Receiving money or making payments in the digital world should be simple and, above all, secure. With so many options available, it’s natural to have concerns about protecting your data and the reliability of the platforms you use. Whether you work with instant payments, payment links, net payments, or web payments, having a solution that prioritizes security is essential.

The Challenge of Instant Payments

Instant payments, payment links, and net payments offer numerous benefits: they are fast, convenient, and provide immediate access to funds.
However, they also come with security challenges, such as fraud, human error, and potential vulnerabilities in web payment platforms. Security in financial transactions is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. In a digital environment where instant payments, payment links, and net payments are indispensable tools for daily life, ensuring the safety of your money is crucial.

With over nine years of experience in the market, Airtm understands that speed and convenience mean nothing without robust security. In the coming months, we’ll launch payment links, making your transactions not only easier but also more secure.

How Does Airtm Ensure Security in Every Transaction?

    1. Advanced Encryption Technology
      Every transaction you make on Airtm, whether via instant payments, payment links, or web payments, is protected by bank-level encryption. This means your personal and financial data is safeguarded against unauthorized access.
    2. Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
      Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to your account. Even if someone obtains your password, they won’t be able to access your account without the verification code only you can receive.
    3. Identity Verification System
      We have a verification process that ensures every user is who they claim to be. This minimizes risks associated with fake accounts or suspicious transactions within the network.
    4. Fraud Monitoring and Detection
      Our monitoring system works in real-time to identify unusual or potentially fraudulent activities. If something doesn’t seem right, we take immediate action to protect our users.
    5. Escrow for P2P Transactions
      In P2P (peer-to-peer) transactions, Airtm acts as a trusted intermediary, holding the funds until both parties confirm the transaction was successful. This reduces the risk of fraud and misunderstandings between users, especially when payments are made through payment links or web payments.
    6. Stablecoin Integration for Stability
      We integrate stablecoins like USDT or USDC cryptocurrencies designed to maintain a stable value. These digital currencies allow users to protect their funds from volatility, a common concern with traditional cryptocurrencies. Using stablecoins on Airtm lets you enjoy fast, secure transactions with the reassurance that your funds will retain their value.

Tips to Keep Your Payments Secure on Airtm

While Airtm implements robust security measures, you can take additional precautions to protect your funds in net payments, web payments, or transactions via payment links:

  • Use Strong Passwords: Combine letters, numbers, and symbols, and change them regularly.
  • Activate 2FA: This simple step can make a big difference in protecting your account.
  • Avoid Sharing Sensitive Data: Never share your password or verification codes with anyone.
  • Verify Recipient Credentials: Before sending funds, ensure you are interacting with the correct person or entity.
  • Keep Your Contact Information Updated: This ensures you receive alerts about suspicious activity on your account.
