OREANDA-NEWS. PrivatBank started posting QR-codes on the shingles of its offices. From now the black square, symbolizing the “point of support” in the PrivatBank’s logo, will be replaced by the QR-code. These QR-logos have already been placed on signboards of the bank’s outlets in Kyiv, Donetsk, Kharkiv and Odessa, and hereafter they might be used for the other outlets.

"It’s a kind of our declaration to the world: we actually believe in the QR-technology," - says Dmitry Dubilet, PrivatBank Marketing Director. - "Our bank was the first in the world to let customers log in the Internet banking system, make withdrawals from ATMs and payments when shopping (including Internet shopping) using QR-code".

It should be reminded that the revolutionary technology of contactless bank payments was introduced by the bank in October 2012. It allows both retailers and banks not only to implement contactless payments right away using the available trading equipment, but also to reduce expenses and risks in accepting payments.
