BSN Phasing Out SMS OTP Next Month; E-Commerce Transactions To Use BSNSecure

Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN) will phase out SMS one-time password (OTP) authentication by December 2026 in favor of the BSNSecure platform. This transition aims to enhance security and protect customers from financial fraud. Beginning December 15, 2026, all online transactions, including e-commerce purchases, will require BSNSecure for verification.

Customers are encouraged to download the BSN eWallet to facilitate e-commerce transactions using BSNSecure. The BSN eWallet is a digital wallet for BSN Cardmembers, allowing them to manage bank cards, access rewards, and promotions. It functions independently from myBSN, which is used for everyday banking services like checking balances and making transfers.

Despite serving different purposes, both platforms offer BSNSecure for added security. Users can access both apps using the same login credentials. To begin using the BSN eWallet, download it from the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or Huawei AppGallery.

  • Latency alert rewritten to sum histogram buckets first
  • Prometheus rule lacked le label, causing buckets loss
  • Added sum by (service, le) to ensure alert firing

The lowest estimate always wins. Then comes the real bill

Occasionally a customer sends me two quotes for the same palletizing island and asks me: "In your opinion, why does one cost 30% less?". The honest answer is that you can't tell much from the price.

  • Cheapest quote reveals little about total project cost
  • Exclusions in quotes can double costs at commissioning
  • Total cost of ownership determines ROI, not nominal speed
