Economic Reporter :
Citi announced on Thursday the launch of MobilePASS, a new digital solution that eliminates the need for corporate users to carry physical tokens for logins, according to a statement of the US-based bank.
MobilePASS is an app-based soft token that enables users to leverage their own smartphones to generate dynamic passcodes without any network connectivity to log into Citi’s award-winning range of institutional e-banking platforms, including CitiDirect BE, CitiDirect BE Mobile and CitiDirect BE Tablet.
Traditionally, corporate users were required to carry a physical hardware token to generate login passcodes, which act as secure authentication to access their accounts and transactions on CitiDirect BE.
A separate physical token is no longer necessary with MobilePASS, which is available on all smartphones. MobilePASS combines faster logins and strong security to provide a more convenient omni-channel institutional banking experience.
Citi was the first global bank to launch a soft token smartphone solution to its multinational corporate clients across 80+ countries globally. In Asia, MobilePASS is now available in Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam.
