Dealers at Dutch bankINGare using biometric fingerprint technology on the trading
floor to increase security and boost productivity.
The bank is using biometric fingerprint identity management
technology from
Bio-key International and
fingerprint readers from
Zvetco Biometrics.
Dutch biometric consultancy BioXS integrated Bio-key’s software
with Zvetco’s readers at ING, resulting in a fingerprint
identification solution that enables the global financial services
company’s dealers to access central dealing room computers quickly
and securely.
Reinier van der Drift, general manager at BioXS, said, “In the
past, complex passwords were required for ING dealers to access
secure trading room workstations, which were easy to forget or
lose, and they had to be changed often to maintain optimum
security. Now, access to ING’s dealer room computers is always at
the user’s fingertip.”
