Recently my online savings bank (CapitalOne 360, formerly ING Direct) forced me to change my credentials and now doesn't allow me to use a simple x-digit passcode to open my iPhone app.
I have to type in my strong web password every time – this is stupid; my iPhone is secured with a strong password/TouchID and I shouldn't have to type in my entire website password every time (for access through the web makes sense because anyone could try to access my account from anywhere and TouchID hasn't been introduced on Macs). So either I have to make my web-password insecure enough so I can remember it every time, or I have to look it up .. every time I use the App!
Looked around and don't see many options – does anyone know of a good bank or credit union (US-based) that has a decent iOS app with TouchID functionality?
Note: thought about using 1password browser/safari plugin, but features like check-deposit don't exist on the mobile site, and require the app.
I am willing to move my account to whatever bank takes my iPhone banking seriously.

After a bunch of searching, decided to move my CapitalOne 360 to Discover Bank. Only app I found, and they do everything I need so far (cash checks, bill pay, direct deposit). App has TouchID :)
Still not clear why no other major financial institutions offer TouchID support - even USAA!
