Marketing Director of PrivatBank. 'The architecture of our applications suits Google Glass
ideally. We don't even have to adapt anything, everything is ready.'
PhotoKassa [http://privatbank.ua/apps/fotokassa ] application makes it possible to pay
bills by simply taking pictures of them, SendMoney [http://privatbank.ua/apps/sendmoney ]
application is used to transfer money and fulfill other commands using voice, and the
bank's main application Privat24 [http://privatbank.ua/apps/privat-24 ], in addition to
all standard functions, provides an opportunity to scan QR codes and carry out bank
transactions, such as withdraw cash from ATMs, pay for purchases or enter the
Internet-bank.
PrivatBank is one of the most hi-tech banks in Europe. The technologies which
PrivatBank was the first worldwide to introduce include SMS banking (1999), SMS one time
passwords (2000), 2 passwords between cards (2003), Electronic Change (2009), online
collection (2010), and others. PrivatBank became one of the first banks to launch QR code

make and pay for an order in a restaurant's online menu card. Today, every third customer
of the bank uses its online services and mobile applications.
