Manama, October 28, 2025 — Batelco by Beyon has become the first telecom operator in Bahrain to integrate the national eKey 2.0 system directly into its mobile app, allowing citizens and residents to subscribe to new mobile lines with greater speed, security, and convenience.
Through this new integration, users can now authenticate their identity biometrically via eKey 2.0, eliminating the need to manually scan ID cards during the subscription process. The upgrade delivers a faster and frictionless digital journey, reinforcing Batelco’s commitment to innovation and Bahrain’s broader eGovernment and digital transformation goals.

The integration of eKey 2.0 transforms the mobile line subscription process—offering both simplicity and trust while supporting Bahrain’s national digital agenda.”
The eKey 2.0 initiative is a cornerstone of Bahrain’s national digital transformation strategy, enabling secure digital identity verification across government and private sector platforms. It provides a trusted authentication layer that simplifies user access, reduces verification friction, and strengthens compliance with national data and security standards.
This milestone further underscores Batelco by Beyon’s leadership in driving Bahrain’s digital innovation, setting new benchmarks for customer-centric and secure telecom services in the Kingdom.
