Afterwards, Truphone demonstrated how its Mobile Recording technology helps banks stay compliant:

“The Dodd-Frank Act poses banking technologists with a technical and compliance problem. They must record all mobile phone communications relevant to a trade. Today, most banks do not record mobile devices, they fall outside of their technology stack. Communication is invisible; and that’s why the regulation now exists.

With Truphone Mobile Recording, businesses record, encrypt and store their mobile calls and text messages, simply and securely – without changing the user experience. Truphone Mobile Recording is available as a secure hosted solution, or can be integrated with existing recording equipment.”
