Bank securely while on the move
As mobile usage grows, enhanced mobile security is essential
Whether it's biometrics, new apps or new features on your mobile phone there are many ways to keep your phone safe. We help by doing everything we can to keep our mobile app safe.
Let your face keep you safe
We use the latest technology to recognise the things that make your face unique, so we know it’s you in control of your money. Biometric approval gives you a handy alternative to your card reader and you can use it to authorise:
- First time payments to someone new through the app or Online Banking
- Payments in the app over the £1,000 daily limit without needing to go to Online Banking
- Changes to your payment limits and personal details in Online Banking
It makes managing your money simpler and helps stop fraud.
Set up biometric approval in just a few steps
It only takes a couple of minutes to register your face. You just need the Isle of Man Bank app plus a forward-facing camera.

If you don’t have notifications on, we’ll ask you to turn them on. This will help when you get an approval request.
When we ask you to approve something later, you just look at the camera and blink to confirm #ItsReallyMe
Voice recognition is coming soon
Your face is just one way of staying safe. Soon you’ll be able to use your voice - look out for an update on that.
