Millennium Bank’s individual clients who perform Internet Banking transactions authorized by SMS can win a laptop or a smartphone. The transactions made between November 1st and December 31st, 2010, using the SMS authorization method, will enter the drawing lots in January 2011 when the winners of the prizes will be designated.

By this contest, the bank is promoting the new SMS authorization method for Internet Banking transactions. Implemented in 2010, the SMS authorization method provides a higher security level for all online inter-banking transactions. After having filled in the transfer details within the Internet Banking application, clients receive an SMS on their mobile phone confirming them the exact amount to be transacted and containing the seven digits arbitrarily generated authorization code.

The transaction can be completed only by filling this unique code – generated and available to authorise one particular transaction only – in the Internet Banking application.
Approximately 50% of Millennium Bank’s individual clients have also contracted the Internet Banking service. Almost 90% of the transactions performed by the bank’s individual clients in September 2010 were made through the Internet Banking service, and their volume amounted RON 140 million.

Millennium Bank’s Internet Banking service is fully available 24/7 for both individuals and companies. It provides access to all the accounts, deposits, cards or loans and the clients can perform any kind of transaction – pay bills and loans instalments, create deposits etc. The fees for Internet Banking transactions are up to 50% lower than for those performed in the branches.
