U.S. Bank this week announced enhancements to its iPhone app, including Touch ID integration to enable users to log into their account with a fingerprint. 

"We have been looking at ways to use biometrics such as voice and fingerprint to authenticate identification for several years," said Gareth Gaston, executive vice president and head of omnichannel banking at U.S. Bank. "Today we have critical mass. With more and more devices using fingerprint as an option to unlock tablets and phones, customers are not only comfortable with fingerprint login, they expect it. This enhancement is one more way U.S. Bank is putting innovation and technology to work for millions of customers."

Touch ID is available for U.S. Bank customers using iPhone 5s and later models, according to a press release. The feature will be available in future releases of the U.S. Bank mobile app for iPad and Android.

In addition to Touch ID login, U.S. Bank said customers will see improvement in mobile check deposits. Updated software in the app makes it easier to get a usable image on the first try by enhancing image capture from various angles or under low light conditions, according to the announcement.
