OREANDA-NEWS. October 27, 2015. Now PrivatBank customers don’t need to carry dozens of plastic cards in their wallets. Mobile banking app Privat24 for Android OS has added a new feature - storing retailers’ discount cards.

During the first five days of the service more than 30 thousand discount cards were registered in the system. Now instead of carrying discount cards in a wallet, users can enjoy the convenience of digital service via their smartphones. Any number of discount cards with a barcode can be added to a user’s Privat24 wallet free of charge.

"People love discounts, but hate discount cards", says Oleksandr Vityaz, PrivatBank Deputy Chairman. "Besides digitizing discount cards, we are also enabling customers to share benefits with family members and friends!"

To add a discount card onto Privat24, you need to enter the menu "Discount cards", choose a company - service provider, and scan the QR-code or barcode of the card with a smartphone camera. As a result, it will be added to your personal cards list.

Barcodes of discount cards in Privat24 can be scanned easily on appropriate devices at store checkouts. If some stores are still using outdated technologies (laser or flatbed scanners), a discount number from a customer’s digitized discount card can be easily entered by hand at the checkout.

This tool to conveniently bring together discount cards in the Privat24 mobile app was created during just two weeks using the cloud operating system Corezoid as its base.

Mobile banking app Privat24 is the absolute leader among banking payment applications in Ukraine and post-Soviet countries - as of 1st October, 2015 there are more than 4.1 million installed smartphone users.
