We store and protect your Voice ID data. We do this in the same way that we securely store all our customer data.
-
It may be possible for you to set up Voice ID even if you have a speech impairment. For Voice ID to work we need at least three strong recordings of your voice as you repeat the passphrase.
We don’t recommend setting up Voice ID if you use a voice box or speech synthesiser. They might be a security risk as some speech synthesiser machines have the same voice.
If Voice ID is not right for you, please let us know.
Can someone else access my account with my permission?
Since your voice is unique, someone else won’t be able to use Voice ID on your behalf. To protect yourself - don’t share your security number or security details with anyone else.
