Gemalto says that it has inked a deal to incorporate its Mobile Financial Services on Texas Instruments' OMAP platform and M-Shield security technology for mobile devices. Applications can be secured with strong two-factor authentication - verifying the user and the phone - which requires the user to enter securely a personal identification number (PIN) prior to gaining access to financial services applications.

"Gemalto's Mobile Financial Services applications are currently used by millions of people around the globe," stated Philippe Valle, Executive Vice President, Telecommunications Business Unit, Gemalto. "This partnership with an industry leader like TI to place secure software within an OMAP platform provides the end customer of our combined offering the ability to enjoy the convenience of banking from their mobile device while resting assured that the application they are using is secure."

"This integration brings together the domain expertise of companies with a long history of serving the banking, telecommunications and mobile industry," added Dominique Bolignano, President of Trusted Logic. "This combined effort enables to now demonstrate a complete and immediately operational solution for m-banking, with a strong level of integration and end-to-end security."

Gemalto acquired Trusted Logic in September 2009.

Bank of Kigali to Introduce SMS Banking - TMCnet

TMCNet: Bank of Kigali to Introduce SMS Banking

Kigali, Mar 22, 2010 (The New Times/All Africa Global Media via COMTEX) -- Bank of Kigali (BK) will launch Short Message Service (SMS) banking this month to assist its clients to easily access their bank accounts, the bank's Marketing Manager, Januario Mucyo, said on Thursday.

The Rwf30m project targets 56,000 subscribers by the end of this year with 560, 000 transactions per month.

Mucyo said, the bank intends to work with all telecom operators but at the moment they will start with MTN Rwanda.

"Depending on the cost of an SMS from a particular telecom operator, we will be subsidizing the cost for alerts and responses (transactions), and the cost will also depend on the number of services that the user has applied for," Mucyo explained.

He added that the product involves a wide range of services including requesting for account balance, account movement alerts and forwarding information about a transaction that occurred on the account.

It will also facilitate account statement request, check book request and electricity voucher request.

How the service will work The first step is sending a pull SMS - where a user sends a request to the bank. The bank then responds through a push SMS- a message from an SMS banking application server to the clients mobile phone.

Australia & Nz Bank. Anz Completes Acquisition Of Rbs ... - NASDAQ

Posted: 22 Mar 2010 12:12 AM PDT


 
 TIDM67DC RNS Number : 9217I Australia & New Zealand Banking Grp 22 March 2010 ? Media Release For Release: 22 March 2010 ANZ completes acquisition of RBS retail and commercial businesses in Hong Kong - launches new priority service for affluent retail customers - ANZ today announced it had completed the acquisition of The Royal Bank of Scotland's (RBS) retail and commercial businesses in Hong Kong. To coincide with the completion ANZ launched a new service to meet the needs of affluent retail customers - ANZ Signature Priority Banking - which it will roll out across Asia Pacific over the next 18 months. The first ANZ Signature Priority Banking branch was launched in Central Hong Kong at the International Finance Centre (IFC), one of six ANZ branches now open for business in Hong Kong. In Hong Kong for the launch, ANZ CEO Asia Pacific, Europe and America Alex Thursby said: "The RBS integration is progressing to plan and today we welcome more than 40,000 customers and 350 staff in Hong Kong. "Our business here is particularly important in connecting customers across Greater China, as well as across our Asia Pacific network, Australia, New Zealand, Europe and America." Features of the new ANZ Signature Priority Banking service, which is available for individuals in Hong Kong with assets greater than HK$1 million to invest, include: · individual service through a personal relationship manager, access

to investment and portfolio management specialists, and 24-hour phone and internet banking; · full banking and wealth management services including savings, current accounts, investment products, insurance, mortgages and personal loans; and · international banking and investments, including services in Australia,

New Zealand and across ANZ's regional Asia Pacific network. "ANZ has a different philosophy to many banks in the retail and wealth market," Mr Thursby said. "With ANZ Signature Priority Banking we will be spending more time building relationships with clients and really getting to know their needs and individual goals, rather than simply selling them products. "We will also give these clients the stability and confidence of ANZ's stability and safety, including our AA-rating." Mr Thursby said ANZ would also be focusing on growing its commercial banking business in Hong Kong: "ANZ has a very strong heritage in commercial banking, and we'll provide a relationship-led service for our new commercial clients, backed by our institutional product range and network across more than 30 countries globally." .../2 - 2 - ANZ has re-branded the former RBS Hong Kong branches and brought customers and staff across to ANZ with minimal disruption. Former RBS customers retain their existing relationship managers and can continue to access branches, ATMs and internet banking facilities as usual. Hong Kong is the third of six markets to transition to ANZ ownership after the RBS acquisition was completed in the Philippines and Vietnam in late 2009. ANZ is acquiring the RBS retail and commercial businesses in Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia and Hong Kong, and the institutional businesses in Taiwan, the Philippines and Vietnam.
