Mozambicans’ bank details will be better protected and even more secure, thanks to a series of actions being developed to strengthen mechanisms in this regard.

To this end, the National Institute of Information and Communication Technologies (INTIC) and the financial services multinational VISA met a few days ago in Maputo, to discuss and develop strategies for protection and the sharing of responsibilities between the two organisations.

On the occasion, the President of the Board of Directors of INTIC, Lourino Chemane, said that entities such as VISA, which are responsible for electronic transactions throughout the world, must ensure that citizens are not victims of cybercrime and that their data is not used for criminal activities.

“VISA can be an important ally in the country’s digital transformation, as it has data from a large part of the population. However, it is essential to ensure that this information is protected against possible attacks by malicious individuals,” Chemane said.

In addition to data protection, INTIC opened space for VISA to support the institution in the formulation of regulatory instruments for digital certification and in the drafting of ongoing law proposals.

“We believe that this institutional support will help the country move more quickly towards digital transformation, which is already a global imposition, and we hope to have a more robust banking system protected from cyber attacks,” Chemane explained.

In turn, the director and national manager of VISA, Joel Pita, proposed the creation of a team made up of staff from both parties to analyse areas of mutual interest and provide the support requested by INTIC.
