Journalists got acquainted with the draft of the Central Bank “On criteria for mobile applications of banks with universal license …”. It is understood from this that banks can open loans and deposits through their applications, but only if the application registers new customers by identifying them through EBS.
It is stated that the new rules could come into effect as early as August. Banks will have to develop mobile applications. According to Maria Mikhailova, general director of the National Payment Society, 10-15 million rubles will have to be spent on this. Alma Obayeva, head of the National Payments Council, added: “Not everything is going well with security in a single biometric system, and market participants have talked about it more than once.” She apparently believes that “the government really needs to hand over their citizens’ biometric data,” she says.
Recall that a person’s voice and face are used for identification in the Unified Biometric System.
