, though revenue from Digipass hardware has declined from 78% of total sales in 2015 to 20% in 2025 as bank customers shift to mobile-first software authentication; the Digital Agreements segment, including OneSpan Sign e-signature and identity verification, is entirely cloud-based. OneSpan expanded its portfolio through the June 2025 acquisition of Nok Nok Labs, a FIDO passwordless authentication provider, a $100 million MUFG Bank credit facility signed the same month, and a December 2025 agreement to acquire Build38, a mobile application protection provider expected to close in March 2026. The company competes against Gemalto (Thales), RSA Security, and Yubico in authentication, and against DocuSign and Adobe in e-signature, both of which OneSpan says are significantly larger.
Show full overview
OneSpan's Digipass hardware business depends on a limited number of suppliers for critical microprocessor components and on third-party manufacturers concentrated in Southern China, with one additional factory in Romania, a global supply chain the company says could be disrupted by tariffs, geopolitical conflict, or component shortages of the kind experienced during 2021-2022. Because microprocessors are described in the 10-K as not readily available as commodity items on the open market, prolonged disruption at any one supplier or factory could delay Digipass production even as the company shifts more of its revenue mix toward software-based authentication that doesn't depend on hardware manufacturing.
