Touch ID is Apple’s fingerprint authentication technology. You will be able to choose if you want to use a fingerprint instead of your username and password to access your Wauchula State Bank mobile banking app.

Touch ID is an Apple-specific feature. Currently, Touch ID is available for iPhone 5S and higher, running iOS 8 or above. The mobile app also supports the fingerprint ID for Android users.

Touch ID allows you to log into the Wauchula State Bank mobile app with fingerprints that are enabled on your mobile device. Once Touch ID is enabled for the mobile app, you place your finger on the home button and the device reads the fingerprint to confirm it is an authorized fingerprint. When your fingerprint is confirmed, you are automatically signed into the app.

When you enable Touch ID log on, any fingerprint stored on your device—now or in the future—can be used to log into the Wauchula State Bank app. You should only enable Touch ID if you are the only person who has registered fingerprints on your device. You can add or remove fingerprints in your device settings. You can disable Touch ID at any time in the Settings menu of the Mobile Banking App.

If you already have Touch ID enabled on your device, you will be prompted to set up Touch ID the next time you log into the Wauchula State Bank mobile app.

You can enable Touch ID from the Settings menu on the left panel of your Wauchula State Bank app.

No. Fingerprints must be added to your device within the Settings menu of your iPhone.

No. Once Touch ID is enabled, your fingerprint is the only required login credential.

Yes. You always have the option to log in using the four-digit PIN enabled at the time the fingerprint login was established, or simply click “Cancel” when the app asks for your fingerprint and type in your username and password.

If your mobile device is lost or stolen, and/or you feel your log on credentials may have been compromised, please call Wauchula State Bank immediately. We also recommend that you contact your wireless service provider to have your device deactivated.

You can disable Touch ID in the Settings menu of the Mobile Banking App.
