ABA Bank continues to lead digital banking innovation with FacePass Secure, a facial recognition feature within its flagship mobile banking application, ABA Mobile, that enhances security and convenience. FacePass was introduced in 2024, and its adoption and expanded use for critical transactions make it a key security tool today.

ABA Mobile was the first banking app in Cambodia to integrate its own built-in live facial recognition technology. While certain phone models have device-level authentication systems—for example, iPhones with Apple Face ID—ABA Mobile’s FacePass works across both iOS and Android devices equipped with a front-facing camera capable of live facial recognition. This ensures that any modern smartphone can enable FacePass for secure banking, regardless of brand, and that only genuine ABA account owners can proceed with authentication.

Today, FacePass can be used to secure high-value transactions, sensitive data changes, eKYC (electronic Know Your Customer) during Instant Account opening, and app reactivation. When FacePass is prompted, it almost instantly completes selfie verification, ensuring both speed and security.

According to ABA Bank, over 90 per cent of ABA Mobile users have now activated FacePass, demonstrating a high level of customer trust in the functionality of the added security feature. The bank assures that facial data is encrypted and stored on secure servers, in compliance with international security and privacy standards. No data is shared with third parties or ever sent outside of Cambodia.

“FacePass Secure combines advanced biometrics with effortless convenience, giving customers confidence every time they use ABA Mobile,” said Malypoeur Plong, Head of Digital Product Development Division at ABA Bank. “It shows our commitment to delivering banking experiences that are both safe and simple.”

“For instance, when a sensitive action is performed, FacePass Secure ensures only the rightful owner can proceed—making unauthorised access virtually impossible,” she added.

Make sure to enable FacePass on your ABA Mobile today for a faster, safer banking experience.
