Payfone, the world’s leading digital identity authentication network, and the GSMA, a trade body representing mobile network operators worldwide, announced today a new partnership to bring fast, frictionless and fraud-free login experiences to companies and their consumers in Spain.
Payfone and the GSMA’s Mobile Connect authentication technology fulfill the need for enterprises in Spain to engage more effectively with their customers. Payfone’s award-winning Trust Platform™ and Trust Score™ replace cumbersome and hackable identity verification processes such as passwords, knowledge-based security questions and SMS one-time passcodes with instant, invisible, and zero-knowledge digital authentication. The deal marks another major milestone for Payfone as it continues its expansion into 35 global markets.
“With Mobile Connect, the mobile industry is fulfilling an important role in the digital identity space, giving users control over their own data and enabling consumers, businesses, and governments alike to interact and access online services in a convenient, private and trusted environment,” said Alex Sinclair, Chief Technology Officer of the GSMA.
Payfone and Mobile Connect’s secure, frictionless authentication technology will be available to Spanish enterprises in mid-February 2019.
