Kelly’s number one tip to becoming more secure? Let’s just say it’s something he likes to call “password hygiene.” In this podcast episode, he breaks down how to maximize your security—and help stop fraud in its tracks!—by cleaning up your password strategy with some simple, effective tips.
Biometrics—the automated recognition of individuals by means of unique human characteristics—have come a long way! Kelly talks about how biometrics are changing the face of finance. He also gives us a short history lesson explaining how this technology originated.
One mention of notifications and alerts in the Mountain America mobile app and Kelly’s face lights up! “In this new digital world, it’s almost like we are transacting with fake money,” he says.
