Raiffeisen Banka Introduced Simple Payment by Mobile Phone with the “PlatiMo” Service

Nov. 15, 2010

Raiffeisen banka continues the practice of offering to its clients service that follows state-of-the-art technology advances, in cooperation with Telenor as the main provider of the “PlatiMo” service. This is a revolutionary electronic payment system that will enable its users to replace their wallet with their mobile phone in a simple and very secure manner!

Using the “PlatiMo” service is very easy! Raiffeisen banka’s client, who is also a user of the Telenor network, substitutes his SIM card with a new card free of charge. This SIM card substitution does not require the client to change his phone number. It enables the issuing of a qualified digital certificate, the usage of which provides maximum commercial security in the “PlatiMo” system. 

In the nearest branch of Raiffeisen banka, the user connects the number of his mobile phone with his dinar current account. After this is completed, the user has the possibility of effecting various payments enabled by the “PlatiMo” system, by simple verification of SMS in just three steps.

This way, Raiffeisen banka wishes to enable its clients to effect payments of their Telenor post-paid bill, as well as other monthly bills, top up their prepaid accounts in the Telenor network, transfer money from their current account to the account of another client who also has this service activated, all this just by using their mobile phone, or to make purchases at points of sale, internet shops and teleshops that support this mode of payment.

The benefits obtained by “PlatiMo” service users this way are many, because they will not need to queue at points of sale and they will be able to effect payments for goods and services in a most comfortable manner, directly at the point of sale or “by remote”.

All clients of Raiffeisen banka who activate the ”PlatiMo” service in the period of Nov. 1, 2010 – April 1, 2011, will activate it for free and will also be able to make use of all the other benefits in the promotional period.
