Gemalto has announced that ING Belgium has agreed to deploy Gemalto’s Ezio end-to-end authentication product in its eBanking platform.

The Ezio service utilizes its Ezio Classic reader and ING customers’ current smart banking cards to generate a one-time password that grants secure access to their bank account and online transaction signing. The system is fully compliant with Belgian regulations regarding online security and is designed to encourage customers to enroll in online banking.

Gemalto will provide ING Belgium with additional services such as server integration, packaging and direct delivery of Ezio Classic card readers to ING Belgium’s customers.

INC Belgium has about one million online banking customers.
