ATLANTA, Oct. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Online Banking Solutions (OBS) today announced that Bank of Hawaii will implement the OBS Online Messenger M-Secure Banking Suite for Cash Management customer file transfer and information delivery products.

Online Banking Solutions (OBS) developed the M-Secure Banking Suite to provide straight-forward and secure file exchange between the bank and its customers through any of three delivery channels: Web, Desktop Connection or Secure FTP. M-Secure Browser is a hardened internet browser with integrated two-factor and mutual authentication and the new M-Secure Virtual Keyboard designed to minimize Internet fraud and risk.

With M-Secure File Transfer OBS banks can transmit and receive data automatically without scripts or manual intervention. Online Messenger regularly checks for files to be delivered to clients or sent to the bank from designated folders on the customer's PC. Customers need only place a file in the designated "send" folder and the file will be automatically transmitted to the bank. No complicated FTP processes, no modems, no scripts. Every step of the transfer process is monitored and audited by the system.

Data Delivery is secure; a strong encryption algorithm with a 448-bit key is used in combination with a unique User ID and one-time password generated only with the user's private PIN.

Banks using OBS can optionally offer email and cell phone alerts to immediately notify clients when a file has been sent. Users have unique alert settings which can be controlled via the Online Messenger web administration functions.

"The M-Secure Banking Suite marks the introduction of next-generation web cash management," says Dan Myers, OBS CEO. "These highly secure multi-channel products enable unattended file delivery and straight-through processing capabilities for real-time banking to customers of all sizes that is affordable and service responsive."
