"At IPPB, we believe that banking should not just be accessible, but dignified too. With Aadhaar-based face authentication, we are ensuring that no customer is left behind due to limitations in biometric fingerprints or OTP verification. It's a step towards redefining
financial inclusion
at scale," IPPB MD and CEO R Viswesvaran said.
The feature will help banking for the elderly, differently-abled, and individuals with worn fingerprints in carrying out transactions, the statement said.
It will secure Aadhaar authentication without dependency on OTP or fingerprint sensors as well as enable safe banking during health emergencies, where physical contact may be risky, it added. PTI
