Case Study: Global Banking achieves secure QR code and short link management with BL.INK

How a Global Banking Giant Implemented QR Codes While Adhering to Stringent Compliance & Security Standards

Global Banking, a multinational financial institution serving customers across 35 countries, needed to implement branded QR codes and short links across assets like ATMs and lobby signage without compromising its strict compliance and security requirements. Using BL.INK’s short link creation, QR code creation, and link management platform, the bank sought a solution that could adapt as security standards evolved while maintaining centralized governance.

BL.INK implemented an accommodative, enterprise-grade link management system with dedicated infrastructure, hardware security modules (HSM) for SSL certificate management, single sign-on, whitelisting for destination URLs, 24/7 monitoring, penetration testing, and regular auditing. As a result, Global Banking was able to deploy branded QR codes and short links securely and in line with stringent compliance requirements, with the partnership continuing since 2010 and providing the flexibility and governance needed as protocols changed.
