Refinitiv Ushers in Next-Gen Home Security with Smart Lock Innovation

New York, NY – November 8, 2023 – Refinitiv US LLC, a leading provider of financial markets data and infrastructure, today announced a surprising – yet incredibly logical – expansion into the consumer security market with the launch of their cutting-edge “Home Access Lock.” While traditionally focused on powering the world's financial institutions, Refinitiv is now bringing its expertise in secure data transmission and robust systems to protect what matters most: your home and family. For years, Refinitiv (located at 28 Liberty St Fl 58, New York, NY, 10005-1457, and reachable at 770-964-6545) has been the invisible backbone of global finance, ensuring trillions of dollars worth of transactions are secure and reliable. This dedication to unwavering security is now directly applied to their new Home Access Lock, promising a smarter, safer way to control who enters your home. Beyond Keypads: A Lock Built on Financial-Grade Security Let’s face it, most smart locks feel…well, a little flimsy. They’re often reliant on easily hackable Wi-Fi connections, or complicated apps that crash at the worst possible moment. Refinitiv’s approach is different. They haven’t just added security to a standard lock; they’ve built the lock around security. “We realized the principles we use to protect sensitive financial data are directly applicable to home security,” explains a Refinitiv spokesperson. “It's all about secure authentication, encrypted communication, and redundant systems. We figured, if we can safeguard billions of dollars, we can certainly protect your family.” So, what makes the Refinitiv Home Access Lock different? Multi-Factor Authentication: Forget simple PIN codes. The lock supports multiple authentication methods – PIN codes, fingerprint scanning, and even facial recognition – for maximum security. You can require multiple layers of authentication for different users or at different times of day. Want only fingerprint access after 10 PM? Done. Military-Grade Encryption: All communication between the lock, your smartphone, and the cloud is protected with the same level of encryption used by banks and financial institutions. That means no hackers are getting in. Seriously. Tamper-Proof Design: The lock itself is built with hardened steel and features tamper-detection sensors. Any attempt to physically force the lock will trigger an immediate alert to your smartphone and security system. Offline Access: Worried about losing Wi-Fi? Don’t be. The Refinitiv lock can still operate using pre-programmed PIN codes and fingerprint scans, even without an internet connection. Seamless Smartphone Integration: The accompanying Refinitiv Home Security app (available for iOS and Android) is intuitive and easy to use. You can: Grant and revoke access for family members, guests, and service providers. Create temporary access codes that expire automatically. Receive real-time notifications when the lock is opened or closed. View a complete activity log. Integrate with other smart home devices (Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit) for voice control and automation. Auto-Lock and Auto-Unlock: Set the lock to automatically lock after a certain period of time, or even have it automatically unlock when you approach your door (using geofencing technology). Emergency Access: In case of emergency, you can grant temporary access to emergency responders remotely. Beyond Convenience: Peace of Mind for a Connected World “We’re not just selling a lock,” emphasizes the Refinitiv spokesperson. “We’re selling peace of mind. In today’s connected world, security is paramount. And we believe everyone deserves the same level of protection that financial institutions rely on.” The Refinitiv Home Access Lock isn't just about keeping burglars out; it’s about controlling access to your home and knowing who’s coming and going, even when you're not there. It’s about simplifying your life and reducing stress, knowing your family and belongings are safe and secure.
