One, the evolution of fleet management systems that enabled digital solutions like telematics-based route optimizations and the emergence of fleet aggregators.

5 Reasons why Banks need Behavioral Biometrics- M2P Fintech

Stronger security: Behavioral biometrics uses unique behavioral patterns and actions to verify the identity of an individual, providing a stronger form of authentication when compared to traditional methods such as passwords and security tokens. 

User convenience: Unlike traditional biometrics, such as fingerprints and facial recognition, behavioral biometrics do not require any physical input from the user. Instead, it uses actions and behaviors that are performed naturally, such as typing rhythm and mouse movements. This makes it a convenient and user-friendly method of authentication.   

Continuous authentication: Behavioral biometrics continuously monitor the actions and behaviors of the user, ensuring that the user’s identity is continuously verified even after initial authentication. This helps prevent fraud by detecting any changes in behavior that may indicate that a fraudster has taken over the account.  

More difficult to mimic: Unlike other forms of biometrics, it is difficult for a fraudster to mimic the unique behavioral patterns of an individual. This makes it a more secure form of authentication, reducing the risk of fraud.  

Improved fraud detection: By continuously monitoring user behavior, behavioral biometrics can help financial institutions identify potential fraud and investigate suspicious activity, giving them another layer of security to their customer’s accounts.  

The technology behind behavioral biometrics is evolving, and there is no doubt that a lot of work in this space is already underway. The early indications are quite clear that it will be a key component of banks’ arsenal against the continuously evolving world of fraud. It’s high time banks take behavioral biometrics seriously to authenticate and protect end-users from hacking and fraud.

Simplify Debit Card Management with M2P’s Revolutionary Platform

The pandemic changed the world as we know it, and banking was no exception.

Customers began preferring mobile-first, secure, personalized, and digital payment methods over direct ones to transact, and banks had to adapt to survive.

Traditional banks had to find efficient ways to drive customer experience and security. They embraced digital transformation rapidly and implemented new technologies to offer customers a seamless banking experience.

Banks had to ensure that their Debit Card Management Systems (DCMS) were equipped to handle personalization, security, and the surge in usage. They had to adopt measures such as fraud detection and prevention systems, real-time transaction monitoring, and enhanced security protocols to ensure the safety of customer data.

But running a debit card operation can be a challenging task for banks. Pressure from evolving customer preferences, competition from contactless payment modes,  and evolving regulatory changes severely affect the debit card landscape. Legacy banking systems are plagued by cost and effort bottlenecks that further impact the operational efficiency and profitability of banks.

Focus:Rise of Co-Lending Model- M2P Fintech

The priority sector has embraced economic hardships due to the pandemic and its repercussions. Industry experts believe the renewed co-lending model has great potential to significantly transform the sector. For one, banks can leverage the market outreach, loan origination, and servicing acumen of NBFCs, and NBFCs can bank on improved liquidity and profitability.

In addition, per RBI’s circular, NBFCs are the single point of interface for customers. They are responsible for loan origination, fund routing, servicing, and collection. Given their extensive reach at the grassroots level, better last mile connectivity, and customer relationship, NBFCs have established themselves as being more effective than banks in handling loan recovery/collection. Therefore, this approach is expected to augment the timely servicing of debt by the borrowers.

Under the renewed co-lending model, the banks’ finances and NBFCs’ (customer reach and) capabilities meld with fintechs’ technology. If exercised in the true spirit, RBI can score a hat-trick.

1. Render tailor-made and affordable financial solutions at the grassroots level
