Furthermore, the new regulations specify that the footage from ATM security cameras will be stored for a minimum of two years for security purposes.
Additionaly, the new regulation mandates that banks can no longer open accounts without verifying the national ID card through its digital chip.Previously, opening a bank account only required a photocopy of the individual’s identification card.

The smart card’s embedded chip, which houses biometric data and personal information, ensures enhanced security and functionality.
