The key ingredient to enabling the best
possible digital experiences is eliminating
the real-time Trust Gap. The difference
between the more than 95% of consumers
who can be green-lighted through a VIP
customer experience and the less than
5% of consumers who require further
authentication to confirm that they are who
they claim to be. Payfone eliminates this
Trust Gap and creates a VIP express lane
experience for trustworthy logins through
our patented Trust Platform and Trust
Score. The Trust Score answers the question
surrounding whether the customer is really
who they claim to be.
“Companies around the globe realise that
there is no longer a need to trade off great
digital experiences for fraud prevention,”
said Rodger Desai, Chief Executive Officer
at Payfone. “Winning businesses will be
differentiated by delivering experiences that
not only engage customers and drive long-
term loyalty but save on OpEx by eliminating
unnecessary, intervention processes.
“We are thrilled to partner with the GSMA
and Mobile Connect to bring our advanced
Trust capabilities to Spanish enterprises who
can leverage them to give their customers a
safer and more convenient way to log in while
competing more effectively,” Desai said.
