Finance / Insurance Solutions
Driving security in the banking, financial & insurance services sector.

The uptake of online Banking, Internet based payments and transactions have been growing at unprecedented rates. Banking clients from all walks of life are now becoming more comfortable with using technology to perform their banking, payment and investment functions. Increased mobility and the proliferation of mobile and IP based devices have given financial institutions a fast, secure and reliable communications channel to provide financial information to their customer's devices.

It has helped reduce fraud for banks and card issuers by up to 43%. It has also brought about increases in Internet banking security, reduced call center costs, and helped boost client retention for banks by 15%.

 


Banks, card services, investment firms and other financial institutions are able to effectively harness the power of mobile messaging to:

  • Reduce fraud via proactive account activity monitoring e.g. phishing, spoofing, stolen cards.
  • Build consumer confidence and address identity theft concerns through actionable fraud alerts and real-time transaction alerts.
  • Increase traction, grow new markets and attract new customer types e.g. youth market.
  • Increase customer retention and satisfaction through account notifications and access.
  • Achieve overall cost reduction e.g. call-center.

Financial Applications:

Working in conjunction with the messaging platform are extensions to the basic package that allow financial institutions to offer additional services such as:
  • 2-Factor authentication - Additional system security that interacts with the user. For example: following a user transaction e.g. online banking login attempt, a unique code for web-based entry is dispatched to the user via SMS.
  • Card not present - Further online transaction security. Following an online transaction, the user is sent an additional authentication token via SMS and required to enter it online to complete the transaction.
  • Mobile authentication - Secure channel switching from SMS to voice or audio entry of a verification PIN code. This method eliminates any concerns about the PIN code being stored in the device SMS outbox.
  • Mobile payment - Enabling small transactions for peer to peer or person to business payments. Utilizes channel switching and voice based PIN entry as mobile authentication.
  • CRM applications - Intelligent customer callback. Instead of calling the service line to be placed on hold, the customer sends a SMS query and receives a SMS notification stating approximate wait time. The CRM system initiates an agent call back after the indicated time.
  • Marketing and loyalty applications - Interactive Campaign Manager, a 2-way SMS campaign management for mobile marketing campaigns with email marketing tools including click through reporting, template management, and database integration.

Clickatell's financial services solutions has been receiving great acclaim from major banking institutions for over three years. Read more about international case studies or contact our sales team to find out more.
