Moniepoint MFB Prioritizes Digital Payment Security, Introduces Multi Factor Authentication
Sep 23, 2024 at 07:04 am
Nigeria's definitive bank for small and medium-sized businesses, as well as their customers and employees, Moniepoint Microfinance Bank has made securing
Moniepoint Microfinance Bank, Nigeria’s leading bank for small and medium-sized businesses, their customers, and employees, has prioritized securing digital payments by introducing an additional layer of Factor of Authentication for customers making payments.
To achieve this, the bank has introduced Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) on its mobile and web applications, designed to simplify the payment experience, increase transaction success rates, and significantly enhance security for consumers and businesses.
The MFA, which will apply to transactions over the sum of five hundred thousand naira and five million naira on the Moniepoint Personal Banking and Business Banking apps respectively, combines the ease of seamless payment experience with robust security measures, meeting both customer aspirations for convenience and regulator’s stringent authentication requirements.
Moniepoint’s MFA leverages advanced device-based biometric technology, such as fingerprint or facial recognition and token-based Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) to authenticate payments swiftly and securely.
According to Babatunde Olofin, Managing Director, Moniepoint MFB, “At Moniepoint, we take pride in serving the financial services ecosystem by consistently leading the way, bringing innovative payment solutions that are safe, secure and easy to adopt, aligning with our vision of creating financial happiness across Nigeria.
“When people’s accounts are safe, the feeling of safety permeates and fuels the happiness that they experience across other areas of their lives.”
Olofin continues, “we fully recognize the potential and impact of multi-factor authentication (MFA) in unlocking opportunities for innovative and secure payment solutions, all while maintaining the highest levels of customer trust.
“This solution further demonstrates our dedication to customer-centricity, keeping in step with regulatory requirements and compliance while deploying solutions that meet the evolving needs of our users.”
Traditionally, financial institutions have deployed three methods of authenticating clients that include card & PIN, digital login and password, and knowledge-based questions.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) typically requires two or more forms of identity verification, such as something you know (password, key code, question), something you possess (phone/email code, token, physical key), or something you are (fingerprint, biometrics).
It will be recalled that earlier this year, Monieppoint introduced a USSD code, *5573# to increase security, convenience and accessibility while safeguarding customer funds in case of loss or theft of mobile phones.
When existing customers, encompassing business and personal accounts, log onto their mobile banking app, they will receive a prompt and or notification to update their settings with a biometric credential in order to activate this feature.
Financial experts have commended this latest move by Moniepoint, as the MFA system balances security with user experience whether you have a feature phone or own the latest smartphone device.
By implementing MFA, consumers are not only safeguarding their personal, financial and professional data but also taking a stand for a safer online world.
