KCB to introduce fingerprint and voice identity security
The Kenyan bank, KCB Group, has announced its plans to introduce a biometric access system that will allow customers to access their accounts using their fingerprints or voice.
The lender has placed a tender inviting technical experts to introduce this technology to the bank, including its ATM machines.
The new technology is expected to make a significant impact on the reduction of fraud within the country.
Other banks, such as Equity Bank and Standard Chartered, have already introduced similar security to their systems.
