JP Morgan Chase has told staff moving into its new headquarters in New York that they must share their biometric data to access the multibillion-dollar building.

The investment bank had previously planned for the registering of biometric data by employees at its new Manhattan skyscraper to be voluntary.

However, employees of the US’s biggest bank who have started work at the headquarters since August have received emails saying that biometric access was “required”, according to communications seen by the Financial Times.

Biometric access requires staff to scan their fingerprints or eye to gain access through security gates in the lobby instead of swiping their ID badges.

You could not sign me up fast enough to be able to open my office’s door with my fingerprint or eye.

The systems that handle biometric logins for gigantic companies are usually pretty bulletproof and have been audited many times.

I’m guessing people on here will think this is the second coming of the devil though lol. I can only imagine the outrage if FaceID/TouchID didn’t already exist on phones and Apple/google/etc added it in 2025 🤣
