App offers a convenient way of controlling finances and additional services. We are ČSOB and we bring you the ČSOB SmartBanking application, which is the gateway to the smart world. You will find the solutions that we ourselves, as clients, expect from a bank – understandable, safe and comfortable. Our app offers a number of functions for comfortable and secure financial management – from payments, to the possibility of setting up an investment in it in a few clicks or applying for a loan. But you will also find what you would not expect from a bank in the ČSOB SmartBanking app. For example, you can set up insurance through it, buy a ticket for public transport or parking, or save all important information about your car. Yes, we know that this goes beyond the boundaries of banking as we know it. But we want your every day to be smart. Have you become our client or just changed your smartphone and want to activate our ČSOB SmartBanking app? It's easy and you can activate it in a few minutes: 1. Prepare your IPPID and PIN. These are the same as those you use to log in to MojaČSOB internet banking. 2. After entering them into the application, confirm activation via the ČSOB SmartToken app, which you also need. 3. When using the application in the future, only your PIN or biometrics will be sufficient. You can change your PIN at any time in the app or via MojaČSOB internetbanking. 4. You can customize the application and its parameters as you need in the Settings section. Are you interested in our application and are not yet a ČSOB client? Download it and try out its functions in the public section, which is also available without logging in. If you have any questions, this SmartBanking - ČSOB subpage can help you with the answers, and our colleagues are also available at +421259668844 or info@csob.sk. ©2011 ČSOB Slovensko
