By Bianca Gonzalez

Bank of #Ireland announced it will invest more than €34 million (roughly US$36 million) to upgrade its phone and CRM systems, including adding #voice #biometrics for authentication.

The use of voice biometrics will improve fraud protection and reduce waiting times for customers. This investment follows an announcement of €60 million (US$64 million) on ATMs and branch networks, and €50 million (US$54 million) on fraud protections.

“This is the largest single investment in enhanced systems and technology for our frontline colleagues in branches and contact centers that the Bank has ever made. We receive more than 11,000 calls on average each day and when customers call us they want speed, expertise and security,” says Susan Russell, CEO, Bank of Ireland Retail Ireland.

“This investment equips colleagues with the latest technology to provide better and faster resolution of calls, and colleagues will now have a ‘single view’ of the customer at the touch of a button providing them with instant access to all their information without having to talk to another part of the bank. This investment will make things faster and better for customers and for colleagues, it’s a win-win.”

Customers use biometrics in banking around the world
This follows a global trend of banks implementing biometrics to streamline services. As many as 75 percent of Brazilian banks use face biometrics to identify clients according to the first phase of a 2024 survey on banking technology by Deloitte Consultoria for the Brazilian Federation of Banks. Twenty-four banks participated, amounting to 81 percent of all banks in Brazil.

Indian commercial banks are considering using iris scans to verify transactions, particularly for senior citizens, as fingerprint biometrics may be less reliable.

In Australia, Waave is introducing the biometrically secured Waave Wallet and for its pay-by-bank product that was launched in early 2023. Customers can use their #fingerprint or #Face #ID for authentication before authorizing payments.See less

Samsung Unveils World’s First OLED Display With Built-In Fingerprint and Blood Pressure Sensing Anywhere Across The Screen

Bild/Foto
Samsung Display has unveiled a new generation of OLED panel that it says can recognize fingerprints anywhere on the screen and even check the user’s heart rate, blood pressure, and stress levels using multiple simultaneous finger readings.

“To accurately measure a person’s blood pressure, it is necessary to measure the blood pressure of both arms,” notes Samsung Display’s press release. “The Sensor OLED display can simultaneously sense the fingers of both hands, providing more accurate health information than existing wearable devices.”

Samsung did not provide information on the accuracy rate or speed of its Sensor OLED display, nor did it explain whether the authentication and biometric readings could be taken at the same time, but the company clearly has confidence that the technology is destined for smartphones in the near future.

Well, this would certainly raise the game considerably for fingerprint, as well as health, sensing. It certainly looks like new technology is focussing on better cameras and health/fitness tracking in a big way.

Researchers Find #Bluetooth Signals Can be Fingerprinted to Track Smartphones

Source: https://thehackernews.com/2022/06/researchers-find-bluetooth-signals-can.html

The #hardware defects, on the other hand, stem from the fact that both Wi-Fi and #BLE components are often integrated together into a specialized "combo chip," effectively subjecting Bluetooth to the same set of metrics that can be used to uniquely #fingerprint Wi-Fi devices: carrier #frequency offset and IQ imbalance.
