Biometrics: The Time Has Come
Financial institutions must balance usability and security as well as privacy and disclosure to effectively implement biometrics.
Boston, October 13, 2016 – Through the advancements in mobile phone technology, consumers have come to embrace biometrics and are beginning to accept that their biometrics are unlikely to be stolen or compromised. Biometrics firms are moving past just fingerprints and facial recognition and are looking into voice, heart rhythms, iris and eye vein scanning, and many more. The time has come for financial institutions to strongly consider biometric authentication methods in a variety of contexts.
