Airtel Money secures ISO certification
Airtel Money, the most innovative and convenient
mobile financial platform in Ghana has secured the
ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification to make the
service the most secured for mobile financial
services.

The ISO/IEC 27001:2013 is the ultimate information
security standard published by the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the
International Electro-technical Commission (IEC)
which covers all the information systems,
processes, infrastructure, documents and data
involved in the creation, processing, storage
and/or disposal of information in the day to day
delivery of Mobile Financial Services to
customers.

This certification also means Airtel Money is
fully compliant with directives of the Bank of
Ghana to all Mobile Money operators to be ISO
certified in accordance with the Electronic Money
Issuers (EMI) guidelines.

The certification follows a rigorous and extensive
assessment of Airtel Money operations by the
British Standard Institution (BSI), a leading
global independent evaluator accredited by several
world renowned organisations including the
American National Standards Institute and the
United Kingdom Accreditation Service.

Speaking to this latest milestone, Airtel
Ghana’s Marketing Director, Rosy Fynn said
“The ISO certification is a demonstration of our
commitment to provide the most secured, innovative
and convenient mobile finance platform in the
country. It is also a re-affirmation of our
commitment to comply with the highest
international standards as well as the directives
of the Bank of Ghana as specified in the EMI
guidelines”.

She continued “As a company, we are relentless
in our effort to provide customers with the best
experience on our network and on the Airtel Money
platform. Over the years we have introduced
breakthrough innovations to enhance customers’
experience. We introduced Tap N Pay to enable
customers pay for goods and services by simply
tapping their phones at NFC-enabled POS devices,
we have partnered with major banks and financial
institutions to enable customers fully integrate
their bank accounts and Airtel Money wallets in a
way that provides absolute convenience giving
customers the freedom to transact without
limits”.

She continued “For our customers, this
certification means that they can transact on
Airtel Money with the utmost confidence that their
transactions are safe and secured at all times. So
if you are not yet on the Airtel Money platform,
this is yet another reason to join Ghana’s most
secured mobile finance platform”.

The ISO/IEC 27001 Information Security Management
provides organisations with the ability to
identify risks and put controls in place to manage
or reduce them, it builds trust of customers and
all stakeholders including regulators that
customers’ data and transactions are secured and
protected. ISO certification also demonstrates the
commitment of the recipient organisation to comply
with global standards in information security.

Airtel Money has consistently led the industry in
providing breakthrough innovations and better
value for customers.
