NEW YORK, Dec. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Kaleyra, Inc. (NYSE: KLR) (NYSE American: KLR WS) ("Kaleyra" or the "Company"), a rapidly growing omnichannel business communications platform, has integrated Kaleyra Video, its proprietary audio and video solution, in the mobile application developed for Flowe, Italy's new-age digital bank, to improve customer identification and fraud detection processes. The collaboration was made possible by Fincons Group, a leading international player in IT business consulting, technology, and system integration which has a long-term relationship with Flowe, supporting Mediolanum Group's innovative digital bank across several projects.

Kaleyra Video's capabilities, combined with Fincons' support, have enabled Flowe to offer a personalized and secure experience.

Flowe's name, logo, and colors appear on the customers' mobile screens when they receive a call from one of the representatives. This visibility assures customers that the communication is safe and not at risk of vishing attacks.
