Ubank Expands Passkeys to Online Banking
Award-winning digital bank Ubank is expanding Passkeys, a next-generation login technology, to online banking, following strong adoption in its mobile app.
Ubank was the first Australian bank to introduce Passkeys, launching the feature in its app in August 2024. Since then, 90% of digitally active app users have embraced Passkeys as their preferred login method, replacing traditional passwords and SMS codes with secure biometric and device-based authentication.
Now, customers who’ve registered a Passkey in the app can use it to log into online banking, making Ubank the first Australian bank to offer Passkeys across both mobile and online platforms.
Passkeys offer a safe and simple login experience. By expanding this technology to online banking, we’re giving customers more choice and convenience, while strengthening protection against phishing and impersonation scams.
Said by Andrew Morrison, Chief Customer & Digital Officer at Ubank.
