<h1>RBI Introduces 'bank.in' Domain for Banks and AFA for International Transactions to Boost Digital Security by 2025.</h1> The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) announced that Indian banks will use the exclusive internet domain 'bank.in', while non-bank financial entities will use 'fin.in', starting April 2025. This move aims to enhance cybersecurity and trust in digital banking by reducing fraud and phishing threats. The Institute for Development and Research in Banking Technology (IDRBT) will manage domain registrations. Additionally, the RBI plans to implement Additional Factor of Authentication (AFA) for international 'Card Not Present' transactions to improve security, following its success in domestic digital payments. A draft circular for stakeholder feedback will be released soon.
