BBK has introduced the enhanced eKey 2.0 authentication service on its BBK Business platform, enabling corporate customers to complete identity verification more quickly and securely when opening a new business account with BBK.
BBK continues to strengthen its digital offering for corporate and SME customers by simplifying the account-opening process and reducing the need for manual verification.
The integration of eKey 2.0 gives businesses a faster and more secure way to complete the required checks to verify their identity and submit the required information directly through the BBK Business platform, helping reduce processing time and enabling faster access to BBK’s corporate banking services.
Developed by the Information and eGovernment Authority, eKey 2.0 is the kingdom’s national digital identity platform. It allows users to authenticate their identity securely when accessing a wide range of public- and private-sector services online.
Commenting, BBK chief wholesale banking officer Nadeem Al Kooheji said: “The integration of eKey 2.0 into BBK Business gives corporate customers a more efficient and secure way to complete identity verification and other required formalities. It is designed to reduce manual steps, accelerate access to banking services, and maintain robust standards of data protection and identity assurance.”
Mr Al Kooheji added: “This enhancement also reflects BBK’s continued investment in Bahrain’s national digital infrastructure and our commitment to broadening the range of services available to the business community. As companies’ needs continue to evolve, we are developing BBK Business to deliver faster, more accessible banking solutions that save customers time, simplify day-to-day transactions, and support businesses at every stage of their growth.”
