Key projects and innovations of mBank Group in 2018

In 2018, we became a banking partner of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity Foundation (WOŚP) – a non-governmental organization having the greatest social trust in Poland. We processed financial transactions of WOŚP both during the 26th Finale of the Orchestra on January 14, 2018 and throughout the whole year. We not only encouraged our clients to support the initiative, but also decided to donate PLN 7 million to WOŚP.

For more information about our strategic co-operation with the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity, see WOŚP – we play together!

 

In 2018, mBank set up mElements, a company specialising in innovative banking application programming interface (API) solutions. mElements maintains mBank’s API platform created as a result of the EU PSD2 and uses the established know-how to expand mBank Group’s offer.

The company has successfully launched a unique credit API which allows mBank to incorporate its credit processes for both retail clients and SMEs into e-commerce platforms. The solution has been used in practice by Allegro and DotPay, which enabled micro-enterprises operating on the internet to apply for a credit limit and have their credit applications processed in an online process using, among other data, information on their e-commerce sales. The process is fast and simple, the clients can apply online in the used service.

mBank will further develop and enhance e-commerce processes to offer both buyers and sellers a more convenient experience while ensuring the highest level of security and providing them with comprehensive technical support.

mAccelerator has been the first investment fund in Central and Eastern Europe supporting the development and commercialization of new technologies. It was equipped with a budget of EUR 50 million (an equivalent of over PLN 200 million). The fund invests in start-ups which later should become partners for financial institutions from around the world. It focuses on cybersecurity, biometrics, robotic process automation (RPA), artificial intelligence and digital marketing (in particular chatbots and communicators).

With Bot4Business and SaveCart added in 2018, the fund’s portfolio is now composed of four companies:

  • Centrum Bezpieczeństwa Cyfrowego – a provider of cybersecurity solutions based on passive biometrics and 24/7 customer support in the area of online security;
  • Digital Teammates – a company specialising in RPA;
  • Bot4Business (B4B) – an AI-powered messaging platform;
  • SaveCart – a developer of personalised offers from online shops.

B4B has been developing a platform for communication with clients via messaging apps (such as Messenger and Viber). The platform is supported by artificial intelligence and suggests consultants how to answer clients’ questions. B4B provides the service to an entity from the cybersecurity industry and is in the process of acquiring another client.

SaveCart has created a client activity monitoring tool that examines client preferences and builds behavioural profiles. It uses the data to send clients real time ads, messages and shopping recommendations.

In December 2018, mBank launched a behavioural user verification pilot programme in cooperation with Centrum Bezpieczeństwa Cyfrowego. It analyses a user’s interactions with the computer or mobile device, i.e. mouse and keystroke dynamics. After the trial phase the service will be made available to all clients and will constitute an additional security element. The bank will check the identity of the user who logged into the system and will be able to immediately respond to security threats.

We started to refresh our online banking for individuals and SMEs (excluding the mBank CompanyNet platform for corporate clients) in 2018. The upgraded online banking will be easy to use and more flexible. We want to make it easier for users to adjust the service to their needs. Thanks to this, users will be able to better adapt it to their needs.

We have been improving the design and rolling out new features gradually to give our clients time to learn them. All changes in the design and features have been developed in consultation with our clients.

Our clients supported us in changing the looks and features of the service. We spent more than a year collecting their opinions and asking them about which online banking features were important to them, how they rated the existing service and how they would like to use it in the future. We also added a “Rate us” button in the online banking enabling clients to leave comments in sections which were important to them.

In August 2018, we implemented the “Qlips” service making it easier to pay bills directly in electronic banking. Clients can select providers for whom payments will be generated automatically in the transactional system. Unlike the conventional direct debit, the service enables clients to verify data before accepting a payment. The Qlips service is used both by paying bills and their issuers – service companies can use a convenient and easy to use channel of communication with their customers.
