Gemalto, the world leader in digital security, today announced that InterSwitch is deploying its complete Ezio strong authentication solution to secure their e-payment services in Nigeria. InterSwitch is a leading provider of secure electronic payment solutions in Nigeria and comprises 25 member banks. Gemalto supplied its Ezio Strong Authentication Server and acted as server integration partner. The company also delivers EMV card readers and unconnected tokens, all customized with InterSwitch's visual corporate identity. With Gemalto's scalable solution, InterSwitch enables banking customers to perform secure e-transactions either using their EMV card and reader or a token.
 
Ezio enables InterSwitch member banks to enhance security for e-commerce by replacing static passwords with strong authentication.

They can also access online banking services, such as fund transfer, with increased security.
 
"We launched our EMV migration program with Gemalto and the company has proven a reliable partner," commented Mitchell Elegbe, Managing Director, InterSwitch. "This success contributed to creating a strong business relationship and this is why we selected Gemalto for our strong authentication program".
 
"Gemalto is proud to supply InterSwitch with an easy-to-use, end-to-end solution that enables users to buy and sell over the Internet, confident that their personal details are private and protected," added Jacques Seneca, executive vice president of the Security Business Unit for Gemalto. "With our scalable solution, users get the device that is perfectly tailored to their needs."
