Fifth Third Bank today announced the addition of Touch ID biometric capabilities to its mobile banking app for the iPhone, according to a press release.

Fifth Third Bank said it added Touch ID as a response to its customers' requests.

"Our customers' digital expectations continue to evolve - and many of those expectations are being set by using nonbank apps such as shopping and games," said Chad Borton, executive vice president and head of the consumer bank for Fifth Third Bank. "Fifth Third is continuing to evolve its digital experiences to do the same, creating fast and simple banking."

Fifth Thirs said that mobile banking is outpacing online banking with its customers, increasing 43 percent from 2014 to 2015 and experiencing 19 million mobile banking logins last year.
