UnionBank launches mobile banking app requiring selfies

In a report published by Manila Bulletin, the UnionBank of the Philippines launched an EON mobile app that uses facial recognition to log in, which is more secured and easy to use for receiving payments without going to a bank, setting an account, or purchasing things online.

When using the EON app, the card holder is required to take a selfie and to blink for added security. This helps prevent unauthorized users from hacking accounts.

It is also convenient to use whenever the user loses his card because he can just buy a new EON Starter Kit and link the new EON card to his account with the app.

Buy EON cards at 7-eleven stores or buy the EON Starter Kit (Set of 2) online on Lazada for P300.

Download EON PH via Google Play or App Store.
