Why/how would my bank have my biometrics?
- chatmasta 2y agoThey almost certainly have a photo of your passport or other identification.
- subscribed 2y agoFor the purpose of KYC checks. That doesn't mean every service provider (discord, roblox, pornhub) should have the same.
- chatmasta 2y agoNo, but the original thread was about providing your credit card number to these service providers. I’m saying that’s one hop from your bank, who has your biometric information.
- sph 2y agoI logged into my Starling Bank account on a new phone, and I had to film my face reading a 6 digit number.
- hn_go_brrrrr 2y agoWow, I would move my money elsewhere rather than comply with that.
- sph 2y agoYeah I agree, the problem is that my money is already in there, so I have no choice but to comply.
- Joker_vD 2y agoDon't know about the US, but over here the last couple of years it has been a big wave of "enable biometrics sign-in! Totes safe, your face is the best ID, just click this checkbox, please, we would really like you to use it, pretty please" in the bank apps. No idea why they pushed it so hard, and it seems to have largely subsided now.
