In the U.S., 11% of people believe their identity has been used by a fraudster to open an account, compared to 6% in <span class=\"xn-location\">Canada<\/span>, which is equivalent to 23 million Americans and 660,000 Canadians.\u00a0 As a result, more than two-thirds of Americans (72 percent) and Canadians (68 percent) acknowledge that banks&#8217; identity proofing is vital to protecting them from fraud. <\/p>\n<p>Once accounts are open, the vast majority of consumers across <span class=\"xn-location\">North America<\/span> are happy for their banks to use biometrics such as facial scan, fingerprint and\/or voiceprint to protect them.\u00a0 The survey found that 76 percent of Americans and 74 percent of Canadians would be happy to do this, with over 40% (U.S. 42%, <span class=\"xn-location\">Canada<\/span> 45%) even expecting biometric account logins to be set as part of the account opening process.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b><br \/>\n          <i>People Need to Develop a Skillset to Use Apps to Open Financial Accounts<\/i><br \/>\n        <\/b>\n      <\/p>\n<p>The survey also found that when consumers are asked to move out of channel to prove their identities, for example by mailing documents, visiting branches or even sending scanned documents by email many of them will abandon the application. On average, 25 percent of Americans will go to a competitor or abandon the application completely, which dips slightly for Canadians at 21 percent. <\/p>\n<p>While a significant portion of consumers can carry out the tasks needed to open a bank account using a mobile app, some will need help; particularly when they need to verify their identity. In general, a slightly higher percentage of Canadians say they can carry out these tasks compared to those in the U.S.: <\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Download the provider&#8217;s mobile app: 53 percent (U.S.) vs 57 percent (<span class=\"xn-location\">Canada<\/span>) <\/li>\n<li>Provide a selfie: 37 percent (U.S.) vs 38 percent (<span class=\"xn-location\">Canada<\/span>) <\/li>\n<li>Scan documents such as a passport or driver&#8217;s license: 46 percent (U.S.) vs 47 percent (<span class=\"xn-location\">Canada<\/span>) <\/li>\n<li>Scan a QR Code: 41 percent (U.S.) vs 42 percent (<span class=\"xn-location\">Canada<\/span>) <\/li>\n<li>Scan your fingerprint: 41 percent (U.S. and <span class=\"xn-location\">Canada<\/span>) <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;Consumers embraced the digital first economy during the past 12 months, but how, when and what digital channels they prefer still varies greatly across demographics,&#8221; added Lasher. &#8220;For banks, it&#8217;s critical they understand their customers and deploy solutions and policies that can operate across channels and adapt to their customers evolving preferences.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For more details and insights regarding the survey results:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Join the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3135591-1&amp;h=4122842639&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fico.com%2Fen%2Fevents-webinars%2Fsuccess-realized-digital-transformation-delivered&amp;a=FICO+Virtual+Event\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">FICO Virtual Event<\/a>. <\/li>\n<li>Download and view the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3135591-1&amp;h=3370531481&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fico.com%2Fen%2Flatest-thinking%2Febook%2Fnorth-america-consumer-survey-2021-identity-proofing-and-digital-banking&amp;a=eBook\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">eBook<\/a> as well as <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3135591-1&amp;h=2920960740&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fico.com%2Fen%2Flatest-thinking%2Finfographic%2Fnorth-america-survey-results-2021-what-do-customers-think-about-identity&amp;a=Infographic\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Infographic<\/a>. <\/li>\n<li>Listen to the new <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3135591-1&amp;h=3393473534&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fico.fm%2F&amp;a=FICO+podcast+series\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">FICO podcast series<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more information on FICO fraud solutions, visit <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3135591-1&amp;h=2193352905&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fico.com%2Fidentity&amp;a=www.fico.com%2Fidentity\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">www.fico.com\/identity<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>FICO&#8217;s Consumer Banking Survey was conducted between <span class=\"xn-chron\">December 2020<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-chron\">January 2021<\/span> using an online, quantitative poll of 14,000 consumers across 14 countries, carried out on behalf of FICO by an independent research company.
