Commonwealth Bank of Australia rolls out one-minute passport scan sign-up in digital banking push
Commonwealth Bank of Australia has launched an NFC passport chip verification for new account openings via its app, onboarding over 2,700 users since January. The feature, which matches the passport chip with a selfie, is currently limited to some Australian customers. Migrants and international students must still visit a branch for full access. CBA says the process meets anti-money-laundering rules.
