Toss Certificate Usable When Subscribing to Altteul Phone

Affordable phone plans can also be subscribed to within the Toss app

[Asia Economy Reporter Minwoo Lee] Mobile financial platform Toss's certificate will be available for use on KT and KT Altteul Phone.

Toss operator Viva Republica announced on the 22nd that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with KT on this matter. This is the first time that the Toss certificate has been introduced to a mobile carrier's Altteul Phone service.

Accordingly, the Toss certificate can be used when activating a phone on the Toss application (app) and KT Altteul Phone operators' online malls. It is selected as the final authentication step in non-face-to-face subscription. This is because it holds the same legal and technical status as the joint certificate. The Toss certificate is already being used in over 250 public and private sectors including Government2 and Suhyup. It will be applied sequentially to KT Altteul Phone operators' online malls in the future.

Meanwhile, it will also be possible to activate KT Altteul Phone non-face-to-face within the Toss app. It is scheduled to open within the Toss app under the 'shop-in-shop' concept.

In addition, Toss plans to introduce its identity verification service at the initial stage of various service subscriptions. In August last year, Toss was designated as an identity verification agency by the Korea Communications Commission, and plans to launch the identity verification service as early as next month and expand the service in earnest.

A Toss official said, "Toss is the only private operator that holds both the identity verification agency and electronic signature certification business licenses," adding, "Taking this opportunity of introducing the Toss certificate to KT Altteul Phone service, we will expand Toss certificate and identity verification services to various fields."
