By Kao Shih-ching / Staff reporterFacial recognition technology has begun making its way into Taiwan’s banking sector, with more automated teller machines (ATMs) being equipped with facial recognition software. Taishin International Bank (台新銀行) yesterday announced that it would expand the application into online banking services. Taishin, which has installed ATMs with facial recognition software at four of its local branches and three convenience stores, said it adopted the technology for wealth management services last month. Clients using Apple Inc’s iPhone X smartphone can log into the bank’s Web site using the device’s facial recognition feature, the lender said. CTBC Bank (中國信託銀行) and E.Sun International Bank (玉山銀行) at the end of last year also begun installing facial recognition software at some of their ATMs.
