Most remote biometric checks are vulnerable to fraud, simply because the biometric reader is in the hands of the potential fraudster and therefore vulnerable to attack. However remote biometric checks using voice biometrics are less vulnerable, providing that the use of recordings is prevented. This is easily done by promting the customer to say something specific, but different every time, and then check that the right words were repeated - and that the biometic matches. ALL the technology used to check the biometric is then in the hands of person checking the biometric, rather than the fraudster.
