Voice ID is a secure method that lets you use your voice to verify your identity when you call us. This streamlines the identification process making it faster and safer for you. 
 
Voice ID is not a recording of your voice. Your voice print is a numeric sequence representing your unique voice. It’s captured and stored in a secure location using industry-leading encryption methods. Importantly, your voice print can’t be played back and can’t be used to reverse engineer your voice.

Why use Voice ID?

• Voice ID is more convenient than answering multiple security questions. It works in the background to identify your identity while you speak with us.
• Your voice print is unique like your fingerprint. Voice ID is a secure and easy way to verify your identity.
• We can capture and store fraudulent voice prints that can be shared across our businesses to assist with fraud prevention.

How to set up Voice ID

The next time you call us, you’ll be given the option to enrol in Voice ID. Setting up Voice ID won’t make your call any longer. During the call we’ll record you speaking to capture the distinct unique characteristics of your voice in a voice print. We can then use your voice print to verify your identity the next time you call us.
