Citi Handlowy Implements Mobile Banking
Citi Handlowy introduced a new mobile version of its online banking
system Citibank Online. This is the first phase of Citi Handlowy’s mobile banking
development project. Later this year, Citi Handlowy will offer another mobile
solution based on ideas and suggestions mobile service users submit via www.mojamobilnabankowosc.pl.
On May 6,
2010, Citi Handlowy introduced the Citi Mobile service, adapting its Internet
transaction system for mobile phones browsers. The transparency of information and
intuitive access to key functions make the Citi Mobile service stand out from other
solutions on the market. Thanks to Citi Mobile implementation, Citi Handlowy clients can
manage their accounts and Citibank Credit Card without any limitations, at any time and
from any place. The only thing they need is a mobile phone with an Internet browser and
Internet access.
Citi Mobile is available for all Internet banking clients of
Citi Handlowy. For clients' convenience, the Bank has preserved its previous log-in
process. Clients use the same log-in and password they use for the Citibank Online
system. The actions performed on Citi Mobile are secured through encrypted connections
with SSL protocol.
Citi Handlowy launched the website MojaMobilnaBankowosc.pl March 24, 2009. It is a special
service for mobile banking enthusiasts.
The website www.mojamobilnabankowosc.pl provides information on the use
of mobile phones for making bank transfers, authorizing payments and investing funds
from the bank account, MojaMobilnaBankowosc.pl is not just a source of knowledge
and ideas.
For mobile solutions enthusiasts Citi Handlowy also launched a contest
for the best functionality idea through which a phone could become a comprehensive
center of financial services. Out of 500 ideas entered in the contest, a jury will
select 25 most interesting proposals. Submitters of the three best ideas will be awarded
with prizes, i.e., smartphones. The submitters of the other 22 outstanding ideas will be
awarded with pre-paid cards of PLN 500. The results of the contest, which ended on 5 May
2009, will be announced soon.
Before May 5, 2010, Citi Handlowy did not reveal
its role on the website MojaMobilnaBankowosc.pl. The Bank did not want to limit the
creativity of mobile banking enthusiasts through associations with a specific brand.
Currently, the website MojaMobilnaBankowosc.pl is also available at Citimobile.pl. This website
provides information related not only to broadly defined issue of mobile banking. The
users can also watch instructional films that show how to use Citi Mobile. They can also
submit their opinions about the service and make suggestions to the Bank about how to
refine its mobile solutions.
Detailed information about Citi Mobile and history
of the project "My mobile banking" are available on the website: www.citimobile.pl.
