Türkiye’s Ministry of Justice has announced a new regulation concerning ATM security. Under this measure, individuals whose faces cannot be identified by ATM cameras will be unable to carry out transactions.
The new rule requires that an individual’s face be clearly visible to the ATM camera, but it does not involve face recognition technology like that used on mobile phones.
Furthermore, the new regulations specify that the footage from ATM security cameras will be stored for a minimum of two years for security purposes.
Additionaly, the new regulation mandates that banks can no longer open accounts without verifying the national ID card through its digital chip.Previously, opening a bank account only required a photocopy of the individual’s identification card.
Türkiye’s national ID system seamlessly integrates with various public and private services, including the E-Government Portal (e-Devlet) for online government services, healthcare access, voter identification, banking transactions, social security benefits, and international travel documentation. The smart card’s embedded chip, which houses biometric data and personal information, ensures enhanced security and functionality.
