Jetco, the bank consortium chartered to develop innovative and secure financial technology services for over 30 member banks in Hong Kong and Macau, has selected Gemalto’s Ezio Mobile Suite for mobile Peer-to-Peer payments in Hong Kong. Gemalto’s solution, integrated with JETCO’s mobile application, provides strong authentication, data encryption and advanced protection against malware attacks. Users can seamlessly make fund transfer directly from their bank accounts to their friends via P2P payments using mobile numbers. JETCO Hong Kong CEO Angus Choi said Gemalto’s Ezio solution not only reduces time to market, but also fully complies with Hong Kong Monetary Authority’s security requirements. Gemalto Greater China and Korea president Suzanne Tong-Li said that with a wide portfolio of secured mobile banking and payment solutions, Gemalto can help JETCO to grow its ecosystem further, offering next-generation services such as card less withdrawals and payments, eCommerce and mPOS-based payments.
