Vonage, a part of Ericsson, today announced that, together with leaders from Aduna, Deutsche Telekom, and mBank, it is participating in the World Banking Forum in Athens. The event convenes senior banking executives and technology leaders from around the world to advance modern banking through technology innovation and digital transformation.
An increase in fraud has emerged from the rise of digital channels in financial services and continues to evolve and grow with new technologies such as AI that enable more sophisticated threats. As cyber threats continue to escalate and regulations tighten, it is more critical than ever for banks to deploy advanced fraud protection strategies. Cybercrime damages are projected to reach $11.9 trillion annually by 2026 and technology innovation is needed to meet regulatory demands and strengthen a financial institution’s overall fraud defenses.1
At the World Banking Forum, Aduna, Deutsche Telekom, mBank, and Vonage will explore how the convergence of 5G, Network APIs, and AI can revolutionize fraud prevention and redefine customer experience across the financial services industry. The industry leaders will discuss current security challenges and how embedding mobile network capabilities directly into banking applications delivers breakthroughs in seamless and secure customer interactions.
Exposing network capabilities through APIs provides banks like mBank with access to previously untapped and verified network data in real-time, enabling frictionless customer experiences and intelligently reducing fraud. Aduna, a joint venture of leading telecommunications industry giants, including Deutsche Telekom and Ericsson, drives the global availability of network capabilities by acting as an aggregator. Vonage, through its APIs and complementary tools, such as SDKs, makes these network capabilities accessible for developers to build innovative solutions with advanced fraud protection capabilities.
Fraud remains a persistent and increasing challenge for banks, across retail services and digital transactions. Innovation in prevention and detection technologies is crucial to stay ahead of the threat landscape and deliver a seamless customer experience.
“The collaboration between telcos, aggregators, and developer platform partners is crucial,” said Peter Arbitter, Chief Commercial Officer for Aduna. “Aduna’s role as an aggregator of telco network capabilities enables developer platform partners to drive the adoption of network APIs by developers, and expose digital innovation that advances secure banking services on a global scale.”
