OTP Bank Romania launches mobile payment service

OTP Bank Romania offers “Mobile Payments” services for individual customers, holders of Mastercard cards. Mobile Payments services allow payment with mobile phones or other compatible mobile terminals, which use Android or iOS operating systems, through two applications:

• OTPay – “e-Wallet” type application for mobile terminals with Android operating system (Samsung, Huawei, Nokia etc.);

Enrollment of Mastercard issued by OTP Bank Romania in the two applications is easily and intuitively confirmed with a simple SMS. In addition, the OTPay application allows the enrollment of a card by simply touching it from the mobile terminal, through the NFC technology, the card data being automatically downloaded in the mobile application.

In this regard, OTP Bank Romania offers modern payment alternatives to customers who prefer the technology instead of the traditional means of payment.” said Roxana Hidan, Deputy General Manager, Retail Division.

The actual payment with the mobile phone implies the proximity of the POS device, with the screen activated and the NFC communication enabled. The Mobile Payments service can be used at any POS that accepts contactless payment from home or abroad.

In order to have control of the transactions and the approved amounts, but also the balance situation, on each payment with Mobile Payments, the clients receive a notification on the phone, if they have this option activated from the device.
