Lattelecom and Valimo launch mobile ID services in Latvia
MEKLattelecom, the leading provider of electronic communications services in Latvia, and a Finnish software company Valimo have commercially launched mobile ID services in Latvia. Jointly deployed based on Valimo mobile ID technology, the services bring Lattelecom's customers a convenient and secure way for online authentication and transaction confirmation.
Using Valimo's technology, Lattelecom offers the mobile ID service platform to Latvian service providers and mobile operators. The mobile ID users are able to securely sign in to online services and sign documents and transactions, simply by using their mobile phone. As mobile phones are typically always at hand, a legally binding digital signature can be done regardless of time or place.
Lattelecom launched the service with nine service providers, including Latvijas Krājbanka bank, Riga city council, Lattelecom's and Latvijas Mobilais Telefons' (LMT) online customer service, along with local enterprises and universities. Mobile ID technology can be integrated in all services that require strong authentication or a legally binding signature. Lattelecom handles user and transaction validation, making it easier for other service providers to join in.
- Lattelecom gains a new competitive edge with mobile ID as they can help their corporate clients cut costs of their existing businesses and launch new business concepts that require authentication, said Juha Murtopuro, CEO, Valimo.
Currently, Valimo Mobile ID is used in a variety of services throughout the world, including mobile banking and payments, governmental services, e-commerce and m-commerce applications, along with enterprise access management. According to the company itself Valimo is the global market leader in mobile ID solutions.
