Millennium Bank clients can access Internet Banking using Chrome, Safari and Opera

Millennium Bank clients can now access the Internet Banking service using Google Chrome, Safari and Opera internet browsers. With the launch of the new design for the bank's website www.millenniumbank.ro, which is friendlier and allows easier navigation, clients also benefit from these improvements of the Internet Banking accessibility. Up to now, the service could be accessed using Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.

"The usage of Google Chrome has been constantly increasing, according to statistics, and it recently became the most used internet browser in Romania. Millennium Bank is always trying to adapt quickly to our clients' changing needs and we are glad to be able to announce this improvement of the Internet Banking service”, Florentina Mihai, Head of Alternative Channels with Millennium Bank, stated.

Approximately 70% of Millennium Bank's individual clients have also contracted the Internet Banking service. Almost 80% of the transactions performed by the bank's individual clients in September 2012 were made through the Internet Banking service, and their volume amounted to RON 53 million.

Millennium Bank's Internet Banking service allows customers to administrate all the products they have contracted from the bank. It provides access to all the accounts, deposits, cards or loans and the clients can perform any operation - pay bills and loans instalments, create deposits, predefine beneficiaries' payment details for future transfers, modify the card PIN and the ATM and POS transaction limits etc. The transactions are authorized by SMS, providing a high level of security. After having filled in the transfer details within the Internet Banking application, clients receive an SMS on their mobile phone confirming the amount to be transferred and containing a seven digit arbitrarily generated authorization code. The service is free of charge and the fees for the transactions operated through Internet Banking are 50% lower than those performed in the branches.

The bank also offers SmartPhone Banking service, available for free for Apple mobile devices and Android operating system devices. Launched a year ago, "MillenniumRO” application can be downloaded from AppStore or Android Market and allows clients to view current and savings accounts, term deposits, loans and credit cards and perform transactions directly on their mobile phones.
