The Central Bank of the UAE has made it clear: by 2026, financial institutions must eliminate SMS one-time passwords (OTPs). This regulation is reshaping the authentication landscape for banks across the region, and the time to prepare is now.
Legacy SMS-based authentication methods are not only non-compliant but also increasingly vulnerable to modern attacks. Forward-looking banks must begin transitioning toward secure, regulatory-compliant digital authentication solutions before it’s too late.
