HDFC Bank, the country’s second largest private sector bank has reportedly entered into partnership with the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) to introduce eKYC (electronic Know Your Customer) norms in its branches. Further, the bank will install biometric readers for scanning fingerprints at most of its branches in a few months. This new eKYC procedure will allows a customer to walk in with an Aadhaar number and open an account by getting his fingerprint scanned.
