BBVA implements iris scanning feature to mobile banking app

Friday 17 November 2017 10:01 CET | News

Samsung and BBVA have presented an iris scanning feature, which will allow BBVA customers with Samsung smartphones to log on to the mobile banking service.

The bank becomes the first Spanish bank to deploy Samsung’s biometric authentication technology, Samsung Pass. Based on FIDO (Fast Identity Online) technology, this authentication method frees the user from having to write identifiers and passwords to start each session.

Iris scanning technology, integrated into the identity authentication solution, is considered one of the most secure methods of biometric identification, because the patterns of each iris are the most unequivocal password. For that reason, it’s one of the simplest and most secure ways to keep a smartphone blocked and protected against unwanted use.
