These terms of service ("Terms") apply to and regulate your use of the DNBC Financial Canada Limited Biometric Authentication Service (“DNBC Biometric Authentication Service”) provided by DNBC Financial Canada Limited (“DNBC” or “we”). By registering to use the DNBC Biometric Authentication Service, or using the DNBC Biometric Authentication Service, you accept and agree to these Terms. If you do not accept the Terms, please stop accessing and using the DNBC Biometric Authentication Service.
These Terms are in addition to and are to be perused together with the Universal Terms of Service.
In the event of any conflicts or inconsistency, these Terms shall prevail over the Terms of Service of DNBCnet Internet Banking and DNBCnet Mobile Banking App (“DNBCnet App”) corresponding to any matter concerning the DNBC Biometric Authentication Service to the extent of such conflict or inconsistency.
The DNBC Biometric Authentication Service is a service provided by DNBC where you may use your fingerprint, facial identification scan, or other biometric verification methods that may come into practice intermittently while registered in your mobile device (as defined below) instead of your DNBCnet Internet/Mobile Banking username and password as an additional login method to gain access to the DNBCnet App. You are liable to the mobile devices that you use to gain access to the DNBC Biometric Authentication Service.
The DNBC Biometric Authentication Service is provided as part of the DNBCnet App, available for the following operating systems:
- for devices operating on the Android operating system ("Android Devices"): Version 6.0 or later (under development for Tablets) on which biometric verification software is installed and/or enabled; and
- for devices operating on the iOS operating system ("Apple Devices"): iOS version 11.0 or later and iPhone 5S or newer and registered with Apple Inc's Touch ID;
(the Apple Devices and the Android Devices are hereafter aggregately referenced as the "Mobile Devices" and respectively a "Mobile Device").
You acknowledge and agree that in order to use the DNBC Biometric Authentication Service, you will need to:
- be a client of DNBC and be a legitimate user of the DNBCnet Internet Banking and DNBCnet App;
- have installed the DNBCnet App on your Mobile Device;
- register to use the DNBC Biometric Authentication Service by completing the registration process after signing in to the DNBCnet App with your DNBCnet Internet Banking or Mobile Banking username and password;
- own at least one fingerprint or facial identity stored/registered in your Mobile Device;
- understand that once you have successfully registered with the DNBC Biometric Authentication Service, any fingerprint and facial identity other than yours that is stored/registered on your Mobile Device can be used to access DNBCnet App;

Once your Mobile Device is successfully registered with the DNBC Biometric Authentication Service, you may use any of the fingerprint or facial identification that is stored/registered in your Mobile Device to access the DNBCnet App on your Mobile Device(s) as an alternative to signing in to the DNBCnet App with your username and password. You may still choose to access the DNBCnet App using your DNBCnet Internet Banking or Mobile Banking username and password as another form of your login credentials.
You acknowledge that the authentication is performed by the DNBCnet App by cooperating with the facial scan and/or fingerprint authentication on your Mobile Device and that you agree to the authentication process.
You can deactivate the DNBC Biometric Authentication Service at any time by navigating to the DNBCnet App settings once you are logged in.
