During this week’s News & Views episode, The Fintech Times team turns its attention to the industry going digital.
Tom and Polly return to the podcast this week, kicking proceedings off by discussing news from business and tax app ANNA, which is implementing re-authentication into its services. Tom explains that if someone tries to access an ANNA account from a new device, a biometric re-authentication notification will appear, prompting the user to submit a selfie to ensure the user is who they say they are.
The team then turned their attention to how this method could help stamp out fraud, and discuss their thoughts on some of the myths surrounding re-authentication and how they feel about the introduction of more re-authentication across the apps and services they use.
Finally, Polly explains the rise of mobile payments in the Nordics, and this week’s podcast duo reveal their predictions for digital payments in the region and beyond.
