RMiT 2025 Tightens Strong Authentication Requirements in Malaysia and Savyint’s Compliance Solutions for Financial Institutions
In November 2025, Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) officially issued an updated version of its Risk Management in Technology (RMiT) policy, introducing stricter requirements for enhanced identity verification, device binding, and fraud prevention across Malaysia’s financial sector. 1. About BNM’s RMiT Policy Risk Management in Technology (RMiT) is Bank Negara Malaysia’s central policy framework for managing technology risk and cybersecurity risk in the financial sector. The policy sets out minimum requirements for financial institutions to strengthen governance, cybersecurity, technology operations, digital services, third-party risk management, cloud adoption, fraud detection, and customer protection. Its objective is to ensure that financial institutions can maintain secure, stable, and trusted digital services amid increasingly complex cyber threats. RMiT applies to all financial institutions regulated by BNM, ranging from banks to insurers and reinsurers, electronic money issuers, payment system operators, financial institutions, and money transfer intermediaries. 2. The November 2025 RMiT Update The RMiT policy issued in June 2023 introduced several authentication-related requirements, including multi-factor authentication, access management, and digital service controls. However, these requirements remained largely guidance-based rather than mandatory standards. In November 2025, the updated RMiT policy was issued, marking a significant turning point in strong authentication by introducing clearer mandatory requirements on how organizations must authenticate users and protect digital services. Below are the key changes. a. One Device per User by Default One of the most important changes is the default requirement to use only one device, aimed at preventing SIM-swap fraud and account takeover. Financial institutions must ensure secure device binding and unbinding processes, while limiting digital service transaction authentication by default to one mobile device per account holder. Users may register additional devices, but they must actively request this and accept the associated risks. Financial institutions are not allowed to make multiple devices the default option. The process must include: b. Stronger Verification for Mobile Number Changes Previously, many banking applications allowed users to update their mobile phone numbers by confirming an OTP sent to the existing number. However, this approach is no longer considered secure if the number has already been compromised or affected by SIM swapping. Therefore, under the latest RMiT update, organizations are required to adopt stronger authentication mechanisms, such as: c. Cooling-Off Periods and Transaction Limits for Newly Registered Devices RMiT requires appropriate verification and cooling-off periods in the following cases: Accordingly, newly registered devices should not be granted full transaction privileges immediately. Organizations need to establish time-based limits and transaction frequency controls. Transaction rights should be gradually expanded as the device and user behavior build a trusted history. Combined with fraud detection standards that require behavioral analytics and real-time risk scoring, RMiT requires the authentication layer to understand context, not merely verify login credentials. d. Multi-Factor Authentication and Passwordless Authentication to Reduce Dependence on SMS OTP The most important change in the RMiT update is the requirement to use MFA and passwordless authentication methods. MFA must be resistant to interception or manipulation by third parties throughout the authentication process. Examples of passwordless authentication methods include biometric authentication, device binding, cryptographic key-based authentication, and risk-based step-up authentication. In addition, “transaction linking” requires the authentication code to be bound to specific transaction details, including the recipient and transaction amount, rather than being linked only to the login session. 3.

PIONEERING THE NEXT GENERATION OF SECURITY: QUANTUM AND AI HORIZON
On March 26, Savyint welcomed a student delegation from the University of San Agustin, Philippines. During the visit, the students got a first-hand look at leading technology trends such as Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), the Digital Trust platform, AI in fraud prevention, and especially Agentic AI – fields that are shaping the future of global digital security and transformation. 1. Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) – Ready for the New Era As quantum computing gets closer to a breakthrough, traditional encryption methods are at risk of being broken. PQC (Quantum-Resistant Cryptography) has emerged as a vital solution, designed to protect data infrastructure against the massive computing power of this new era. Savyint is a pioneer in integrating advanced PQC standards (like ML-KEM and ML-DSA) into its core systems to secure devices. Furthermore, Savyint has established the Quantum AI Lab – a leading lab in Vietnam for researching and testing these quantum-resistant algorithms. Here, they simulate real-world attacks from “AI hackers” to test how strong their security layers really are. 2. AI Fraud & Digital Trust – Protecting Finance in the AI Age Beyond the pressure from quantum computers, threats like Deepfakes and automated malware are making financial security more urgent than ever. Savyint shared an overview of the 2025 threat landscape, where fraud not only causes financial loss but also creates legal risks for organizations. To fight this, Savyint introduced its Digital Trust platform. This platform uses AI to analyze user behavior, detect unusual activity, and make decisions in real-time. The system is built on four pillars: device security, advanced authentication, AI-based fraud detection, and risk management. 3. Agentic AI – Toward Self-Operating Security Systems Savyint also introduced Agentic AI – AI systems capable of making decisions and taking action on their own, rather than just creating content or analyzing data. In fraud prevention, Agentic AI is used to simulate complex attack scenarios to “train” defense systems, helping them react and adapt faster over time. Additionally, these AI agents can: This approach marks a shift from “reactive” systems to “autonomous” (self-operating) systems, where AI acts as an active partner in the security ecosystem. The visit gave the University of San Agustin students a practical look at how cutting-edge tech is used in real businesses. It was more than just a learning experience; it was inspiration for the younger generation to join the journey of global innovation. See more photos from the event below:
Consent Management in Open Banking
Open Banking is a new financial ecosystem that allows users to securely share their personal financial data with third-party providers, such as fintech companies or other financial institutions. By sharing this data, these organizations can provide personalized financial services to users. So, how is Open Banking data processed, and for what purposes is it used? Open Banking: Consent Management To provide and develop high-quality products and services, Third-Party Providers (TPPs) require user consent to access their financial data. From there, they filter and process this data for research purposes and to build new financial products and services. Consent management is a sensitive matter that requires caution and expertise in both legal and technical aspects. Contrary to popular belief, consent management is not just a simple click or checking an “I Agree” box; it is a structured process implemented in compliance with regional and national regulations and directives, such as PSD2/PSD3 or GDPR in the EU. The consent management process in banking typically unfolds as follows: While different organizations may present data access agreements differently, this is the most common mechanism, often used in: Understanding how data and information flow during the consent request process is a decisive factor for transparency and the success of organizations in Open Banking. The Process of Managing Consent for Open Banking Data Sharing The consent management process is generally divided into three stages: a. Consent Stage b. Authentication Stage c. Authorization Stage Throughout every process, users always know who they are granting access to, for how long, and for what purpose. Most importantly, users can revoke consent at any time. The information available to users typically includes: Open Banking Data Sharing: How Does It Work? Open Banking allows third-party financial service providers to access information with user permission. Technically, this process is facilitated via Open APIs. Legally, the data-sharing process is overseen and governed by existing government regulations, such as the Payment Services Directive (PSD2) in the EU or the Open Banking Act in the UK. However, as these regulations vary by region, the types of data shared through open banking services also differ. Typically, to ensure transparency and integrity, there are multiple layers of security and verification during the data exchange between financial institutions and TPPs. Data transmission is executed in a “heartbeat” thanks to APIs, ensuring a seamless, secure, and efficient experience. Who Can Access Open Banking Data? Not everyone can access data in Open Banking. To view this data, user consent is mandatory, and the TPP must be licensed. TPPs must also meet specific requirements before being authorized to access a user’s financial information. Dedicated competent authorities are responsible for licensing TPPs to access user data. For example, in Australia, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) is responsible for Open Banking data licensing. These agencies ensure that personal financial data sharing does not violate the law while having the power to grant, modify, or revoke data collection licenses. What Data is Collected in Open Banking? The data collected by open banking service providers may vary depending on the regulations of each country/region and the type of service provided. Regulators often set strict rules on the type of information that can be collected, limiting the scope to ensure TPPs only access what is strictly necessary. The most commonly collected data includes: How Does Open Banking Protect User Data? Protecting data in Open Banking is a top priority for regulators and financial institutions. Security measures applied include: However, alongside these protections, certain risks remain of concern to developers and users: In summary, while risks cannot be entirely eliminated, current security measures are established to ensure user data is protected within the open banking system. Nevertheless, users should also protect themselves by using strong passwords, updating software regularly, and staying vigilant against phishing attacks. Furthermore, empowering users to manage their open banking data is an excellent way for them to take responsibility for when and how they wish to provide their information. TPPs must clearly communicate the purpose and the data to be collected to ensure transparency and Open Banking data privacy.
