From a security point of view biometric technology is easy and is widely accepted as the most reliable method of authentication. The system works by determining and analysing body attributes that are special to each individual and thus minimizes the vulnerability of duplication, unauthorized gain access to, and dangers connected with lost or stolen passwords. The Gulf Bank app utilizes a mix of both fingerprint ID and facial recognition for its biometric login.

The services included in the mobile app and online banking are: checking account details; making ad-hoc transfers; biometric verification for transfers; automatic IBAN data population; creating a standing order; setting future-dated transactions; and adding and managing beneficiaries, eliminating the need to visit a branch or call the contact center. Transferring funds is also simplified since the application will populate the remaining IBAN Beneficiary Bank details automatically. Customers can also use the app to securely share information including IBAN number and account holder name sharing, IBAN certificate sharing and printing, transaction confirmation sharing, and statement sharing; and much more.
