Airtel Money Secures ISO Certification 

Airtel Money has secured the ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification to make the service the most secure 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 (BoG) 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 organizations, including the American National Standards Institute and the United Kingdom (UK) Accreditation Service.

Touching on milestone, Airtel Ghana's Marketing Director, Rosy Fynn said, “The ISO certification is a demonstration of our commitment to provide the most secure, innovative and convenient mobile finance platform in the country. It is also a reaffirmation of our commitment to complying with the highest international standards, as well as the directives of the Bank of Ghana as specified in the EMI guidelines.”

She commented: “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 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.”

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