How Portu Made Investing Accessible — And Secure
Portu was created with a vision: To make investing accessible to everyone while prioritizing user security and convenience. By offering a variety of investment options — from retirement funds to financial security accounts for children — Portu caters to a diverse user base with a simple, user-friendly experience.
Prior to working with Wultra, Portu relied on SMS OTPs for two-factor authentication to secure logins, operation approvals, and contacting Portu support. While SMS OTPs provided a basic layer of security, Portu recognized the need to implement a more robust, future-proof solution. That’s where we came in.
It’s important to note that although Portu wasn't legally required to implement Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) within its platform, Portu proactively made the decision to integrate Wultra’s security solution to step up its defense against potential threats.

Our Mobile-First Authentication boosts the overall experience for Portu’s users by making authentication smoother and more reliable, thus underscoring Portu’s commitment to security.
