NASSAU, BAHAMAS August 26, 2024 — Payment technology company ViaCarte – which is licensed to issue and acquire through the Visa and Mastercard networks – today announced the launch of Identicate. ™ Cardholder data protection developed jointly with cybersecurity giant Norton and global insurer Lloyds of London.

Identicate is a revolutionary fiat and digital asset protection product that breaks through the barriers of insurtech and fintech, ensuring the highest level of privacy in the industry. It covers not only financial losses but also reputational risks associated with identity data breaches.

“Cyberspace is an exciting place to work, play and even find love. But it also harbors a multitude of invisible threats,” said Eleuren Mendez, Director of Risk and Compliance at ViaCarte. “There is a gap in the world of card security. There is a huge problem with data leaks. People lose cards, have money stolen and get hacked. A far more serious problem is identity theft. We needed a proactive solution.”

He added: “Our customers should be protected wherever they are. That’s why we launched Identicate., a groundbreaking data protection monitoring solution that gives cardholders 24/7 peace of mind.”

ViaCarte customers have the option to add Identicate to protect their cardholders from theft, fraud or data loss online. This includes continuous dark web monitoring and data breach notification in case of compromised digital assets, including social security numbers, credit card numbers, mobile numbers, emails or bank account details.

Loss protection covers cardholders against losses in case of device or data loss, financial extortion or loss of funds due to leaked login credentials. In addition, Identicate provides cardholders with various legal, compensation and psychological support services for cyber threat cases.

“The major consumer shift to digital payments has been overwhelmingly positive, but every change comes with risks,” said Ty Forbes, Managing Partner at ViaCarte. “As your digital footprint grows, so does your exposure to potential threats like identity theft, hacking and fraud. With Identicate, ViaCarte is making it safer for customers to take advantage of everyday conveniences like social media, online banking and e-commerce and spend money with confidence.”

Identicate was developed in partnership with Lloyds of London – the world’s leading insurance market – and Norton, a global pioneer in cybersecurity that offers all-in-one security software, identity protection and online privacy services. Identicate also offers cybersecurity awareness and prevention training, including phishing and ransomware training.

With industry-leading technology, web interfaces and API integration ViaCarte offers its customers unparalleled access to white-label cards, wallets and loyalty programs in over 135 currencies and 111 countries. The company – a subsidiary of Financiera Via Carte in Panama – is licensed as a principal member to issue and acquire Visa and Mastercard and serves a wide range of businesses and individuals.
