SecuGen has announced that its Hamster IV series of fingerprint readers have been delivered and implemented into on e of the largest retail banks of Kenya via Kenyan information technology company CompuLinx. The bank turned to CompuLinx with the need for a biometric authentication solution of its more than four million accounts across 115 branches as the country has no reliable national ID system that can help employees to reliably identify an individual.
The bank is utilizing a central database to store each customer’s biometric profile and will be accessed for one-to-one authentication in the case of any withdrawal on the account. The Hamster IV fingerprint readers will be utilized both for authentication as well as registration of biometric profiles for the customers.
