By using the inherent security of the mobile devices carried by consumers, Mobile Connect can provide authentication at a number of security levels on any device (PC, mobile or tablet). It reduces the need for consumers to remember multiple usernames and passwords, thereby lowering the likelihood of abandoned shopping carts and increasing sales for online businesses.<\/p>\n<div id=\"video-wrap-1\" class=\"gsma-vid-wrap wrap-theo respond\" data-width=\"620\" data-height=\"345\" data-image=\"https:\/\/www.gsma.com\/about-us\/regions\/latin-america-and-the-caribbean\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/videocover-MC-testimonialtasa-320.jpg\" data-mute=\"false\" data-controls=\"true\" data-start-level=\"3\" data-miid=\"119559264\" data-fid=\"0000116234130\"><div class=\"gsmavideo\" id=\"ys1\" data-link=\"https:\/\/platform.vixyvideo.com\/p\/557\/sp\/55700\/playManifest\/entryId\/0_gcg2tntb\/format\/applehttp\/protocol\/https\/a.m3u8\" data-poster=\"https:\/\/www.gsma.com\/about-us\/regions\/latin-america-and-the-caribbean\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/videocover-MC-testimonialtasa-320.jpg\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;\" controls=\"controls\" loop=\"true\" data-poster=\"https:\/\/www.gsma.com\/about-us\/regions\/latin-america-and-the-caribbean\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/videocover-MC-testimonialtasa-320.jpg\"><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the digital economy expands, both individuals and businesses are looking for ways to interact easily online without compromising security and privacy.
