Iccrea Launches New Mobile App
Vipera (AIM:VIP), the specialist provider of mobile financial services, is pleased to announce that its customer Iccrea Banking Group ("Iccrea Group"), has launched a new mobile application, managed and deployed in collaboration with KPMG.
The new application, MyCartaBCC for Iccrea Group's credit card CartaBCC, managed by ICCREA BANCA will now provide its customers with a range of functions and services accessible on their smartphone, ensuring an enhanced and more secure customer experience.
Additional features include real time alerts on card transactions, the ability to control where and how their card is used - including a temporary card lock security feature - and enrollment in a new loyalty program, PremiaTi, which will provide the bank's customers with a range of targeted and exclusive retail offers.
