mBank Poland deploys HID Global’s multi-factor authentication

BANGALORE, INDIA: HID Global today announced that mBank, a leading Polish Bank (owned by Commerzbank), has successfully deployed HID Global's ActivID DisplayCard Tokens. The tokens provide mBank's corporate banking customers with an advanced, multi-factor authentication solution to securely access their Internet and mobile banking accounts.

Headquartered in Warsaw, Poland, mBank is amongst the pioneers for corporate banking services in the country. mBank was seeking a highly secure, convenient and innovative Internet and mobile banking authentication solution that was easy to deploy.

HID Global's ActivID DisplayCard Tokens were selected by mBank based on these stringent requirements and HID Global's unique, patented algorithm that was interoperable with mBank's back-end system. Further, HID Global was recognized by the bank as a reputable brand that offered strong authentication and advanced fraud protection based on its long-standing relationship and successful implementations over the last 10 years.

"Thanks to HID Global, we are able to offer our corporate banking customers an improved, convenient and higher security multi-factor authentication method when accessing their accounts on the Internet and on their mobile phones," said Aleksander Gawroński, Electronic Banking director with mBank.

The ActivID DisplayCard Token has enabled mBank to offer its corporate banking customers a customized, credit card style authentication solution. The token includes a touchpad for secure PIN entry that can fit in customers' wallets easily, making it highly portable and allowing access to their Internet bank accounts anytime, anywhere. Providing this enhanced customer satisfaction has resulted in mBank continuing to retain its customer loyalty. The ActivID DisplayCard also eliminates the need for special readers and is an all-in-one solution that delivers a cost-effective solution to mBank.

Based on its continued successful relationship with HID Global, mBank is looking to further collaborate with the company to extend its corporate banking offering to include new, advanced solutions for its retail banking customers.
