Finger Vein Authentication

BOCHK's "Finger Vein Authentication" provides you with instant access to fast and secured banking services at all branches, ATMs and BOCHK iServices. You are required to register the “Finger Vein Authentication” once only and then get authentication through your finger vein instead of signature or ATM card password to conduct designated transactions at ease.

"Finger Vein Authentication" incorporates near-infrared LED to scan the finger and identify your unique finger vein pattern. This serves as a secure identity verification method as each person has his/her unique and non-repetitive pattern that does not change after adulthood.

Service Benefits

Safe

Finger veins are found beneath the skin's surface, creating a "living password" with blood flow that is difficult to forge.

Reliable

Finger vein patterns are not altered by sweat, stains or peeling on your fingers, therefore the accuracy of identification will remain unaffected. The system can instantly compare your registered finger vein information to verify the identity.

Encrypted

You are required to register the "Finger Vein Authentication" once only. Afterwards, you can use your finger vein to replace signature or ATM card password to authorize bank transactions at ease.

Multi-channel applied

You can use “Finger Vein Authentication” in branches, ATM and BOCHK iService with ease.
