Umm is this an old article. I say that because of thie statement.

"All major banks must implement at least one biometric check for new customers opening accounts online by the end of 2024, making this the biggest change to banking security in decades."

Last I looked it's 2025.

I often find 'rehashed' articles here.

How is this going to work for the aged and infirm? What happens when you really need to send someone you trust to do your banking?

And how do oldies who don't have a smart phone with a camera get on? And in many instances access to their banks is no easy task either since so many have closed their doors, especially in rural areas . That in itself means a big distance to travel to get to a bank, and in many cases public transport is not available. Try as I might to stay afloat of technology, I am feeling, the older I get that I am falling through the cracks and becoming invisible....and that is a very scary situation

This has NOTHING to do with safety and everything to do with control. We've all been feeling it for quite some time now - the banks are making it harder and harder to access OUR OWN money.

Vote with your feet and walk away from NAB. You won't regret it...

I often find 'rehashed' articles here.

Probably called "cut and paste" and used to fill up space ...
Notably because the "authors" couldn't think of anything new.

So, what happens as you age, and your physical facial features gradually change, or you have an accident or illness [swelling, bruising, scars etc]. How does that work?

Well lets just hope it works better than the phones, my phone never recognises my photo,

I believe a lot still needs to be clarified before one can make a decision whether or not to use it.

This major bank will soon roll out a new security feature—and customers will need to click only ONE button.

That button is called a BRAIN!!!

That’s my mistake, I should’ve clarified that part now that we’re in 2025. Thanks for spotting it.

Obviously they would have to accept a large proportion onf facial feature not 100%. Hair colour changes and you could be unlucky enough to get a scar.

I put facial recognition on my phone to open it plus it also has a 6 digit code.

It’s very unlikely to ever affect me, as I’m not likely to open another bank account. I assume that would be the situation for most of us, so no use worrying about it.

I did also, but it won't recognise me.

 

[Jennie]

I sometimes use hubby's password to keep it "alive" he knows that I do this, I guess that when this comes in, I won't be able to.

 

[Littleboy8]

Really! Maybe go into your bank if you can or phone a friend and see if they can help you find out why.

 

[Cheezil]

And it stinks that we cannot avoid using banks at all because if we could avoid them at all I'm damn sure that's what I'd be doing if I could (but my employer won't pay me in cash & Clink won't either when my turn comes for that!
We are already being controlled into many ways & nothing we can do about it!

AI is already working on face recognition. Do not have false hopes of security
