KNET One-Time Password (OTP) Service

Introducing a new online security feature utilizing a two-factor authentication known as a One-Time Password (OTP).

KNET has added a new security layer for any online transaction made via its payment gateway.

The OTP method will feature the following:

  • Any online transaction using KNET’s payment gateway below KD 25 will only require PIN authentication

  • Any online transaction using KNET’s payment gateway equal or above KD 25 will require PIN authentication and an OTP which will be sent to your mobile number via SMS to your ABK-registered mobile number

  • The OTP is a 6-digit code for a single transaction which is valid for 4 minutes

  • In case the OTP expires, you will need to make a new payment transaction and authenticate it with a new OTP

  • The OTP is only for KNET’s online payment gateway and not for POS

  • Ensure to update your mobile number by visiting the nearest ABK branch

International numbers cannot be registered for OTP, only local Kuwait mobile providers.
