Gemalto provides Banrisul Bank with Ezio solution for highly secure Mobile Banking
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Amsterdam, Jan. 27, 2015 - Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader
in digital security, announces that the Banco do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul
(Banrisul) has deployed Gemalto's Ezio(®) Multi-Channel Authentication Solution
to secure its expanding mBanking services. Banrisul is a leading financial
institution in Brazil and will enable all of its 3.9 million customers to
perform secure banking transactions using their smartphone or tablet with the
highly versatile Ezio platform.
Gemalto Ezio Authentication Server provides back-end authentication to secure
Banrisul's online and mobile banking operations. The Ezio Mobile Token
Application provides highly secure software that transforms mobile phones and
tablets into strong authentication devices. The Mobile Token app implements
leading security standards and is now integrated into the Banrisul mBanking
solution. It generates One-Time Passwords (OTP) and transaction signatures,
enabling seamless authentication of users across all banking channels using
their own mobile device.
According to the Brazilian Banking Federation, mobile banking experienced
exponential growth of 184% in 2013 boosted by the wide use of smartphones in all
social classes. The number of Internet and mobile banking transactions has
already surpassed those facilitated in bank branches, ATMs and contact centers
combined(1).
"Our collaboration with Gemalto started with the EMV and PKI solutions, which
combine secure transactions and digital signature authentication in one smart
card," said Jorge Krug, IT Security Superintendent, Banrisul. "The integration
of Ezio technology into the Banrisul mBanking solution is the ideal option to
keep Banrisul at the forefront of simple, secure mobile solutions that enhance
our customers' experience and streamline our operations."
"Our scalable solutions are being deployed to meet Banrisul's ongoing needs as
mobile banking continues to grow toward becoming as widespread as Internet
banking in Brazil," said Hervé Bayle, Vice-President, eBanking, Americas,
Gemalto. "Our Ezio solution will be embedded into Banrisul's banking app to
further simplify and secure transactions, taking advantage of the infrastructure
already in place."
