Cairo Amman Bank currently has more than 70 branches throughout the region. All Teller and Customer Services desks will be fully equipped with the IrisGuard IG-AD100 iris cameras.
IrisGuard iBank Suite incorporates novel identity security techniques such as digital certificates, digital nounces and encryption to provide data integrity and privacy of biometric data transmitted across the network. IrisGuard iBank Suite is based on its Iris Farm Architecture, which has been operating worldwide since 2001.
