"VTB's
accredited commercial biometric system is the first CBS in the country to
operate at an event of all-Russian scale. Biometric identification and
authentication services in finance make financial services available to any
Russian citizen regardless of geography. In addition, biometric authentication
services help ensure the safety of clients' funds, improve client experience
and the quality of service," said Sergei Bezbogov, Deputy Head of the
Technology Block and Senior Vice President of VTB.
After
registration, the jubilee user was presented with gifts from the Center for
Biometric Technologies and VTB Bank. At the end of the ceremony, Anastasia was
given a tour of the pavilion and demonstrated advanced fintech solutions,
including a mechanism for accruing digital game rubles.
Anastasia became the millionth user who registered her data directly in the UBS. At the same time, more than 50 million biometric samples - facial images and voice recordings - were transferred to the secure state system as part of the data import procedure. They are stored in encrypted form separately from other personal data of citizens and never leave the perimeter of the Unified Biometric System.
You can register in the UBS in the mobile application "State Services Biometrics" or in person at banks across Russia. Mind that in-person registration provides access to the full list of biometric services, while remote registration provides access only to low-risk services.
