Samsung Life Insurance Introduces KFTC’s “Facial and Bio-Authentication” to Enhance Security and Convenience

Samsung Life Insurance announced on August 3 that it has integrated the Korea Financial Telecommunications & Clearings Institute's “facial authentication” and “bio-authentication (FaceKey)” services into its mobile operations.

This marks the first time in the insurance industry that facial and bio-authentication services have been introduced. Samsung Life Insurance explained that, by utilizing uniquely human information that cannot be replicated, the company aims to completely block unauthorized transactions by others and proactively respond to increasingly sophisticated non-face-to-face financial crimes.

The “bio-authentication (FaceKey)” service can be accessed after a one-time registration on the Samsung Life Insurance mobile website or at Customer Plaza. Once registered, users can immediately utilize it for a range of financial services, including: ▲logging in ▲confirming final insurance transactions ▲non-face-to-face real-name verification, among others.

A representative from Samsung Life Insurance stated, “With growing attention to personal information protection, we became the first in the industry to proactively introduce the Korea Financial Telecommunications & Clearings Institute’s service, which is highly secure and reliable,” adding, “We will continue to expand a financial environment that is both the safest and most convenient for our customers.”
