Eyeprint ID captures an image of the user’s eye and identifies the unique vein pattern that authenticates each customer – a feature which could potentially cut down on the number of security breaches that are commonplace within the mobile banking industry.

‘‘Eyeprint ID comes quickly after our introduction of Touch ID authentication earlier this year, which enables customers to log in with a fingerprint. Biometric technology allows us to provide innovative solutions to our customers’ need for secure, convenient account access.’’
FIB becomes one of the few financial institutions to use eye-specific biometric technology to improve its banking application. However a number of tech and e-commerce firms have explored the possibility of using biometric technology for its consumer base.
