Update: 1:38PM THE Australia New Zealand (ANZ) Group today launched its new ANZ Pacific App in Fiji, providing customers with a convenient and secure option for banking on the go.
ANZ regional executive Pacific Tessa Price said the ANZ Pacific App was their secure mobile banking app for iPhone, iPad, and Android.
She said this made customers’ money available right at their fingertips.
“Security was central to our new, intuitive app design,” Ms Price said in a statement issued today.
“This is absolutely essential to safeguard our customers from increasingly sophisticated online fraud targeting people around the world.”
Ms Price said the app used a range of high-quality security measures to protect customers’ personal and account information, including two-factor authentication, data encryption technology, firewalls to stop unauthorised access to ANZ systems, automatic time-outs after inactivity and lock-outs after incorrect password/PIN attempts.
The new app will be rolled-out to the rest of the Pacific throughout 2018.
Ms Price said ANZ decided to make the new app available in Fiji first, as smartphone penetration was rapidly growing, with 1.2 million mobile connections, almost 50 per cent being smartphones.
