[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Hyung-gil] Heungkuk Fire & Marine Insurance announced on the 19th that it has established a simple authentication service based on biometric authentication technology (K-FIDO) in its mobile application.


K-FIDO is an authentication service that combines 'certificate' and 'FIDO (Fast IDentity Online)', replacing the existing public certificate password with biometric authentication methods such as fingerprint or facial recognition.


Users can select one of the public certificate, mobile phone, or KakaoPay for identity verification and then register their fingerprint or Face ID. After registration, they can log in with a single authentication.


Once initially registered, users can easily and quickly use all services, including electronic financial transactions such as insurance premium payments and contract loans, using only the designated fingerprint or Face ID authentication.



Seo Chung-hwan, Head of Customer Service Team at Heungkuk Fire & Marine Insurance, said, "This was developed to enhance customer accessibility and convenience, and we plan to continuously expand customized services for customers in the future."
