Not to me. DOB is publicly available information, and I wouldn't even consider using voice as an authentication method. But perhaps that's because I have a fair bit of experience in those voice techs.

For a balance check? Seems like it's a relatively innocuous piece of information. They aren't transferring money, it's pretty much the same amount of information they would get looking over your shoulder at the ATM.

I consider my bank balance to be very sensitive information.

My point is that they have different levels of authentication required for different levels of access, and the voice id thing seems more reasonable in light of that.
