In light of the desire for mobile banking, partly accelerated by the need for social distancing, Banco Pichincha Peru released its first mobile app in July. With the help of Appdome’s platform and mobile security expertise, and together with Appdome’s local partner NECSIA SAC, the bank was able to satisfy all its security requirements without sacrificing the release schedule.
“As a financial institution, it’s crucial that our mobile app be secure,” said Erick Alencar Rios, Head of Digital Channels at Banco Pichincha Peru. “But we also needed to release the app in a timely manner. Our customers were eager to start mobile banking and with Appdome’s help and support, we were able to release a certified secure app quickly without adding to the workload of our mobile development organization or integrating multiple third-party security solutions.”
