The Central Bank of Kuwait has announced a new security measure for electronic payments by introducing an additional step when using payment links. This enhancement is designed to offer users an extra layer of security, providing a second opportunity to review and verify the payment details before finalizing the transaction.

When opening a payment link, users will now be shown crucial details such as the recipient’s name, transaction amount, and the purpose of the payment. The user must approve this information before proceeding to the payment page.

The Central Bank has urged all users to carefully review the displayed details to ensure accuracy and prevent any fraudulent transactions.
