 Imagine the security measure you've relied on for years suddenly disappearing—how safe would you feel?

Singapore’s retail banks are phasing out one-time passwords (OTPs), a move that could leave many feeling uneasy. OTPs have long been trusted to secure online banking transactions, but as phishing attacks become more advanced, scammers are finding ways to exploit them. With rising concerns over the weaknesses in OTP-based security, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) is pushing for new, safer methods.

The big concern here is that without OTPs, many may wonder if their financial information will still be safe. What if the new security systems aren’t user-friendly? And what happens to those who aren’t tech-savvy enough to adapt quickly? The real risk lies in this transition phase, where both scammers and users will be adjusting. If consumers don’t stay informed, they could fall victim to these more sophisticated cyber attacks, leading to a wave of financial fraud.
