Nairobi: May 23, 2016:
Guaranty Trust
Bank Kenya has launched an upgraded version of the Bank’s mobile App
introducing fingerprint recognition, a first in the market. With this
new capability, customers will be able to log onto their accounts by
identifying their individual fingerprints through
the Touch ID on iOS devices.
The
introduction of the fingerprint recognition brings added security on
the mobile banking platform. The enhanced security
measure comes at a time when more people are choosing to bank on their
mobile phones and security of the platforms is critical.
Commenting
on this innovation, GTBank Managing Director Ibukun Odegbaike said “At
Guaranty Trust Bank, we are driven by
the desire to continue enhancing our customer experience at every touch
point. Security in the era of mobile and digital banking is absolutely
critical. The fingerprint recognition on the new GTBank mobile App gives
our customers the control and confidence
to transact securely on the platform.”
At
the same time, the Bank has introduced card services on the upgraded
App. Customers will now be able to access all card
services including check card balances, pay and top-up cards, stop
card payments and generate card statements. These services are
applicable to both credit and debit cards.
