I logged into my Starling Bank account on a new phone, and I had to film my face reading a 6 digit number. | |||||||||||||||||

They almost certainly have a photo of your passport or other identification. | |||||||||||||||||

Don't know about the US, but over here the last couple of years it has been a big wave of "enable biometrics sign-in! Totes safe, your face is the best ID, just click this checkbox, please, we would really like you to use it, pretty please" in the bank apps. No idea why they pushed it so hard, and it seems to have largely subsided now. | |||||||||||||||||
