Abstract
Overview
Institutions face growing risks to their assets, legal liability and
reputations as they seek to securely and conveniently authenticate their
customers across multiple channels. With 86% of adults owning a handset,
mobile banking is poised for explosive growth. Yet, with each new channel,
institutions face a multitude of decisions surrounding strong authentication
to determine the best approach that covers all channels balancing the needs
for the highest effectiveness against fraud with the greatest convenience for
their customers. Implemented correctly, mobile strengthens cross-channel
authentication, covering online, mobile, ATM, branch, and call center. Javelin
Strategy & Research provides an analysis and ranking of 11 authentication
technologies, 15 authentication technology vendors, and 13 mobile banking
solutions vendors to assist financial institutions in the decision process and
implementation of their FFIEC-compliant multichannel authentication strategy.
The model evaluates authentication technologies for application to individual
and multiple channels, likelihood of consumer adoption and effectiveness
against fraud.
