Introducing the latest version of the Barclays Biometric Reader.

Innovative finger-vein reading technology uses infra-red light to securely identify you by the unique pattern of veins in your finger. Not only does this replace the need to remember pins or passwords, it means that nobody else can pretend to be you, which reduces the risk of fraud.

Setting up your device is easy and once your finger is enrolled, your vein pattern is saved on a Smart SIM which stays with you. Barclays will never hold your vein pattern and there is no public record of it.

So what’s new?

You can connect this new device by USB or Secure Bluetooth Smart Technology. There’s even more if you use our digital channels. That’s because the device displays details of your transaction, which you can check against the details on your computer screen. This process has been designed to combat the latest fraud threats.

We have invested in this compact, wireless and more secure biometric reader to make banking easier, and to help protect you from fraud. To find out more about, speak to your relationship manager.
