Leave a comment

The LoginID FIDO2 and UAF certified Strong Customer Authentication platform will provide Data on Tap, Execuvault, NetCents, Global Asset Technology, POS Connect, and FroogalPay customers frictionless, secure biometric logins, removing the need for traditional logins and passwords

SAN MATEO, California, July 14, 2020 — LoginID Inc. has announced new partnerships as part of its launch of FIDO-as-a-Service, for small and medium sized enterprises.  This follows on its recent announcement for the Indonesian market, with eKYC leader, ASLI RI. The new partners announced will integrate the LoginID FIDO2 and UAF certified biometric strong customer authentication in support of various use-cases.

By integrating the LoginID strong customer authentication, partners will now be able to reduce end-user dependency on weak logins and passwords.  According to the FIDO Alliance, 64% of eCommerce customers and 78% of peer to peer transfer users, prefer stronger authentication versus traditional logins and passwords.  With LoginID’s FIDO-as-a-Service, partners will be able to provide their customers additional confidence, and higher security in their daily digital interactions, eliminating passwords and logins.  “Developers and enterprises are looking for very low-lift integrations of leading-edge products. Our FIDO2 and UAF certified strong customer authentication can be integrated in less than an hour, and will provide end-users a frictionless experience” says Simon Law, CEO of LoginID.

Differing from proprietary biometric solutions, the LoginID FIDO2 and UAF certified platform utilizes cryptographic security based on the customer’s device hardware, therefore it is not vulnerable to hacks or OS takeovers.  It works right out of the box, with no additional hardware or downloadable software required by customers.  The customer experience is very simple and intuitive, with a ‘biometric login’ button displayed, where customers can use their fingerprint scanner on their device to login to an application or website.  Customers won’t have to remember passwords or use other weaker forms of logging in. 

Data on Tap is a Canadian based telecom technology company that is developing a digital ecosystem of highly-customized mobile services serving smartphone customers.  “With the LoginID FIDO2 service we will be able to increase digital in-app and web interactions security and where required provide additional authentication and user level control,” says Algis Akstinas, CEO of Data on Tap.  “This will also alleviate any customer concerns around SIM swap attacks, which is becoming more of a prevalent issue for customers”.

Execuvault is a Toronto-based FinTech Startup on a mission to transform the legacy transfer process using blockchain technology. Self-executing smart contracts record the terms of users’ directives and bequests (assets, investments, life insurance policies, and documents— securely stored in a personalized vault); and then validate the criteria for assignment and disbursement. The XV Legacy Transfer Platform automates the division of funds through trusted transactions —which are digitally notarized and irrefutable— and can be carried out among disparate, anonymous parties; without the need for a central authority or external enforcement mechanism.   “We see a lot of flexibility around how we can easily integrate FIDO2 biometrics into our existing customer experience with LoginID” says Brian Kieller, CEO of ExecuVault.

NetCents Technology (CSE: N.C. / Frankfurt: 26N / OTCQB: NTTCF) provides a very simple way for merchants to accept cryptocurrency as a payment option for their customers. By integrating the NetCents crypto payment button, merchants have an easy way to process various cryptocurrencies and as a complement to traditional payment methods.  “Security is top of mind for our merchants and their clients.  Anything we can do to help further secure out interactions with our merchants or their customers, will help increase our future transaction volume,” says Pat Albright, Executive Vice President at NetCents Technology.

FroogalPay is middleware that provides software developers a quick and easy way to accept payments from within their application.  “Our clients not only need the highest standard around security, but we need to ensure that we provide ways to increase conversions.  With LoginID’s FIDO2 biometric button, there are various ways merchants can integrate into their customer journeys, making it simpler and safer for customers to pay while protecting merchants from fraud.” says Jonathan Reinsdorf, CEO of FroogalPay.

Global Asset Technology has developed an asset based crypto token that can be used towards traditional assets.  “With LoginID we will secure our interactions for our institutional clients, who need simple, yet rigorous security that eliminates threats to their accounts from outside parties” says Steve Katmarian, CEO of Global Asset Technology.

POS Connect is a software developer and payment processor which provides merchants and enterprises secure ways to bill and collect payments.  “More and more of our services are global in nature.  Since the FIDO standard is aligned with regulatory standards such as PSD2 and GDPR, our clients will have assurances that services they are providing meet the expectations of the market as it relates to security and privacy” says Marius Kimel, CEO of POS Connect.

Simon Law, CEO of LoginID says “These partners provide a great cross section of the types of businesses that can leverage strong customer authentication by integrating a simple, biometric button.  We expect to see more and more companies like these recognizing how easy it is to protect their customers while at the same time improving the overall experience.”

LoginID will be adding more functions and features for partners and developers as part of its self-serve digital onboarding experience, in the coming weeks.

AMN Passes Milestone of 1 Billion Phone Calls Per Year

Leave a comment

LONDON, July 10, 2020 — Africa Mobile Networks (AMN) is pleased to announce that it now processes more than 1 billion phone calls annually for subscribers in previously unconnected rural areas in Sub-Saharan Africa.

AMN 20m tower in DRC

In June 2020, AMN processed 91,623,222 voice calls, representing an annualised rate of 1.1 billion calls per annum, plus also nearly 6 terabytes (6,000 GB) of data. These services are provided to rural users in Sub-Saharan Africa who previously were mostly unconnected before AMN’s investment in the mobile network infrastructure. AMN now owns and operates approximately 1,200 base stations serving a population of 4 million people in 8 countries: Nigeria, DRC, Cameroon, Guinea, Zambia, Bissau, Liberia and Congo. The 2G/3G/4G mobile network services are provided by AMN on behalf of tier-1 licensed mobile network operators in each country.

AMN is installing new base stations at a rate of about 200 per month and by the end of 2020 will have nearly 2,000 base stations. AMN ultimately aims to deliver mobile network services to over 60 million people in up to 30 countries with more than 20,000 base stations. AMN’s solutions are 100% ubiquitous, without restrictions due to power or backhaul connectivity, and can be deployed at any location throughout the continent with no exceptions.

AMN’s success has been built on ultra-low capex and opex solutions, and an innovative, fully-turnkey Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) commercial model, which enables AMN to deliver mobile network services economically to smaller communities than has ever been possible before. AMN is now able to serve communities as small as 500 people with long-term economic sustainability. All of the major pan-African tier-1 operators partner with AMN to extend their network coverage deep into rural Africa. AMN offers the turnkey NaaS model with both revenue-share and opex commercial models for the operator, where revenue-share means no opex risk as well as no capex investment for the operator and the opex model enables sites to be built at any location specified by the operator.

About AMN

Africa Mobile Networks, established in 2013, is headquartered in the UK with subsidiary operating companies in 10 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. AMN’s vision is for no community of any size in Africa to be without affordable access to essential voice and data telecommunication services. AMN’s mission is to build more than 20,000 mobile network base stations, delivering 2G, 3G and 4G (and later 5G) telecom services to previously-unconnected communities. AMN is backed by Intelsat, operator of the world’s largest integrated satellite and terrestrial network, as an investor, shareholder and provider of access to high-quality and high-throughput satellite capacity across Africa. AMN enjoys a strong partnership with a global internet giant to accelerate the inclusion of 3G/4G services to provide rural users with access to the same information and social media applications enjoyed by the rest of the world.

Leave a comment

Received a Baa1 IFSR Rating of the Company and Baa2 Rating of the Senior Notes with Oversubscription Exceeding 6 Times at Orderbook Peak

HONG KONG, July 10, 2020 — ZhongAn Online P & C Insurance Co., Ltd. ("ZhongAn Online" or "ZhongAn" or the "Company", HKEx: 6060), a leading online InsureTech company in China, today announced the successful pricing of its US$600 million 5-year 3.125% senior unsecured notes (the "Notes") on July 9, 2020, which are expected to be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The Joint Global Coordinators and Joint Bookrunners of this issuance are J.P. Morgan, Credit Suisse, China International Capital Corporation and Morgan Stanley.

This marks ZhongAn’s inaugural public bond issuance in the offshore capital markets. Moody’s Investors Service, a leading international credit rating agency, has assigned a Baa1 insurance financial strength rating (IFSR) to the Company with Stable outlook, and a Baa2 rating to the Notes. Moody’s noted in its rating report that, ZhongAn’s Baa1 IFSR reflects its market presence as the leader in China’s online insurance sector, its strong capitalization, improved product diversification, and low high-risk asset leverage. With stable outlook, Moody’s expects that ZhongAn will continue to maintain strong capitalization and gradually improve its underwriting profitability. Such rating of the Notes does not constitute a recommendation to buy, sell or hold the Notes, does not address the likelihood or timing of prepayment and may be subject to revision, qualification, suspension or withdrawal at any time by Moody’s.

The issuance garnered significant interest from international investors. With an oversubscription exceeding 6 times at orderbook peak, the final price was 285 basis points above the on-the-run 5-year U.S. Treasury bond, tightening by 45 basis points from initial price guidance. In addition, the financing scale of US$600 million is the largest debut USD bond offering by Asian corporates in 2020YTD, and also ranks No. 1 in global InsureTech debt financing. This demonstrates the confidence the capital markets investors have in ZhongAn’s competitive strengths, business model and growth prospects.

Net proceeds from the issuance is intended to be used by the Company for working capital and general corporate purposes. In embracing the "Insurance + Technology" dual engine strategy, ZhongAn will continue to explore numerous application scenarios and capitalize on the vast growth potential of the InsureTech market. Throughout the COVID-19 epidemic, insurance technology has played a significant role in the digital transformation of health insurance and the entire insurance industry. This trend is in line with ZhongAn’s plans for strategic development. Recently, ZhongAn announced a positive profit alert and expected net profit attributable to owners of the Company of the first half of 2020 (the "Period") to increase by no less than 100%. During the Period, the Company’s gross written premiums increased steadily and combined ratio further improved, thus narrowing underwriting loss. This demonstrates the great efforts of the Company to further improve its financial performance.

With the issue of the Notes, ZhongAn believes it will better finance its business development initiatives, while optimizing its capital structure and enhancing international credibility. ZhongAn also believes that its access to diversified financing channels in the future will help sustain the Company’s stable and long-term growth. In addition, the Company believes that the successful notes issue is a positive sign for ZhongAn to strengthen its brand recognition and further expand its international footprint.

maaiiconnect: How to transform customer experience with technology

Leave a comment

HONG KONG, July 7, 2020 — Happy customers drive sales. Recent research finds that customers are willing to pay more for a better customer experience (CX). As customers are no longer only comparing products and prices, CX is the key differentiator that businesses are competing on. But investing in the right software to improve CX isn’t easy when people take into account customer interactions across various channels and touchpoints. 96% of people think businesses need to improve communication.[1] Many brands are failing or falling behind due to poor touch point experiences, and it’s clear that a lot of desperate situations could have been avoided with better CX and communication tools.

 

maaiiconnect provides businesses with an all-in-one solution for customer engagement and internal collaboration. By choosing the right solutions and investing in the right tool, a business can strive for digital maturity and thrive for decades to come.

What should businesses consider?
Start asking some hard questions to get to the bottom of the current situation.

1.  What do customers need? What channels are they using, now and in the future?
2.  Is there a need for external or internal communication tools? Or both?
3.  Is there old/ current data and conversations to migrate?
4.  What data and analytics are needed? How can these reports support the business decision?
5.  What tangible impact will it have on sales and customer experience?
6.  Is it secure? Where is the data stored, and is there end-to-end encryption?
7.  What is the timeline for implementation? When is it needed?

Identify and prioritise the must haves, and need nots. Make use of free plans and trials to experience the tools first-hand before committing. maaiiconnect Essentials Plan is a free package with all the web-based communication features needed to create powerful customer experiences.

Use live chat to curate intelligent customer experiences, globally
Customer satisfaction rates for live chat interactions are 98%, higher than all other channels.[2] As a touchpoint for online customer service, shoppers value the instant connection and users can leverage the additional data to design stronger experiences.

But not all live chats are created equal! maaiiconnect is a customer engagement software that combines telecom and digital channels. With a unique dashboard and insights, businesses can easily access data to transform customer experiences through a live chat widget that includes live chat, web call, video call, SMS, virtual numbers, and international toll free numbers.

Combine traditional telecom channels with the latest digital features
Check whether the solutions can be integrated with other software/ systems that the business uses, and which communication channels are available; such as web communication, traditional telecom, and social media. If the staff may work from home, cloud-based solutions typically can be used anywhere and on multiple devices for team collaboration and customer engagement.

65% of employees are not engaged at work due to confusing communication systems and processes.[3] Don’t create new bottlenecks by adding more layers, as consumers pay the price with slow response times and shift business to competitors.

Companies that communicate effectively can see sales increase by 20% with a 4.5x increase in staff retention,[4] proving a clear link between strong team collaboration channels and better customer experience. maaiiconnect enables stronger team collaboration via rich feature-set such as voice call, file sharing, group chat, screen sharing, video conferencing.

Look for a secure business communications tool with one dashboard
Using a single dashboard that converges all the telecom and digital channels the customers use, along with team collaboration tools, is an effective foundation to begin improving customer experience.

With many businesses using multiple international toll free numbers, virtual numbers, social media accounts, video conference services, chat widgets, SMS solutions, etc., costs pile up and staff get stretched juggling everything. A unified omnichannel communication solution such as maaiiconnect is the future of business communications, keeping costs down with customisable packages, and an easy to use all-in-one dashboard. The platform is backed by a proprietary infrastructure that is 100% compliant with telco and international security standards in data encryption, compliance, backup, and authentication.

Don’t wait until it’s too late! Register now and try the maaiiconnect Essentials Plan free of charge to transform your customer experience.
