Holistic fraud protection through e-signing

detection and e- specialist Softpro presents its solutions at the major IT event CeBIT 2009, taking place in Hannover, Germany from 3 to 8 March, states Open PR.

The signature experts will showcase their holistic prevention suite SignPlus as well as their next-generation signature tablet, SignPad, at the Signature Pavilion in hall 17, stand G04. They will also display an innovative end-to-end electronic account-opening application.

Signatures have experienced a comeback as they offer what PINs or other biometrics such as fingerprints can not: they are a non-intrusive proof of intent.

Temenos T24 chosen by Fichosa

Ficohsa has selected Temenos T24 to support its retail and corporate banking operations, servicing 650 000 accounts across 88 branches in Honduras and the US, writes Banking Tech.

Banco Ficohsa signed the deal in December last year, making it the first privately-owned commercial bank in Central America to implement T24.

The bank also selected Temenos ARC Internet banking and mobile modules from Temenos' suite of front office applications.

US mobile banking grows significantly

If anyone has any doubt that mobile banking is growing, all they have to do is look at US mobile figures from ABI Research, which show the number of users jumped from 400 000 in 2007 to 3.1 million last year, reports eMarketer.

“Mobile financial services have the potential to be bigger than mobile TV and premium mobile content in terms of numbers of subscribers,” said ABI analyst Mark Beccue.

“Almost anybody over the age of 18 is a potential user.”
