Discover Mobile App Users Now Can Log In with a Glance on Apple's iPhone X
Discover announced today that cardmembers and Discover Bank customers
who own an iPhone (News - Alert) X can take advantage of Face ID to sign in to the
Discover Mobile app. The feature offers app users an intuitive and
secure mobile log-in experience that requires no more than glancing at
the device.
Latest in the line of mobile enhancements for Discover Mobile app users,
Face ID on iPhone X revolutionizes authentication using the
state-of-the-art TrueDepth camera system for a secure and private way to
authenticate. A Discover Mobile app customer only needs to look at the
device to open the app.
"The ease and security Face ID offers to our app users is an extension
of our overall commitment to providing the best possible customer
experience, whether that's through our mobile app, by phone or on the
web," said Szabolcs Paldy, vice president of e-business for Discover.
"Face ID provides Discover customers with an added security convenience
at sign-in that requires no more than a quick glance at their iPhone X."
Face ID support follows closely on the heels of other notable mobile
enhancements for Discover including bank customers being able to perform
wire transfers on the app and the recent Discover card announcement
unveiling Cashback
Bonus® via Apple Pay, which allows cardmembers to
redeem their Cashback Bonus rewards for a statement credit through Apple (News - Alert)
Pay. Apple Pay is the easy, secure and private way to pay. Discover was
the first major credit card issuer to offer the ability to redeem
rewards after a purchase through Apple Pay.
Other mobile features in the Discover Mobile app include:
-
Mobile Deposit, where bank customers can deposit checks with their
mobile devices by snapping a photo
-
In-App Messaging, a customer service option that enables cardmembers
to communicate with Discover's live U.S.-based customer service agents

prevent new purchases, cash advances and balance transfers

Apple® Touch ID to sign in on supported iOS devices, and
