The road to security in the financial world
Our unstoppable search for security has a single motivation: to build the financial platform of the future. A platform that integrates and unites the new economies, built from economical, sectorial, localized, and personalized bedrocks, all integrated into a common whole.
We want to be the promoters of those economies of a future that’s not so far away anymore. And for that, what better way to begin doing it than to start from the very good things done by the promoters of the current economy: the banks.
Evidently, and only because it’s man’s own nature, many mistakes have been made, but what is also unquestionable is that banks have known to add a very important ingredient to the security: regulation.
There are rules and regulations that, together with supervisors, have turned the financial industry into one of the most trustworthy at the moment; with many flaws, that much is true, but very secure and trustworthy nonetheless.
All measures against fraud, against money laundering, against the financing of terrorism, to prevent any suspicious operations are oriented and must be directed at building an environment of certainty and peace of mind for whoever deposits their personal finances in it.
I experienced it myself, so I can guarantee and assure you that without a doubt, the first thing we did at 2gether, back in 2016, and even though it didn’t exist nor did anyone think about it back then, was to think about how to replicate those measures.
Security measures that were so important and critical in the already existing world, in the world of traditional finance built upon FIAT currency, how to replicate and improve them in this new world that we could already see and that would be built upon those new cryptographic assets that were becoming more numerous and prominent.
Following the script of that traditional banking that had worked so much on building that “white” operation, we started designing the different modules that would add trust, security, and guarantees to our platform.
We started building 2gether’s security from our different modules:
1.- KYC or knowing the customer, with information required by the regulation to ensure that all the Founders that join 2gether are who they say they are and are trustworthy;
2.- Prediction and prevention, which acts in advance, anticipates, and prevents operations to ensure that all transactions completed in 2gether are legit and safe for all the Founders;
3.- Review and detection, which in this difficult and continuously evolving world analyzes and checks what has already been processed to detect any undesirable operation that skipped the two previous modules;
5.- Alerts and warnings that keep the team in continuous vigilance to attend any incidents the moment they occur; and
6.- Learning and evolution, because we’re eminently technological and we take advantage of our knowledge and our technological capabilities, like with Big Data, to build intelligent self-managed algorithms that, on top of that, learn to optimize all the previous modules.
I’d like to close this section by offering you some recommendations so that we can all work together to build the security we deserve:
- Never provide anyone else with your bank data.
- Never share with anyone else any temporary codes sent by your bank.
- If you receive an email or check a website, make sure that the address is secure before sharing any personal data.
I assure you that everything we do at 2gether, and therefore, everything we do related to security, we’ve done it with our souls, our lives and our hearts:
Our souls, because we work with them so that everything works as it should, to attend and solve all incidents, to multiply the efforts in these moments in which the confinement holds us in place.
Our lives because I absolutely, and I think I can talk on behalf of everyone who’s part of 2gether, from the first to the last person to join the team, will dedicate it to build the safest platform of the future.
Our hearts, because we are in love with 2gether, because we feel our mission, because we’ll work without a break until we make it, because we maintain the same excitement, the same passion with which we started on the first day and because we want to conquer the hearts of all our Founders.
We’re convinced that only by working together, with our joint effort, we’ll be able to get out of this terrible pandemic and be free to reach that garden dreamed by some and hoped by many: a new social and ecologically sustainable world.
