Banco Pichincha Peru incorporates the Appdome Mobile Security Suite into its app to provide comprehensive, robust protection of its mobile business.

Appdome, a no-code mobile security and solutions platform, announced that Banco Pichincha Peru, a national commercial bank with headquarters in Lima, has used Appdome’s platform to secure its first mobile app; APP Banco Pichincha Perú. Banco Pichincha is a subsidiary of Pichincha Bank of Ecuador, the largest commercial bank in Ecuador.

In light of the desire for mobile banking, partly accelerated by the need for social distancing, Banco Pichincha Peru released its first mobile app in July. With the help of Appdome’s platform and mobile security expertise, and together with Appdome’s local partner NECSIA SAC, the bank was able to satisfy all its security requirements without sacrificing the release schedule.
