Impact of Introducing Biometric ATM cards for Banking Industry: Bangladesh Perspective

Benazir Rahman1 and Shirin Akhtar2

At present people are hugely dependent on banking industry even for daily life transactions. Security measurements are the vital issue in banking transaction. In this modern digital age every aspects of our life need to be updated, clear and easy to adopt. Introducing biometric ATM card may indicate new possibilities for the banking industry. Banks must meet the certain standards of techno friendly banking system in order to ensure safe and secure banking environment. This study is focused on the technological adoption of biometric ATM cards by every type of customers of different banks. Different variables like as security of e- transactions, attracting illiterate people and farmers’, increment in SME transaction, competition with agency banking services and so on. Data has been collected from some of the commercial banks of Bangladesh. For the analysis of data principal component analysis has been used. Different statistical tools like as mean value, standard deviation, ranking mean values etc. have been used. Cronbach’s Alpha has been used to show the reliability of data. The study reveals that introducing biometric ATM cards in commercial banks will create significant impact over security of e-transaction, simplicity and attracting farmers for banking transactions etc. and has less impact over attracting aged people of the country, attracting unbanked people etc. This paper is useful for professionals related to e-banking.

Keywords: Biometric, ATM card, e-transaction, commercial banks, Bangladesh.

1. Introduction Banking services are growing and being popular to consumers and businesses rapidly over the years. In this digital global arena their services such as electronic funds transfer both deposit or withdrawal through ATM is the most common demand for each consumer group. By scratching the ATM card into the machine and entering PIN number, one can easily perform the banking transaction. Comparing to the developing countries Bangladesh is also moving fast in this context. But still the system is little bit complex or avoidable for some group of customers. Citizens especially who are senior or the illiterate or the techno averse they are facing difficulties in the same banking transactions. In this regards introducing biometric authentication technique in ATM systems may be a solution. A simple and easy way like - fingerprint, eye recognition, face recognition to use the ATM card can increase the involvement of those customers. The statement of problems are how biometric ATM cards influence the growth of banking industry and whether it works better compared to the recent system.

is focused on the technological adoptability in the easiest way to specific target group of consumers who are interested and trying to be familiar with ATM transactions. The prime objectives of the study are to show the impact of introducing biometric ATM cardsin banking industry and to compare the recent ATM system and the proposed system. Thefirst section deals with introduction and the second section of the paper focuses on the other’s literature, third section contains methodology, results of the study appears in fourth section. The last section concludes the study.

2. Literature Review 2.1 Background of the Biometric ATM Cards The term “biometrics” is derived from the Greek words “bio” (life) and “metrics” (to measure). Automated biometric systems have only become available over the last few decades, due to significant advances in the field of computer processing. Several studies had done in this field and most of them are emphasized on the security authentication of biometrics ATM card. In context of our country very little works are completed, particularly in the technological adaption issue is ignored in some cases. Biometric ATM are used for wide range of applications like for Banking, Coupons &Self service ATM. Biometrics ATM offer ATM type interface along with at-least one Biometrics capture device like Fingerprint Scanner, Iris camera, Palm/Finger Vein scanner , Face recognition camera. They are often called Multi-Biometrics ATM, Wall mount Biometrics ATM, Biometrics Devices / Machine. Most of the ATM in the past has been using ID cards to identify users but with the wide acceptance of Biometrics, a new generation of Biometrics ATM is being deployed for wide range of applications worldwide. Why use Biometric ATM? • ATM have Large Computer CPU & Memory that provide sufficient processing

capabilities to support high-end Biometrics Verification or Identification system • Touch screen Multilingual interface offer easy interaction and reduce manpower

cost • Easy to maintain & repair Biometric ATMs solve these issues & offer • Single/Multi factor Biometric Authentication: Fingerprint, Iris, Face, Pal vein • Multifactor Authentication: Card + PIN + Biometrics • Online or offline Authentication using smart cards • Card less Authentication • Biometrics is combination of card or PIN

� Moreover, the switch is also a stimulus to boost up cashless and electronic payments all over the country.

The following types of ATM and POS transactions are presently live through NPSB:

1. ATM channel is accommodating Balance Inquiry, Mini Statement, Cash Withdrawal transactions.

2. POS is accommodating Retail Purchase transaction. Bangladesh Bank is also looking forward to gradually accommodating the transaction scopes mentioned below under NPSB that depends on the readiness of commercial banks:

1. Over the counter (OTC through POS) Standing Order 2. ATM: Interbank Fund Transfer, Bill Payment, Interbank Cash Deposit 3. POS: Interbank Cash Withdrawal, Bill Payment.

In addition to the Bank’s own 160 ATMs, among the 51 banks, Prime Bank has joined National Payment Switch Bangladesh (NPSB) network during the year 2014, which enabled the Debit Cardholders of the Bank to enjoy cash withdrawal facility from other ATMs under NPSB Network. 2.2.1.2 Trends of Inter-Bank Transactions through ATM while using NPSB Online payment of Government dues through internet will greatly be enhanced using NPSB. NPSB has been launched as "soft go-live" since 27 December 2012 and now inter-bank ATM transactions among 46 banks are being routed through NPSB. Other banks are also likely to join to NPSB.

Bank has already been moved to smart cards and now is the time implement biometric authentication approach in ATM systems Rowley says, “Most insecure is a magnetic stripe with a PIN, more secure is a smart card with a PIN, and even more secure is a smart card with biometrics. In India various ideas are given by researchers for biometric authentication includingand retina, voice, etc. Fingerprint approach for identification given by Oko2012 not proved efficient as when citizen will move to ATM system, fingers may become dirty from natural environment and will not be able to access his account with ATM system, since fingerprints will not match from the one that was traced during identification. Secondly, a iris and retina approach proposed by Bhosale and 2012 as an identification method, but citizens might not want a laser beamed into their eyes for retina scan at every time he wants to access account through ATM. Thus, iris and retina as identification authentication proved inefficient. Vibration detector sensors were also proposed as a security system for ATM machines by Ajaykumar M. And Kumar, 2013. Voice was also proposed for security in ATM systems as a biometric with smart card. The cons were there at the same time as two citizens can have same voice

and one can easily hack and can fraud with another’s account. Thus, this paper came with an idea of face recognition technique with 3 different angles as a biometric authentication that cannot be lost, stolen, harmful, dirty, copied, forgotten and is always available. Thus, biometric device is ultimate attempt in trying to prove who you are. This paper is focused on the special features of the biometric technological adaptation of each and everytype of customers. The study has shown the prospects of introducing such facility by the banks and its impact over the profit trend which can be rarely seen in other’s literature. The following hypothesis has been derived for the study after reviewing other’s literature; H0: There is no significant relationship between introducing biometric ATM cards and growth of banking industry. H1: There is a significant relationship between introducing biometric ATM cards and growth of banking industry.

3. Methodology of the Study For the study a structured questionnaire has given among the particular sample to collect data which is considered as a primary source of data. A non-comparative scale questionnaire has created by using a five-degree likert scale consisting of such values;

Scale 1 2 3 4 5

Table 7 shows the first includes 10 sub-factors except user-friendly variable andit can be seen that among these reduction in fraudulent has got the highest importance and increment in SME transactions has got the lowest importance. The second factor also includes 10 sub-factors except reduction in fraudulent and it is found that user-friendly has got the highest importance and grabbing the attention of unbanked people has got the lowest importance. The third factor includes 7 sub-factors as well. During a face to face interview an Assistant Vice President of card and operations division of Dhaka Bank Ltd.(A. Khan2017, pers. comm., 15 January) told that there are around 7000 ATM booths are established in our country till 2017. According to him it’s a new concept which is highly secured and with the help of such system password fraudulent through skimming can be resolved. He mentioned that that its installation costs will be huge and also replacement will be expensive. He told that he don’t think that it will grab the unbanked illiterate people’s attention towards banking. Overall findings are that the null hypothesis is rejected as per the statistical analysis. The analysis shows significant impacts of selected variables over the growth of the industry.

5. Recommendation and Conclusion The study can be concluded by saying that introducing biometric ATM booths or cards will definitely boost up the progress of banking industry though this system will incur huge costing in its initial stage. It will improve the e-transaction security system. It will also become user-friendly foe aged people and women who are not used to with the hi-tech facilities. Grabbing illiterate unbanked people may be possible but not in a significant scale. As it is a very new concept for Bangladesh, various limitations like lack of data, less previous research etc. have been faced. Further research can be possible on Biometric ATM booths vs. agent-based booths and identifying the impact of introducing biometric ATM booths in small towns and rural areas.
