GO4MOBILITY ENHANCES WAP BILLING SECURITY IN THE PURCHASE OF DIGITAL GOODS OVER THE MOBILE PHONE

The partnership between Go4Mobility and Evina is one of the latest measures to ensure user safety

We, Go4Mobility, are one of the main players in the national market operating in the Mobile Communications industry, offering services in the area of digital payments, through the bill / mobile phone balance, mostly known in the market as Direct Carrier Billing. 

In one of our business areas, we act as a facilitator among content providers (also known in the market as merchants or content providers), telecommunications operators and end users. As the main areas of activity of our clients, we are talking about areas such as streaming channels, news, games, music, radio, mobile applications, among many others.

Go4Mobility, in the last quarter of 2019, took another important step in the fight against fraud in WAP Billing for the purchase of digital entertainment content and other digital services.

With more than 15 years of experience in the national and international market, in recent years it has confronted huge challenges in the fight against cyber fraud, along with telecom operators and other companies that are also harmed by hackers, such as the giant’s Google and Facebook.

It is very important to understand the context of this theme of the monetization of digital content by merchants, because it occurs through the purchase of space in digital media (media buying), mostly through networks of affiliates or their own platforms such as Google Ads. Although there are strong anti-fraud systems, numerous sources of traffic continue to allow new fraud techniques and draw enormous financial advantages from them.

Investment in Combating Fraud

In fact, over the last few years, Go4Mobility has adopted the best practices and trends in the market, highlighting the recent partnership with Evina, a French company recognized worldwide for its anti-fraud and cybersecurity solutions, through the well-known DCBProtect platform, which allows the automatic detection and blocking of fraudulent situations, as well as helping to improve the customer’s experience in a secure manner. DCBProtect operates in more than 50 countries, blocks 300 million cyber-fraud situations per year, protects 6 million transactions per day and collaborates directly with multiple world-renowned operators such as Bouygues Telecom France or Proximus Belgium, among other mobile operators and aggregators worldwide.

Thus, Go4Mobility is proud to be able to detect and block more than 99% of these situations that mainly harm mobile operators’ customers, managing to protect these same customers from viruses, phishing, spoofing, malware (malicious applications) and, for example, identity theft. And do it in real time.
