OREANDA-NEWS. October 21, 2009. A member of Lithuania’s Electronic signature breakthrough program (E3P) AB DnB NORD Bankas upgraded its Internet Banking system so that customers could log in and sign payments, agreements and other important documents using mobile e-signature. Initially the users of Omnitel’s mobile services will be able to use e-signature to confirm their identity on DnB NORD internet banking, reported the press-centre of DnB NORD Bankas.

E-signature is a modern, safe and user-friendly way of self identification that replaces PIN / TAN code cards and password generators. The customers who want to use this service have to change their current Omnitel’s mobile phone SIM card to a new one that has functions needed for mobile e-signature and activate mobile e-signature service. Technical changes implemented in DnB NORD e- banking system allow connecting other e-signature providers with expedition.
“It is very important to us that DnB NORD e-banking system would meet modern private and corporate customers’ needs as we see that our clients effect nine out of 10 payment orders using electronic banking. We intend to continue developing functionality, mobility and quality of our e-baking services so that increasingly more customers choose DnB NORD as their home bank.” says Evaldas Ruzgys, the manager of Product development department of AB DnB NORD Bankas.

In October Metasite Business Solutions, a company that has been researching E-Banking Systems in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia for the last seven years, announced that AB DnB NORD Bankas demonstrated the biggest qualitative leap in electronic banking in 2009, jumping from 6th to 1st place in the rankings of Lithuania’s E-banking service providers.
SIM cards are currently replaced at all Omnitel outlets free of charge after the customer presents his identification document and his bank’s chip payment card.
