The National Bank of Kuwait (NBK) has announced the launch of a new service that enables customers to confirm their payment transactions online via the NBK Mobile Banking app. In a bid to further its commitment to offering secure and optimised products and services, NBK introduces a payment verification solution that delivers a quick and safe method to conduct online payments.

With the NBK Secure Shopping service, customers are set to be able to confirm all online transactions directly via the banking app without being required to enter an OTP. At the time of the announcement, the service was available to holders of NBK Debit Cards, only for international spends, NBK Foreign Currency Prepaid Card, and NBK Multi-Currency Prepaid Card. In order to benefit from it, the bank mentioned that customers need to enable NBK Push Notifications.

Afterwards, users can initiate purchases via the NBK Mobile Banking app, with them receiving a push notification to click on to be redirected to the app to confirm the payment. However, if the Push Notification service is not enabled, customers need to enter the app and follow the provided steps to confirm the transaction.
