Financial Services Access Solutions



Protecting access to high profile areas in financial services institutions, such as bank vaults and IT centers, where personal information is stored.


In-branch bank fraud is an estimated $12 billion annual figure with fraud at retail locations being about the same which amounts to a $24 billion issue in the United States alone, as reported by US NEWS and WORLD REPORT. These numbers are growing and even considered conservative by many industry experts. Financial institutions are targets for customer identity theft and also require high security protection for access to high profile areas such as bank vaults or IT centers where personal information is stored.

This is why financial institutions are increasingly turning to biometric identification to secure access for employees as they come and go for work and enter restricted areas. Biometric solutions not only increase security significantly, they do so without creating any bottlenecks and allow workers to quickly authenticate themselves and track their hours.

L-1 Enterprise Access Solutions

L-1 fingerprint reader solutions use the company’s industry leading fingerprint matching systems in order to authenticate users in under a second. L-1’s patented Bioscrypt matching algorithm is sensor agnostic, and as a result can be ported to different readers without the need to re-enroll employees as your needs evolve. The fingerprint readers can be used in conjunction with smart cards and/or PINs for two- or multi-factor authentication.

L-1 3D face reader solutions are another unique solution found only at L-1. The face readers offer convenient hands-free access control as employees need to only pause in front of the face reader to authenticate themselves. The face reader’s structured light approach allows it to make a match even in poor lighting conditions. L-1 3D face readers also support smart cards and PINs for two- or multi-factor authentication.

Our Advantage

L-1’s solutions help secure restricted areas. With our solutions, financial institutions can provide multi-factor authentication for staff. Alone, a fingerprint or facial scan at the door identifies employees based on a database of enrolled images. Our finger and face biometric solutions perform sub-second database searches and identity verification to combat in-branch fraud.

L-1’s patented biometric technology does not store the actual fingerprint or facial image, but an unidentifiable template.
