In an increasingly digital financial world, resilience isn’t a nice-to-have — it’s a must. Cyberattacks, system failures, and IT disruptions can cause major damage, not just to financial institutions, but to the businesses that rely on them.
Enter the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) — a landmark EU regulation that is already reshaping the entire financial ecosystem, including Electronic Money Institutions like Wallter, and business clients like you.
What Is DORA?
The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is an EU-wide regulation designed to ensure that financial institutions can withstand, respond to, and recover from ICT-related disruptions, including cyber threats and technical failures.
It was adopted in 2023 and became fully enforceable on January 17, 2025. This isn’t something on the horizon. It’s here — and businesses must ensure their financial service partners are ready.
Who Does It Affect?
DORA applies to a wide range of entities, including:
-
Electronic Money Institutions (EMIs)
-
Banks and payment providers
-
Insurance companies
-
Crypto service providers
- ICT third-party providers (eg, cloud services).
If your business uses any of these services — and chances are, it does — DORA directly impacts the resilience of your financial operations.
