- JP Morgan Chase mandates biometric data (fingerprint or eye scan) for employee access to its new $3bn New York headquarters.
- Previously voluntary, biometric access is now required for most employees, with some exemptions allowing traditional ID badge use.
- The system aims to enhance security, following concerns after a high-profile shooting near JP Morgan's offices.
- Biometric enrollment remains voluntary at other JP Morgan offices, including London, where hand biometrics are used.
- The 'Work at JPMC' app serves as a digital badge and hub for employee services, including guest registration and meal pre-ordering.
- The move aligns with broader corporate trends toward stricter security and workplace monitoring, including JP Morgan's return-to-office policy.
