Payments, Transfers, and Moving Money Smoothly

The Future: AI, Biometrics, and Better Support
AI That Stays Helpful, Not Hype
Smart assistants can categorize spending, forecast bills, and flag unusual patterns. Understanding how recommendations are generated—and when to override them—keeps the final decision in your hands, where it belongs.
Biometrics With Boundaries
Face or fingerprint logins add convenience, but backups matter. Learn how fallbacks, device security, and liveness checks work so convenience never outweighs consent, privacy, or recovery if a device is lost.
