00:00The Banco Central ng Pilipinas urges banks to future-proof its security systems as one-time
00:06passwords or OTPs may become obsolete in the future.
00:10BSP Deputy Governor Elmore Capule says upgrading the systems will prevent clients from being
00:15defrauded.
00:16He adds the BSP will assess the upgrades depending on the type of bank, as some banks, such as
00:20rural or thrift banks, may be satisfied with OTPs, while digital banks need a more robust
00:26and advanced system.
00:27Capule did not name specific alternatives for authentication, but mentioned methods
00:31such as passwordless authentication.
00:34Neighboring central banks, such as Singapore's Monetary Authority, have begun gradually phasing
00:38out OTPs for bank account logins as local cases of financial scams rise.
00:43In 2024 alone, the Philippine Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center received over 10,000
00:49scam complaints, with victims losing about P198 million.
