Financial institution security

Global financial institution the ING Group is using a biometric identity management system featuring fingerprint readers to enable the company's dealers quickly and securely to access central dealing room computers.

ING is a banking, insurance and asset management organisation serving more than 60 million private, corporate and institutional clients in more than 50 countries.

As well as improving security and regulation compliance, the fingerprint system has improved dealer productivity. Previously security was maintained through complex passwords and there were delays when these needed to be changed.
