HID powers secure mobile banking for Santander International
HID is recognised by Santander International as an experienced provider of strong customer authentication , and is proud to be a trusted security partner .
HID ’ s collaboration with Santander International was borne out of its own long-standing partnership with Temenos . When Santander International selected Temenos for its digital banking platform , HID was brought on board as a provider of strong customer authentication . “ Many of our authentication features are seamlessly integrated with the Temenos banking platform , and this was a great fit for Santander International ,” explains Caleb Wattles , Senior Product Manager at HID . “ In the case of Santander International , they implemented HID solutions to protect their web banking and mobile banking channels . We ’ re proud to be a trusted Santander International security partner .”
HID : A trusted security partner
HID has helped Santander International transform its banking experience from web to mobile using its mobile client SDK , which is fully integrated into Santander International ’ s banking application . Called HID Approve , the mobile
SDK supports login and transaction signing for a smooth , secure authentication experience . “ Santander International actually transformed from using our off-the-shelf mobile authenticator client to embedding the technology stack directly into their mobile application ,” adds Wattles . “ This highlights how each customer has their unique requirements , and how HID can meet the customer wherever they are in their digital transformation journey .”
Continued collaboration
Banks are navigating a testing cybersecurity landscape , often having to adhere to regulations and work within their own IT infrastructure . What ’ s more , they face the pressure of having to deliver products and services with exceptional user experience , while trying to stay one step ahead of a faceless cohort of cyber criminals . Wattles concludes : “ This highlights that HID understands banks have a wide range of needs , and our goal is to provide the tools to empower banks to protect their customers and their reputation . “ As Santander International continues its digital transformation , we look forward to supporting them along the way .”
