First National Bank of Pennsylvania, the largest subsidiary of F.N.B. Corporation (FNB), today announced the addition of Touch ID® fingerprint-based authentication to its FNB Direct mobile banking app.

The latest enhancement to FNB's best-in-class mobile banking offering, Touch ID allows customers using supported mobile devices to log in to FNB Direct with just the touch of a finger.

With Touch ID, customers will have even more streamlined, secure access to the majority of their mobile banking functions, including monitoring account balances and activity, transferring funds, making mobile deposits or setting customized alerts. For an added layer of security, customers will be required to input their mobile banking password to use certain features that transfer money outside of their FNB accounts, such as bill pay and Popmoney® person-to-person payments.

"FNB is committed to innovation, and we are excited to add yet another enhancement to our mobile banking experience with Touch ID," said Vincent J. Delie, Jr., Chief Executive Officer and President of F.N.B. Corporation and First National Bank. "With the addition of Touch ID, we are able to provide our customers with one of the most comprehensive mobile offerings in the industry, delivering leading-edge technology and additional security."

Building on FNB's robust mobile banking offering, Touch ID joins a series of previously announced upgrades, such as the introduction of Instant Balances, mobile access to Popmoney, which was already part of Online Banking, fully customized alerts and mobile debit card controls with CardGuardSM.

Touch ID is available to customers using the FNB Direct mobile banking app on an iPhone® 5s or later. The FNB Direct app may be used by any FNB Online Banking customer and is free to install. It is available for download with Touch ID in the Apple App Store. FNB Direct is also available in the Google Play store. Message and data rates from mobile carriers may apply. System availability and response time are subject to market conditions.
