What is biometrics?

Biometrics is an authentication method that allows you to securely access our app. Using biological traits you can authenticate payments and log on using Face ID, Touch ID or fingerprint recognition.

How can I use biometrics in the app?

When you first set up the app, you will be asked if you would like to turn on using biometrics instead of your password. The option to turn this on and off is also available in the Settings page within My Profile.

Do I still need my password?

It’s still important to remember your User ID and Password, as there may be times where your device doesn’t recognise your face or fingerprint. You will also still need to log on with User ID and Password to use Internet Banking.
