Biometric identity verification is the future in the banking sector
The integration of biometric identity verification within the banking sector marks a significant leap towards enhancing security and user experience. Recent research conducted by Candour Identity explore the perspectives and expectations of banking sector stakeholders regarding biometric identification, shedding light on its potential impacts and the readiness of the industry to embrace these changes.
Biometric verification adoption in banking
The research reveals a strong belief among banking sector operators that biometric identity verification will be widely utilized in the future, with over 90% of respondents supporting this view. The anticipation is that major adoption will occur within the next 2-3 years. Approximately 40% of respondents believe that half of the bank’s customers would adopt this technology within the first year, while another 40% expect adoption by 20-30% of customers, primarily among mobile banking users.
The preferred biometric method will be facial recognition
Among the various biometric methods, facial recognition is seen as the most likely to gain widespread acceptance in the banking sector. This preference is driven by its already increasing prevalence in other applications, which underscores the sector’s confidence in facial recognition as a secure and reliable biometric approach.
Biometric identity verification will impact on customer banking experience. Stakeholders expect biometric identity verification to significantly enhance customer security and streamline everyday banking activities while reducing fraud. However, there is a consensus that while this technology won’t directly lead to new value-added services for sale, it will provide a competitive edge in customer acquisition.
The banking community is highly optimistic about the potential of biometrics to enhance security and user experience
The banking sector is poised to transform customer interactions through biometric identity verification, moving towards a more secure and seamless banking experience. As the industry anticipates regulatory support and technological advancements, biometric solutions like those offered by Candour Identity are set to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of banking.
