STANBIC Bank has begun using Internet banking in all its branches, a move aiming at humanizing it service rescue.

Stanbic Bank Managing Director Philip Odera said the new scheme is a step the bank has taken to bring world-class banking services to Uganda.
He said that with the new system, customers can now make an assortment of banking business from the comfort of their homes or offices.

He was addressing a press conference at Stanbic Bank’s Kampala City branch on December 5. For one to use the facility, one has to make a one-time payment of Shs5,000 and no monthly subscription will be charged. Water and power bills payment will attract a fee of Shs350 per transaction.

While addressing a press conference at Stanbic Bank Kampala City Branch, Mr Odera said that through Internet banking, clients will be able to make balance enquiries, view and download bank statements.

He also added that clients will also be able to do inter account transfer, effect third party payment-like utility bills, make notifications and log queries related to transactions on their accounts and stop cheques. This is so useful to the tourism industry especially because tourist booking Uganda Safaris make their deposits through money transfer and have always found it hard doing it manually.

This new banking system will also help in de-congesting banking halls, as many of the customers will transact in the comfort of their homes and offices.

Mr Daniel Walusimbi, the Communications manager, said that the system is secure, but warned that customers need to protect and keep their personal identification numbers safely.
