InterSwitch, a provider of secure electronic payment solutions in Nigeria and comprises 25 member banks, has reportedly selected Gemalto’s complete Ezio strong authentication solution to secure their e-payment services in Nigeria.

 

Gemalto (News - Alert) officials said that the company supplied its Ezio Strong Authentication Server and acted as server integration partner. The company also delivered EMV card readers and unconnected tokens, all customized with InterSwitch’s visual corporate identity.

“We launched our EMV migration program with Gemalto and the company has proven a reliable partner,” said Mitchell Elegbe, managing director, InterSwitch, in a statement.

 

Elegbe said that this success contributed to creating a strong business relationship and this is why the company selected Gemalto for strong authentication program.
