The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas is stepping up security standards—by June 25, 2026, all banks and financial institutions must implement phishing-resistant, passwordless authentication under the Anti-Financial Account Scamming Act.

To help local financial institutions meet this requirement, HID has rolled out a new suite of FIDO-certified solutions. Their Enterprise Passkey Management (EPM) platform allows organizations to provision, manage, and revoke secure credentials at scale—no more passwords, no more phishable OTPs, and no more fragmented systems.

This includes redesigned Crescendo Keys and Cards—hardware that combines physical access with digital authentication—and a contactless reader for seamless logins at workstations. It's a powerful leap toward safer, smarter, and modernized banking.

Curious how the Philippines is going passwordless—and what this means for your digital safety?
