First Union Corp, a $234bn bank based in Charlotte, North Carolina, has given digital authentication tokens its stamp of approval. The bank has adopted VASCO Data Security International Inc’s DigiPass 300 to secure its Internet and PC Global Cash Management services. After testing and evaluating the DigiPass 300, First Union decided to use the authentication token in its reporting and transaction-initiation service, PC InVision for Windows. Once authenticated by the token, PC InVision customers will be able to conduct even high-risk transactions from their computers. First Union also plans to add tokens to its rollout of WEBInVision, PC InVision’s internet-based counterpart.
