BOC launches new mobile banking app

The Bank of Ceylon has launched a new mobile banking solution to resolve day-to-day banking needs with a touch of a button and help you give more space in life for your loved ones. 

‘B-App’ allows the bank’s customers to enjoy banking at their fingertips with an advanced and highly secured IT platform. It can be easily downloaded to any iOS or Android enabled mobile device through Google-Play or the Apple App Store. Thereafter, the customer simply has to submit the ‘B-App’ application form to the nearest BOC branch and activate the account immediately. 

By getting aboard with this application, the customer can obtain a secured mobile baking service that allows the customer to manage daily transactions easily and instantly. These routine transactions include transfer of funds to any account (own accounts, third party BOC accounts or other bank accounts), account inquiries, instant, scheduled and recurring utility bill payments. 

Managing and monitoring your assets and liabilities are also made easy with the mobile screen friendly interface. Customers can set up standing orders, make cheque book requests and view statement downloads without having to visit the branch. In case of an emergency, customers themselves can issue ‘Stop payment’ to cheques issued on current accounts immediately. 

Since ‘B-App’ has a secured one-time password and self-unlock user ID that allows the user to self-unlock to save time and enhance productivity.  The customers can also add third party accounts and new billers as required without having to refer to the administrator. These gives control over banking and empowers the application end-user; the customer.  

BOC believes in delivering genuine value-added services to its customers and it understands that it has a prime duty towards the country’s economic sustainability. Therefore, the bank realises that by providing these technologically aided banking services that adds convenience to the evolving lifestyle of Sri Lankans, it not only enables millions of BOC account holders to carryout banking transactions efficiently but also promotes this technology to every corner of the country.  

“With this technology we can penetrate further into the community and work towards a financially inclusive society. We empower our customers to manage their finances efficiently and to reach their goals smoothly. Having a portal that enables the customer to interact with the bank by following simple instructions is a key feature in this application. So anyone with minimal knowledge of operating a smartphone can manage to get the maximum use from it,” stated Deputy General Manager Product and Banking Development M.J.P. Salgado.
