Frankfurt/Darmstadt, December 20, 2018 - As one of the leading direct banks,
comdirect bank AG is now using the AUTHADA software as its identification
solution, integrated into the new comdirect mobile application. With this
solution, AUTHADA, a portfolio company of FinLab AG (ISIN: DE0001218063;
Ticker: A7A.GR), sets a new standard for fast and secure identification for
account opening to a few seconds.
As one of the most well-established online banks in Germany, comdirect now
offers its customers identification solution of AUTHADA by means of an
electronic identity card within seconds. comdirect is thus taking advantage
of the opportunity to make banking and investing even simpler and more
intuitive for its customers and is thus proving itself to be a leader in
innovation.
comdirect is the first direct bank to rely on AUTHADA's White Label SDK.
AUTHADA's identification solution is fully integrated into comdirect's app
and corporate design. With this integration, comdirect allows its customers
to identify themselves particularly quickly, securely and without having to
switch media.. For a user who opens a depot with comdirect, he can identify
himself within seconds using the AUTHADA solution in the comdirect app. Like
the complete comdirect service itself, remote identification is available
from anywhere at any time of the day or night. The user only needs his
electronic ID card, the associated six-digit PIN and an NFC-capable Android
smartphone or tablet for the digital identification process.
The AUTHADA solution meets all the requirements of the Money Laundering Act
(AMLA), the Banking Act (KWG) and the Federal Administration Office (BVA).
AUTHADA solutions guarantee maximum security and are certified by the German
Federal Office for Information Security (BSI).
Jörg Jessen, CEO of AUTHADA, characterizes the new business relationship as
follows: "The fact that one of the leading direct banks in Germany is
launching our integrated identification solution is another milestone for
AUTHADA this year. comdirect thus offers by far the fastest and most
customer-friendly account opening in Germany and we know that we will very
soon be gaining further major financial service providers as partners. We
would like to thank comdirect for the trust they have placed in us".
Matthias Hach, board member at comdirect, adds: "Identifying with eID is in
line with our strategy of making banking and brokerage as easy, fast and
convenient as possible for our customers. And with the integration of
AUTHADA, we will significantly accelerate the opening of securities
accounts. " Stefan Schütze, CEO of FinLab AG, which already joined AUTHADA
in 2016, adds: "We are pleased to have won comdirect bank AG as a customer,
one of the leading online brokers in Germany. This confirms the quality of
our products and will provide further momentum in the upcoming market
penetration".
