TawiPay renames into Monito
From François Briod, CEO of Monito: “We change our name, not who we are are”
When Pascal, Laurent and I decided to join forces over 3 years ago to change the world of money transfers, we had scarce knowledge about where it would lead us and how we would get there, but we certainly knew why it was worth trying.
We knew too well the frustration of paying hefty transfer fees. We got screwed ourselves, and we later discovered that reducing the unfair cost of remittances would have a huge impact on the life of millions of migrants and their family.
We quickly found that comparing the cost of international money transfer services would be the best way to beat unnecessary transfer fees, for the better.
This mission is still driving us today, and we’ve made a long way since our humble beginnings. Today, I am very proud to unveil our new name #Monito and our new logo that will accompany us for the many evolutions yet to come.
Say goodbye to #TawiPay, and hello to Monito!
Expect more
Guiding you from many options to the best one, comparison is at the core of what we do. Under this new symbol, you can expect more from us.
Starting from today, we’re launching the first search engine for money transfer services, allowing you to search for the provider or bank of your choice and find in-depth analyses, customer reviews, and how they rank in our Monito global score: a summary of all the provider’s strengths and weaknesses.
With Monito, more money arrives at its destination. You’ve worked hard to earn this money, we make sure that nothing is wasted on the way. This pledge is not only at the heart of our proposition to you, but now also embedded in our identity.
A heart finding its way to the people you love, the final shape of our logo, is here to remind us that remittances are dollars wrapped with love, a lifeline for more than 700 million people.
We are thrilled to open this new chapter, but also to drink coffee with class! Share your money transfer story in comments below and maybe get the chance to receive the mug of your choice!

Insider Threats Management – das müssen Sie wissen!
74% der Unternehmen sind nach eigenen Angaben anfällig für #Insider Attacken. 42% aller Unternehmen geben jedoch an, nicht ausreichend gegen dagegen geschützt zu sein. (*)
Insider Threat Spotlight Report 2016 – Company Vulnerability
75% aller Unternehmen schätzen, dass die Korrektur eines Insider #Threats bis zu 500.000 US-Dollar kosten kann. 25% wiederum denken, die Kosten könnten 500.000 US-Dollar sogar übersteigen und bis in die Millionen gehen.
Insider sind Personen, denen wir wissentlich Zugriff auf unsere Daten geben. Zum einen sprechen wir von Partnerfirmen, die Ihre Systeme administrieren. Obwohl dies meist auch geographisch extern gelegene Partnerfirmen sind, werden sie durch die vergebenen Berechtigungen automatisch zu Insidern. Auf der anderen Seite sind Insider aber vor allen anderen Ihre eigenen Mitarbeiter.
Wie stellen Sie heute fest, was diese mit Ihren Daten machen? Haben Sie den vollen Überblick? Denn: 60% aller Insider Threats eines Unternehmens werden durch privilegierte Anwender begangen. Privilegierte Anwender sind beispielsweise Manager mit Zugriffsberechtigungen auf sensible Informationen.
Insider Threat Spotlight Report 2016 &8211; Risky Users
71% der Fälle von Datenverlust eines Unternehmens passieren unbeabsichtigt, gefolgt von fahrlässigen (68%) und böswilligen (61%) Anwendern.
Ihre Anwender sinnvoll zu schulen und zu trainieren, generiert meist viel Aufwand. Der Markt hat in diesem Segment nicht viel zu bieten.
&8211; Heute weisen Sie via E-Mail auf Policies hin und hoffen, dass diese umgesetzt werden.
&8211; Sie schulen Ihre Mitarbeiter halbjährlich in Konferenzräumen, die das Gesehene zwei Minuten nach Verlassen des Raumes wieder vergessen haben.
&8211; Sie weisen Mitarbeiter an, nervige Multiple-Choice Tests abzuarbeiten
Dieses Webinar zeigt Ihnen, wie Sie die Security-Awareness Ihrer Anwender kosteneffizient steigern, ohne dass diese den Arbeitsplatz verlassen #müssen. Gleichzeitig schützen Sie sich gegen Insider-Attacken.
Zur Teilnahme am Webinar, melden Sie sich hier an!
