Source: Internautas.org – 2007. The truth is that kits for cloning cards are available to anyone on the Internet, and such easy access has popularized their use (there are even online forums that offer training courses). It is a widespread practice in Latin America and Eastern Europe and it is growing in Western Europe.
The ATM and Internet channels are the most used in Europe, but the lack of security is a major restriction to business growth EMV chips on credit cares is intended to reduce fraud, but despite its high cost, does not solve the problem. The card cloning has become popular and growing.

eBanking
Financial institution hesitate even now to take full advantage of e-banking because of the inherent lack of security, particularly for lack of assurance of the identity of the end point user.. XELIOS remote access allows banks to have a total assurance who is accessing the system thus providing the assurance to extend the online services offered to customers.
XELIOS Solution Benefits
- Strong authentication gives each user a biometric token that generates a unique code which is valid only for the current session. When prompted, the user presents the fingerprint (what you are), while the biometric token generates a unique number (OTP – what you know). The two elements constitute proof of identity and confirmation of session integrity.
- This capability is easily integrated into existing infrastructure with numerous benefits beyond the elimination of fraud. One example is the reduction of support costs (the user does not have to memorize a password) and increases productivity in addition a marketing differentiator to attract and retain customers.
- BAFIS provides a rapid return on investment to the institution: the investment cost of the fingerprint sensors for authentication of clients is much lower than the cost of fraud resulting from identity theft and online fraud. Increased customer confidence leads to an improvement of the bank’s reputation and attraction of new customers
