Customers of Bank Millennium can now register pre-paid SIM cards in the online banking system

Bank Millennium has just now implemented the service of registering pre-paid SIM cards. Thus the Bank’s customers who have a pre-paid phone can make mandatory registration without the need to visit the operator’s outlet – completely online and free of charge. Bank Millennium is first bank in Poland to offer this service.

– Seeking convenient solutions for customers not only in the area of financial services, we have now provided them with a very simple way to make mandatory registration of SIM cards in the Millenet internet banking system. Our system allows the user’s identity to be checked in a secure way; hence the card may be registered completely online, without the need to visit the mobile operator’s point of sale. With our help the customer will register the pre-paid phone free of charge, not losing eligibility for promotions offered by the mobile operators – Ricardo Campos, Director of the Electronic Banking Department in Bank Millennium said.

The service is available to all customers with active access to the internet banking system, who have opened an account in a Millennium branch or having opened the account online, confirmed their identity in a branch.

The registration process is extremely easy and fast. Just two fields must be filled-in: phone number and number of SIM card (the system explains how to find it). Based on the phone number the system will automatically select the operator from the six available ones: T-Mobile, Orange, Plus, PLAY, Heyah and nju mobile. The operator may also be selected manually. Such data as name, surname and PESEL number will be filled-in automatically. It is only necessary to agree to send them to the selected operator and to the service provider. The registration process has additional security provided by using an SMS password to approve the operation.

The Bank has contracted Blue Media S.A. to provide the service in technical terms. In keeping with current regulations a pre-paid SIM card cannot be anonymous and to use a phone with such a card it must be registered with the mobile network operator. The deadline for registration of currently used cards is 31 January 2017.

Starting today third-party-only and comprehensive motor insurance available in Bank Millennium completely online–in the mobile app and in the transactional banking system.

Thanks to the innovative solution customers of Bank Millennium can now buy motor insurance in the mobile app and in the Millenet transactional system. The purchase process is fully bespoke. Bank Millennium is the first bank on the market to use scanning of the Aztec graphic code from the vehicle’s registration papers. Purchasing the insurance is intuitive and fast.

The solution allows customers of Bank Millennium to purchase third-party-only and comprehensive motor insurance as well as roadside assistance, personal injury and window glass insurance completely online. The insurance can be bought in the mobile app, Millenet online banking system or by using both channels at the same time, with seamless migration between them. After scanning the code from the registration papers (using the mobile app) the vehicle data will be uploaded automatically and – this is unique on the market – will appear both in the mobile app as well as in Millenet. The customer’s personal data will also be filled-in automatically, so it is sufficient to answer a few short questions to complete the insurance purchase process.In each stage the customer can save the application and continue the process on any device.

Bank Millennium’s first partner in the new project is ERGO Hestia Group with mtu24.pl, You Can Drive and ERGO Hestia brands. These are simple insurance products, which do not require personalised advice. Apart from simplifying the process of buying motor insurance by means of using an Aztec code scan, the bank’s customers can pay the insurance premium in 12 monthly instalments without additional charges, which allows them to buy broader insurance cover. This option is available irrespective of the premium amount and the monthly payments will be collected automatically from the customer’s account. This is a response to the changes of insurance prices on the market – by splitting the premium into monthly payments it will be less of a burden for customers. At the same time this offers customers the opportunity e.g. to choose broader insurance cover than in case of a premium paid all at once. When selecting a single premium payment the customer can choose the current account or credit card to pay it.
In the new process customers can buy various types of motor insurance, depending on their needs. It can be standard third-party-only, as well as various types of extended insurance, different in terms of i.a. types of events covered, method of loss adjustment or geographic coverage. The offering includes the market-unique AC mini, which provides cover for partial and complete losses caused by fire and theft. Additionally customers can also extend the policy to include popular roadside assistance insurance(with coverage in Poland or Europe, depending on the option selected), personal injury or window glass insurance, which also protects comprehensive insurance no-claims bonus in case of window glass breakage.
