[News] Westpac New Zealand Trials Fingerprint Login for Mobile Banking
As the Samsung Galaxy S5 devices were made available to New Zealanders last Friday, Westpac have just completed proof of concept testing to allow fingerprint scanning as a login for access to its mobile banking.
Here is a short demo clip on how this works. Hopefully the fingerprint scanning technology will be used for more than just to log in to mobile banking.

Westpac New Zealand hopes to have this method available for customers very soon, but could not provide an exact date just yet.
