On an ordinary day, this scene would have attracted little comment. Four officers in the ‘meet and greet’ area of the London Marathon were being approached by members of the public for assistance, mainly involving directions that would take them away from St. James’s Park.

In normal times, the fact that a number of these members of the public were unaccompanied women wouldn’t attract comment, but for policing these are not normal times thanks to a rogue police constable whose name has become synonymous with unspeakable evil.

HONG KONG/PHNOM PENH: ABA Bank and Smart Axiata continue to lead Cambodia’s digitalization by introducing the secure and customer-friendly solution for users’ identification and protection: IPification, a one-click registration, authentication, and fraud-prevention system.

ABA Bank will introduce the seamless IPification technology to the subscribers of Smart Axiata, Cambodia’s leading telecommunications operator, soon followed by other operators in the country. IPification is a one-click mobile identity solution that enables end users to verify their phone number, register and log in within milliseconds. Developed with security, user experience and data privacy in mind, it will allow ABA Bank to enhance the user experience on its mobile banking app and will be used instead of the SMS-based, one-time-password (OTP) system currently in place in the app activation process.
