Bank “Открытие” launched money transfers through the customer's photo in its mobile application “Открытие. Переводы” . As reported in the press release of the bank, there was no such function in the world before.
The service works with the help of the neural network facial recognition system, which allows the client to be identified with a high degree of accuracy by his biometric data. To use the service, you need to download the application "Opening. Translations" on your smartphone, select the "transfer by photo" in the main menu and take a picture of the recipient on the smartphone's camera or select his photo from the gallery.
After that, the image will be sent to the bank's face recognition system, which will determine the recipient and display the masked number of his bank card into the application, to which the transfer will be made. The sender will only have to enter the details of his card to send the transfer or select it from the list previously saved.
