Republic Bank Adds Biometric Technology to Its Mobile Banking App


Republic Bank is now offering its clients two password-free mobile banking experiences with Eyeprint IDTM from EyeVerify and Touch ID for its mobile banking application.

With the use of the mobile device camera, Eyeprint ID technology takes an image and pattern-matches the blood vessels in the whites of the eye, while Touch ID uses built-in fingerprint-sensor technology, eliminating the need to remember and type a password.

Both Eyeprint ID and Touch ID give Republic Bank clients the convenience to access their finances in a more simple and secure way. Additional benefits of these new features include the ability for Republic Bank clients to:

  • Log into their mobile banking with the same level of access as if they had entered their username and password
  • Avoid inconvenient mobile app lockouts and password-related calls to the Contact Center
  • Safeguard sensitive financial information as their unique eye print and fingerprints enables a secure log on to their mobile bank account

Republic Bank is committed to innovation and providing our clients with the most avanced banking solutions. "Eyeprint ID and Touch ID are the latest offerings from Republic Bank that continue to show our commitment to make banking easier for our customers," said Steve Trager, Chairman and CEO of Republic Bank. "Innovative solutions that allow us to better serve our customers while keeping their accounts secure is always a priority. Biometric technology is Republic Bank's latest demonstration of elevating our position in digital banking and security one step further."



Eyeprint ID and Touch ID are accessed through the Republic Bank mobile banking app available through Google (News - Alert) Play and iTunes App Stores.
