Gemalto announces that BBVA Bancomer is using its Ezio® Suite to secure growing internet banking and mobile banking usage in Mexico. The new solution leverages the benefits of Ezio optical technologies to validate transactions. Fraud, social engineering and phishing attacks present a difficult challenge. The Ezio Suite gives banks the power and flexibility to quickly deploy authentication and transaction signing solutions to defend against attack, while maintaining best in class user experience.

The Gemalto Ezio eBanking solution for BBVA Bancomer allows customers to use a password and a token, either physical or mobile stored in a smartphone or tablet, for strong two-factor authentication (2FA). The bank now adds an optical feature leveraging WYSWYS methodology (What You See is What You Sign), which provides a third factor to defend against attacks during new payee registration.

The solution is designed to be easy to use: customers simply select "mobile QR token" or "optical reading token" options during the new payee registration process. The solution generates a time-limited optical or QR Code that is read optically with the user’s token or mobile device to authenticate the transaction and deliver convenience and trust.
