In a first-of-its kind move among small finance banks, Equitas SFB the first private sector bank from Tamil Nadu post-Independence, has introduced facial recognition-based authentication in its mobile banking app.<\/p>\n
Equitas is the first SFB, and one of the few banks in the country to introduce facial recognition for customers to login to their mobile banking app. This eliminates the need to remember complicated passwords or MPIN.<\/p>\n
Vanamali Ranganathan Sridharan, Chief Technology Officer at Equitas Small Finance Bank, said, \u201cWith Equitas SelfeLogin, customers are now able to bank and pay from the mobile banking app with ease. They can safely login to the app within seconds by just using their mobile camera. Innovation to deliver a simple and secure banking experience for our customers is the key driver for this initiative. There\u2019s a whole generation of customers becoming more comfortable with biometric authentication technology, and we are confident that they will find this feature convenient and relevant.\u201d<\/p>\n
Commenting on this strategy, PN Vasudevan, MD & CEO, Equitas Small Finance Bank, said, \u201cFrom the beginning, the Bank has been working on technology as a key driver of growth and has a roadmap to progress towards this.
