Most secure and seamless journey to date

TSB has partnered with Onfido , a global identity verification and authentication provider , so that TSB customers can sign up for a Spend and Save account simply by taking a photo of their identity document ( ID ) and a short video of their face .

Onfido ’ s award-winning technology first checks that the ID is genuine and then matches it to the user ’ s face using biometric technology . This ensures the ID is not fraudulent and that the person presenting the identity is its legitimate owner and is physically present – making it the most secure journey to date .

Customers can then start their digital journey anywhere , anytime and gain access to all the benefits of the Spend & Save account . The account is underpinned by TSB ’ s award-winning Fraud Refund Guarantee offering customers marketleading fraud protections .

New customers also benefit from a branch network with 220 TSB branches across the UK – as TSB combines cutting-edge technology and a digital focus with its high-street presence .
