Globe Telecom is advancing the nation’s digital security through its Application Programming Interface (API) ecosystem.
Following its GSMA certification on Number Verification API earlier this year, Globe is leading the nation’s urgent move toward using next-generation authentication to protect customers online. This proactive shift addresses the vulnerabilities of legacy methods like One-Time Passwords (OTPs), which are increasingly targeted by phishing and social engineering scams.
In support of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP)’s mandate to adopt stronger, more adaptive security measures across the financial sector, Globe Business, Globe’s enterprise arm, is accelerating the shift toward next-generation authentication. Through a series of roadshows and ongoing collaborations with leading banks and financial institutions, Globe is helping organizations adopt API-based security frameworks that strengthen customer protection and prevent digital fraud. This pioneering move is critical in establishing a more resilient digital economy, setting new industry standards, and protecting the nation’s digital infrastructure.
Driving security innovation, powered by Globe API ecosystem
Powered by Globe’s ecosystem, this solution offers seamless and secure user verification, eliminating the vulnerabilities associated with traditional methods. This innovation is set to empower financial institutions to better protect their customers and build trust.
“Our commitment is rooted in nation-building. Globe provides the vital network infrastructure and drives next-generation authentication through APIs nationwide, ensuring digital assurance and ongoing innovation,” said Globe President and CEO Carl Cruz. “With these capabilities, we empower our customers to confidently accelerate their growth and cultivate a trusted digital ecosystem.”
Globe is a member operator of Bridge Alliance and was one of the earliest supporters of the Bridge Alliance API Exchange (BAEx), which extends Globe’s APIs to a broader ecosystem across Asia and beyond. BAEx enables global enterprises to seamlessly access Globe’s network capabilities, reaffirming Globe’s commitment to offering recognised, seamless and trusted API-powered solutions.
Moreover, Globe is expanding API accessibility through Concati, its marketplace for developers. As an emerging platform, Concati connects regional developers to mobile network operators and API publishers. This approach opens access for local and regional enterprises to adopt secure, scalable APIs like SNA, driving seamless integration and accelerating innovation across Southeast Asia.
“We are unlocking the true value of the API economy through Concati. By creating a standardized, single point of access, we drastically accelerate time-to-market, allowing developers to focus on innovation instead of complex integration,” added Vince Yamat, 917Ventures Managing Director and CEO.
Globe’s CPaaS (Communication Platform-as-a-Service) business, M360, also plays a vital role. As an expert in global and local API aggregation, M360 ensures operational excellence and security at scale, empowering organizations to build secure digital ecosystems, both locally and internationally. “Operational excellence is the foundation of digital trust. Our focus is delivering certified security and authentication services that our customers can rely on to scale secure, intelligent, and rich customer experiences,” said Ramon Hirang, Chief Executive Officer of M360.
Leading the digital future
This Globe API ecosystem, comprising Globe Business, Concati, and M360, clearly defines the multi-party framework that cements Globe Business’s leadership in enterprise digital transformation. As a testament to this, Globe is actively building the future today through global certifications, regional alliances, and local API adoption, equipping Philippine enterprises to secure transactions, streamline user experiences, and confidently elevate their digital offerings.
