Gemalto announces that Nedbank Ltd, a
commercial bank in South Africa, is deploying its Ezio eBanking
solution to provide their wholesale customers with unmatched online
transaction security and superior convenience. Gemalto also provides
Nedbank with consulting services, device fulfilment to the end users,
and operates remote management of the tokens on behalf of Nedbank
Ltd.
With this fully outsourced solution, Nedbank users
simply connect a USB key, which launches a “safe zone” that
permits to securely review, approve and digitally sign all types of
transactions in a protected online environment
The Ezio Corporate eBanking PKI solution requires no
software installation, eliminating costly technical support while
guaranteeing high user satisfaction. The user simply connects the USB
key to their PC or Mac and the device launches a “safe zone” that
permits to securely review, approve and digitally sign all types and
amounts of banking transactions within a protected online
environment. Ezio also ensures session integrity even if the
connection platform is vulnerable. The upgradable, multi-application
platform can be remotely managed, enabling the bank to update
certificates and deploy new services without the need for new
hardware.
“We have implemented and operated Gemalto’s
PKI solutions for over ten years, with a very high level of success
in providing secure electronic banking solutions,” said Fred
Swanepoel, Chief Information Officer of Nedbank Ltd. “In an
effort to offer best-in-class Wholesale Banking solutions to our
business customers, we have deployed Gemalto’s brand new PKI
solution, launched as the Plug and Transact TokenTM, to
differentiate ourselves from our competitors by offering secure
solutions with enhanced client usability as well improved tracking
and business information.”
“There has always been high demand from
Nedbank to pioneer our eBanking solutions, with each trial resulting
in a full-scale deployment,” added said Håkan Nordfjell, Senior
Vice President e-Banking and e-Commerce at Gemalto. “By outsourcing
its entire token management system, Nedbank benefits from significant
cost reduction in terms of initial investment and running expenses
compared to an in-house solution.”
Nedbank’s solution is built on Gemalto’s
field-proven Ezio technology, which is already implemented by over
200 financial institutions worldwide and used by over 100 million
banking customers worldwide.
