Landbouwkrediet/ Credit Agricole is also a loan credit provider to the agricultural sector. To secure access for its 55,000 customers to the online application, the bank wanted to deploy a two-factor authentication solution and has chosen Vasco’s Digipass 250.
With ‘Crelan-online.be’, customers can directly access their accounts at the Belgium-based bank from any PC with an internet browser. The application allows customers to consult their investment portfolio and current and savings accounts, make money transactions and pay bills online, anywhere at any time. To access ‘Crelan-online.be’, the bank’s end-users must possess a Digipass authenticator.
Rik Duyck, managing director of Landbouwkrediet/ Credit Agricole, said: “We chose Vasco because the company’s solution fit all of our requirements. Security and user-friendliness were our top priorities. The transaction signing function of DIGIPASS adds an extra security layer.
“Vasco’s Digpasssolution was the ‘best buy’ as its use is self-explanatory and the company itself has a proven track record in the financial world. Furthermore, integration with our back-end infrastructure and hardware security module (HSM) went smoothly thanks to the HSM compliancy and the excellent documentation of the Vacman Controller API.”
Vasco is a supplier of strong authentication and e-signature solutions and services specializing in internet security applications and transactions.
