Online bank Skandiabanken has integrated Shield security technology from Promon into its new mobile banking service in Norway.
As a digital bank, Skandiabanken said that the move consolidated its focus on securing customer information and transactions.
Thomas Tjøstheim, product manager for security and customers at Skandiabanken, explained: “We have chosen Promon Shield for our mobile banking service, as the technology involved provides extra protection against malware on our users’ mobile phones and tablets, without requiring any changes with how our mobile banking service is used, and without any action required on the part of the customer.”
Promon said that its technology was already protecting millions of mobile users in Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands, but that Skandiabanken was the first bank in Norway to introduce it.
“Promon has achieved success with its security technology for mobile apps and Windows programs, particularly in markets where cyber-crime is more extensive than in Norway at present,” said Jan Søgaard, CEO of Promon. “Skandiabanken is the first Norwegian bank to introduce Promon Shield as an added protection for their mobile banking service, providing an extra layer of security for the bank’s customers.”
