Gemalto has been selected by BancNet to secure its mobile banking services. BancNet is a Philippines-based interbank network of 116 local and international banks, serving more than 40 million cardholders. Gemalto’s Ezio Authentication Server and Mobile token will allow BancNet customers to pay their bills, check account balance and transfer funds from their accounts with any member bank, using their computers and mobile devices to perform dynamic, multi-layer authentication and transaction verification.
“We chose Gemalto because they are a leader in user authentication, with a proven track record in the Philippines,” said Aristeo Zafra, Jr., BancNet GM and COO. “Their solution will enable our customers to access their bank accounts using mobile devices as their primary authentication device, with a greater sense of security. They would not need to carry or register multiple tokens.”
“In Philippines, 88% of the total mobile Internet population is under the age of 35. With smartphone penetration expected to triple to 50% by 2015, BancNet has an enormous opportunity to tap into this enthusiastic generation,” said Michael Au, President South Asia and Japan at Gemalto.

Billions of people want better lifestyles, smarter living environments, and the freedom to communicate, shop, travel, bank, entertain and work – anytime, everywhere – in ways that are enjoyable and safe. In this fast moving mobile and digital environment, we enable companies and administrations to offer a wide range of trusted and convenient services by securing financial transactions, mobile services, public and private clouds, eHealthcare systems, access to eGovernment services, the Internet and internet-of-things and transport ticketing systems.
