Entersekt Appoints Global Kinetic as App Development Partner
Entersekt,
a leader in next-generation digital banking security, today announced an
original equipment manufacturing agreement with Global Kinetic, a
specialist in transaction processing software. Global Kinetic secures
its custom-built solutions and product line with Entersekt's mobile app
security and push-based authentication. Already securing billions of
digital transactions a year, this proven, regulatory-compliant
technology helps service providers protect their customers' money and
data while freeing their product development teams to focus on their
core responsibility - product innovation.
Financial institutions across the world build Entersekt's
technology into their mobile apps by means of a software development
kit. To do so, they may elect to use in-house developers or contract a
third-party like Global Kinetic for up-to-the-minute technical expertise
and a faster time to market. A one-stop enterprise software developer, Global
Kinetic designs, engineers, and supports cloud, on-premise, and
hybrid solutions that meet the financial services industry's exacting
requirements for high scalability, high availability, and security. Its
fully integrated suite of services extends to user experience design and
creative support.
Global Kinetic and Entersekt collaborated on several customer-specific
projects in the United States and South Africa prior to formalizing
their partnership. Global Kinetic has also licensed Entersekt's
technoogy for use in its own products, including FutureBank Platform, a
feature-rich, easily customized mobile banking or payments starter pack
for regional banks, credit unions, and fintech startups in the United
States.
"Entersekt's superb security solution is a natural fit for the fintech
software that Global Kinetic builds," said Martin Dippenaar, CEO of
Global Kinetic. Emphasizing the strategic importance of the partnership,
he added: "Licensed as an OEM service within our FutureBank Platform, we
are confident that our product is secured by the best enterprise-grade
solution available with the most natural and convenient user experience.
Strategically, our partnership with Entersekt spearheads our expansion
into international markets, and we are proud to have them as global
partners."
"Partnering with best-of-breed companies like Global Kinetic is crucial
to making the most of the opportunities we see in the global market,"
said Dewald
Nolte, SVP partnerships and alliances at Entersekt. "There are
incredibly exciting synergies in working with vendors as passionate as
we are about the mobile and online channels."
That Nolte, an Entersekt co-founder, leads its partner program signals
the value the company places on it. "By aligning ourselves with
organizations that share our vision but have their own competencies, we
can focus on what Entersekt does best: engineering the future of
banking-grade digital security," he said.
