"Itsme mandates facial recognition in Belgium from 2027 - update
Belgian users of itsme will only be able to create an account using facial recognition starting in 2027, HLN reports. The creators aim to combat fraud in this way. Itsme has 8 million Belgian users and has also been available in the Netherlands since last month.
The itsme measure is part of a plan intended to make banking safer in Belgium. HLN reports that as a result, only the owner of the itsme account can create an account. A spokesperson told Tweakers that itsme compares users’ faces with the photo on their ID card. This is an ‘extra layer’ on top of the current activation process.
In addition to itsme, banks are also taking measures to combat fraud. For instance, banks may slow down transfers again or ask for every transaction whether the user wants to execute it immediately or with a delay. Additionally, a four-hour waiting period will apply again starting this autumn when users increase their limit.
Furthermore, users must be clearly shown the details of every transaction, including the amount and the recipient’s details. Card readers that cannot display this information will be gradually phased out. Banks are also making it more difficult to withdraw money from a savings account. This can be done through a waiting period or by making such transactions possible only at a physical branch.
In Belgium, 85 percent of adults use itsme. The app has also been available in the Netherlands since last month. There, the app is the replacement for the iDIN service, which will disappear at the end of 2027. In the Netherlands, itsme is already rolling out facial recognition, a spokesperson confirms.
Update, Thursday 4:23 PM – The article initially stated that facial recognition would become mandatory for approving transactions. This is incorrect: facial recognition will only become mandatory when activating the account. The article has been adjusted accordingly."
