Apple’s owners can again pay for purchases with the help of a phone. To do this, it is necessary to install an updated version of the Sberbank online application for iOS. The technology operates on the Bluetooth Low Energy and does not require a close introduction of the device to the terminal.
Payment is carried out through the new “owl” system, which is available on updated biometric terminals of Sberbank. To make a payment, you need to start the application, bring the phone to the terminal and confirm the operation. The technology operates even in the absence of the Internet on the device.
An important feature of the system is the possibility of payment from any bills, regardless of the type of bank card, the world, Visa and Mastercard are supported. All operations are protected by standard security protocols for the payment industry. Bonuses “Thank you” continue to be accrued for purchases.
Vzhukh technology is open for the implementation of other banks. Currently, it is tested by T-Bank and Alfa-Bank. After completing the tests, customers of these banks will be able to use more than 1.2 million Sberbank terminals throughout the country.
The update of the application also includes new sections: “House”, “Auto”, “Loans” and “For Life”. Users can configure the interface by changing the location of the sections or hiding unused services.
Sber recommends installing the application only through the bank’s official channels.
