However, as the bank notes in its news portal, the updated version of its iOS mobile banking app boasting the facial recognition ability only offers this feature to owners of Apple’s latest smartphone, iPhone X. Users can scan and save their face details in the options menu of the app and use Face ID to enter their account. The feature has yet to be made available to owners of other versions of iPhone, according to Financial Tribune.
