The Future Of Authentication In Financial Services: Using Authentication To Build Trust

Almost two-thirds of U.S. consumers are willing to dump password-based authentication for better, more secure alternatives. The Future Of Authentication In Financial Services Playbook, a PYMNTS and Entersekt collaboration, analyzes responses from 2,719 consumers to understand their appetite for using options such as biometrics to access the accounts they have with their bank, finance, investment and insurance companies.

Inside the February Report
  • 64%: Share of consumers who say they use username/password combinations at least once a month to access their digital financial services accounts
