Suncorp Bank upgrades banking app to allow fingerprint access
Australia-based Suncorp Bank has installed an upgrade to its mobile banking app, which will now allow IOS-using customers to access services by logging in with their fingerprint. The bank's CEO said that the change was made as a result of customer demand for "fast, simple, and convenient mobile banking options".&nbsp;
Suncorp Bank has made fingerprint login available for its mobile banking app in response to what it says is customer demand for quicker access to account balances and mobile banking services.

Suncorp Bank Digital Banking Manager, Simon Clarke said the bank’s iOS customers asked for the feature and the bank had now delivered on its commitment to offer “fast, simple, and convenient mobile banking options, empowering our customers to bank when, where, and how they want.”



Fingerprint ID is available from Wednesday, 12 August on iPhone 5s, 6, 6 Plus, iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 3.



Availability of the new app follows six mobile app releases by Suncorp in the past 12-months, including Australia’s first BillSplitter feature on a banking app.





“40% of our iOS customers already have a fingerprint ready device and are looking for more streamlined security options to manage their money on the go,” Clarke said.“The integration of fingerprint identification simplifies the user experience by offering another option for our customers to access the Suncorp Bank Mobile Banking App quickly and securely, without the need to remember a password or continually enter a passcode.”Clarke said Suncorp’s mobile app development team worked collaboratively with product, security, and marketing teams to bring the Fingerprint Login concept to life.
