Remittances to friends and family in Indonesia, Nepal, India, or the Pacific Islands are essential to meet loved ones’ basic needs. However, as the process becomes more accessible with the current technological features in money transfers online, security issues are also increasing. Phishing and hacking are real threats, which means one needs to use a reliable site that ensures the transactions are secure.
MasterRemit acknowledges the importance of these remittances and has a safe platform to guarantee the safety of your money and details with every transaction. This blog also provides information on the basic security procedures observed by us to ensure safe transactions for your loved ones abroad.
The Importance of Secure Online Money Transfers
Cross-border money remittance has become a source of funding for many families worldwide. As the World Bank points out, remittance inflows to low—and middle-income countries in 2020 totalled $540 billion, indicating the immense importance of remittances in the world economy. These funds cover basic expenditures like food, education, health, and shelter.
However, an organisation’s vulnerability to cyber attacks increases as online transactions increase. The smallest loophole in the security system puts funds and personal information at risk, distressing both the sender and the recipient. Also, such mistakes or delays can complicate the set payment schedules necessary for families to meet essential expenses.
Hence we provide the industry’s highest level of safety measures like data encryption, two-factor authentication, and constant monitoring. It also follows or exceeds the stringent Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) guidelines.
How MasterRemit Protects Your Transfers
We at MasterRemit do not take security lightly. The safety of your money and personal details is of highest importance to us.
1) Data Encryption: Protecting Your Information
Currently, we employ AES-256 encryption based on the SSL protocol, which is recognised as one of the most secure encryption algorithms acknowledged by banks and other governmental institutions. This enables that any content communicated through our platform is perfectly safe and only accessible to intended recipients. Encryption provides a secure communication channel and protects data, including your bank details, transfer amount, and recipient details.
2) Two-Factor Authentication (2FA):
Based on our customers’ requests we do provide Two-factor authentication (2FA) that protects your MasterRemit account since you can only send funds once you verify your identity through at least two mechanisms. For instance, during the password input, the user will be required to input a one-time code that will be issued to the individual’s mobile device.
Further, Google revealed that using 2FA can prevent 99.9% of automated attacks. This means that you are the only one who can access your account when using MasterRemit’s 2FA.
3) KYC and AML Compliance:
KYC and AML are strictly observed at our company. These policies initiated by global regulatory bodies aim to confirm each user’s identity, minimise fraud, and prevent money laundering.
During KYC, we require ID, such as a national ID, passport, or proof of residence; this makes every transaction legal and adequately recorded and safeguards users and recipients.
4) Real-Time Monitoring:
The following strategies have been implemented in MasterRemit: real-time account monitoring and AI-based account monitoring for suspicious activities. Should any fraudulent transaction be observed, we block it and take measures to protect your money. This monitoring system assists us in stopping suspicious transactions or intent to defraud users before they can cause any harm.
5) Fraud Prevention Tools and Analytics
We use sophisticated fraud protection solutions using machine learning (ML)) and predictive analytics to avoid potential risks. These capabilities improve our system’s capacity to stop fraudulent activity before it impacts your transactions by analysing previous data to identify fraud tendencies.
