On December 17, 2024, Otbasy Bank will transition to its updated mobile application "Otbasy Bank". Until that date, the service has been operating in a testing mode under the temporary name "Otbasy Bank Lite," as reported by a correspondent from the Kapital.kz business information center, referencing the bank's press service.
On December 17, 2024, customers of the bank who previously downloaded the "Otbasy Bank Lite" app will need to update it. A relevant prompt will appear in the application.
The new version of the Otbasy Bank mobile application has been developed using advanced Flutter technology, significantly enhancing the speed and user-friendliness of the app. The Flutter platform is recognized as one of the fastest and most convenient technologies for developing cross-platform applications. Additionally, Flutter ensures a high level of security and quality for digital services, enabling quick resolution of issues and faster release of updates.
The updated "Otbasy Bank" application has become "lighter" and will now take up less space on mobile devices. The biometric function has also been upgraded, achieving success in 99% of cases. Improvements have been made to the liveliness check: a technology that distinguishes a live person from a mask or deepfake. This is a critically important element for enhancing the security of biometric systems and preventing attacks using fake data.
The new mobile application "Otbasy Bank" can be downloaded from the App Store and Google Play Store.
During initial registration and password changes in the mobile application, it is mandatory to undergo biometric verification. If a client has not previously had an account in the bank's app, they must first register, complete the biometric verification, create a password, and only then log into the application.
