Advantages of implementing mobile for strong SMS authentication

Enhanced security against fraud

By using OTP SMS passwords as an authentication system, companies can be assured that the right person is gaining access to secured applications.  SMS authentication also has a number of advantages when compared with other 2-factor solutions.  These include on-demand passwords, centralized control, a simple user-experience, real-time visibility of usage and the increased security offered by limited validity. SMS also provides cost savings when compared to hardware, software or even paper solutions. 2-factor authentication provides cast-iron guarantees against the risk of attack from malicious software and phishing attacks in a cost effective manner.    

 

Gain consumer trust and reduce cost

Providing extra security measures to protect users personal data and assets increases consumer confidence in such applications. Not only does this increase engagement, but it also reduce customer service and call centre costs.  

 

Improved customer convenience

SMS is a user-friendly, simple and popular communications channel. Using text messaging to transmit OTP and mTAN information means users receive information in a format which they are comfortable with, as it is convenient and can be delivered to customers anytime, from anywhere.
