JPMorgan requires staff to hand over biometric data to access new headquarters New York bank is imposing eye and fingerprint scans amid heightened security concerns at corporate offices

JPMorgan Chase has told staff moving into the US bank’s new multibillion-dollar Manhattan headquarters they must share their biometric data to access the building, overriding a prior plan for voluntary enrolment.
