The partnership is to extend secure mobile banking and payment services to Nigeria’s under and un-banked population through their customer base across the financial services sector.
The Central Bank of Nigeria has issued new, stringent security requirements for mobile financial management and insisted both the financial institutions and their distribution networks to take a level of responsibility in protecting the end users. The central bank’s directives require secure SMS with multiple levels of authentication and encryption along with a clear audit trail for compliancy.
Adeyinka Oyewumi, managing director of Maxim-Pro, said: “CellTrust SecureSMS adds significant value to our banking platform by providing mobile security required to launch a mobile banking solution in Nigeria and the entire region.”
Samuel Ucheaga, managing director of CellTrust Africa, said: “We are pleased to provide Maxim-Pro with the latest secure mobile messaging solution to secure and mobile enable their successful banking platform.”
