Financial services technology developer FIS has announced that it’s going to be embracing biometric security for its FIS Mobile services. Starting next month, users of FIS’ Mobile Banking app will be able to access account services by scanning their fingers using the iPhone’s Touch ID system.
 
The company decided to embrace the biometric system in an effort to improve both security and the user experience. In addition to allowing users to securely access account services via the app, the development also allows customers to use the app for authentication when doing banking at an ATM. Speaking in a press release, FIS Mobile Financial Services General Manager Douglas Brown said the new Cardless Cash system “is unlike anything else in the market,” and explained that being able “to access your account and withdraw money with just your fingerprint will make ATM access faster, safer and easier for users. It’s a true homerun.”
