Access to e-administration in Bank Millennium

Customers of Bank Millennium can already get access by means of internet banking to the ZUS Electronic Services Platform. This is another step of the bank to support the strategy of building digital public administration.

– We continue to seek innovative solutions, which will respond to customers’ needs. One of them is to facilitate access to e-administration. Thanks to the functionality extension the internet banking system thus becomes a window to the digital world of Polish administration. We began by participating in the Government’s Family 500+ programme and enabled customers to apply via Millenet for the benefit. Customers were eager to use to this opportunity and submitted some 50,000 applications. This gives us not only great satisfaction that we provided them with a sense of comfort and security, but also evidence that such efforts are needed and expected – Ricardo Campos, Director of the Electronic Banking Department in Bank Millennium said.

Thanks to using Bank Millennium’s internet banking system setting up a profile on PUE ZUS (ZUS Electronic Services Platform) and logging on to it is simple and intuitive. The Customer will log on to the Millenet internet banking system using the standard login and password. No additional rights are needed, logins or passwords. When setting up a PUE profile – after accepting the statement about protection of personal data and approving the logon with use of SMS P@ssword (both activities are required only at the first logon to PUE), the customer goes to the PUE ZUS portal, where he accepts the PUE regulations and provides additional essential data for the profile. When logging on the next time the customer will not have to repeat the additional activities anymore – using the login and password for electronic banking will be enough.

In the traditional model, if the customer does not have a qualified certificate, does not use ePUAP or electronic banking systems, in order to set up a full trusted profile in PUE ZUS a visit is necessary in a ZUS branch, during which they will confirm the personal data of the new user. Identity check by means of the Millenet internet banking system replaces a visit in ZUS, thus it is faster and more convenient.

The Electronic Services Platform (PUE) is targeted at all customers of ZUS. It enables dealing with many matters involved with social insurance without the need to leave home, such as viewing data about contributions, sending documents and applications and receiving replies from ZUS, checking which OFE the customer belongs to, checking if the employer reported the customer for social and health insurance. PUE can also be used to ask ZUS staff questions or to use other functions available currently from ZUS.

Among other things, we have improved our automated sales process with credit decision available within a few seconds. It fulfilled the needs of small and medium-sized companies for which the speed and simplicity of lease decision is of paramount importance. At the same time we did not reduce the dynamics of our cooperation with big companies which appreciate long-term relationship or use  leasing as part of the broader range of the financial services offered by the Millennium Group. Good results confirm our conviction that we have selected the right development direction. – says Marcin Balicki, Chairman of the Management Board of Millennium Leasing.

The company recorded a unique, almost  24% increase year on year in real estate financing. After three quarters of 2016, the total value of the financed assets from  the means-of-road-transport group was more than 1,45 billion PLN, which is almost 30% increase. In the category of heavy transport the value of financed assets went up by  22% versus the same period of 2015 and totalled 858 million PLN. In this category the fastest growing items were trucks above 3,5t (almost 46% increase), buses (30,4%) and semi-tractors (up 19,4 %). After three quarters, the value of the financed light vehicles reached more than 600 million PLN (more than 40% increase).

Also in the machinery and equipment segment which reflects the demand for investments in the Polish economy, the value of the transactions financed by Millennium Leasing exceeded 780 million PLN, i.e. it has increased by almost one  fourth versus the same period of 2015.
