AMSTERDAM, Apr 9, 2014 - (ACN Newswire) - Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader in digital security, announces that Banco Nacional de Panama (Banconal) has deployed Gemalto's Ezio(R) Multi-channel Authentication Solution to secure its growing eBanking and mBanking operations. Banco Nacional de Panama is the country's largest public bank in number of customers and assets. The highly versatile Ezio eBanking Server gives Banco Nacional de Panama full freedom of choice to combine access token and software solutions to answer the needs of their diverse customer segments.
Banco Nacional de Panama contracted Cable & Wireless, Gemalto's business partner in Panama, to offer fully-scalable, multi-channel eBanking security to its entire customer base. Ezio Mobile App is transforming smartphones and tablets into strong authentication devices giving retail banking customers an easy, at-the-fingertips solution for improved security and transaction convenience.
Corporate eBanking users are leveraging the Ezio Slim Optical Token[1] for secure authentication and transaction signing. Users simply place the device close to their PC screen to allow the reader's optical sensors to register transaction details transmitted through a dynamic on-screen barcode. As the Banco Nacional de Panama solution evolves, the Ezio Slim Optical Token will also allow corporate eBanking users to conveniently and digitally authenticate regulatory filings and eCommerce transactions.
"Gemalto's Ezio suite perfectly meets our wide variety of needs to authenticate identity, as well as securely sign transactions and documents, with the convenience of Internet and mobile banking," said Enrique Guadamuz, Executive Manager of Innovations and Technology, Banco Nacional de Panama. "Its unrivaled scalability and user-friendliness is making a substantial impact and increasing our customer confidence and adoption. The Ezio Authentication back-end also proved to be very swift and smooth to install meeting our challenging time schedule."
"Banco Nacional de Panama is leading the mobile banking innovation in Central America and setting the highest standard for eBanking security with the Gemalto Ezio solution," said Herve Bayle, Vice President of eBanking for the Americas at Gemalto. "With mobile tokens and optical functionality for added convenience, Gemalto's modular, flexible approach is perfectly suited to help Banco Nacional de Panama meet the increasing demand for online and mobile banking in the region."
[1] The Ezio Slim Optical Token and Ezio Mobile Token meet the OATH and OCRA international standards. The Ezio Token is also available in the form of EMV card readers, compliant with all international standards including MasterCard CAP and Visa DPA.
