No financial institution deals with me with voice recognition, or even holds a voice recording of me to the best of my knowledge, and certainly none with permission.
Even if there was, there are a lot more layers of security before access to any account.
I have never known any bank or financial business that will part with money with a 'Yes.'
I am, however, a bit worried about face and retina access, as I have this vision of someone stealing my hard-earned with my head dripping blood and tucked under his arm, or with my eyes in his hand!

Maybe so or not, TwoBills, but I was not going to give in, even with one word, to a robot asking me questions on a seemingly random phone call, even with a caller ID attached. If United Healthcare really needs to talk to me about anything I actually need to know, they can do better than that.
I rarely need to call the investment company where our IRAs are parked, but when I do, the recording that answers is always asking to keep my voice as part of the identifying process. Of course, the actual person who finally answers is on a recorded line and that is OK, and even a good thing, and has been standard practice forever — but to get in the door by voice? I just don’t want to do that. It’s creepy. I think I am getting by it, but who knows.
I completely agree with you about that face and eyeball thing. As attributed to The Bard — along with a few others, “The eyes are the window to the soul.”…..EEK! What will they try to get next!
