I have some experience working for financial institutions with access to highly confidential information, and haven't been required to produce my fingerprint for, like, ever.
Again, I can't say for all, and I'm sure there are certain companies and positions which require such measures, but I could not imagine requiring fingerprints (or even ID during interview) to be acceptable in most cases.
- Spooky23 1y agoYou probably worked in divisions where the auditors didn’t issue a finding yet, or outside the regulatory scope. It’s pretty common in finance, government and human services. Amazon is very aggressive with this - contractors in their facilities get regular background checks. Usually the employee goes to a third party run by a company like Idemia to collect the biometric. I can’t imagine not collecting the ID information of perspective employees - that’s just asking for fraud.
- hiatus 1y agoYou didn't have to do an in-person background check that included fingerprinting? When I worked at a bank this was required. It was run by a third party company not at the office.
- Gathering6678 1y agoNo, but I didn't deal with money directly. I dealt with corporate governance and capital market related information for the company, so perhaps other people needed to have their fingerprints taken.
