Push Notifications replace SMS regarding card transaction information.

The Bank’s customers will now be notified by Push Notifications and not by text messages (SMS) when their card transaction is completed.

What are Push Notifications? A Push Notification is a notification message that appears on the mobile phone. Application providers can send such notifications at any time and users do not need to be signed in the application in order to receive them. In this way, customers are notified of news headlines, the latest sports rankings, product promotions and more.

This particular development enhances the user’s experience whilst at the same time strengthens the security level of the transactions, since Push Notifications have certain features and capabilities that SMS messages do not have. For instance, Push Notifications are encrypted messages as opposed to SMS messages. Not everyone can send Push Notifications to a mobile phone, in contrast to SMS messages where the sender only needs to know the phone number. Moreover, it is now common for fraudsters to send SMS messages, pretending to be banking institutions or merchants, thus managing to extract sensitive information from their holders such as card details.

Moreover, apart from providing additional security Bank of Cyprus, in its efforts to constantly finding efficient and immediate ways of sending information to  its customers. is implementing this change as the time of sending and receiving the notification is significantly faster than that of an SMS. On his/her part, the customer can keep a file of notifications in his/her application, in the same manner as keeping a record of his/her transactions.

Please note that the Bank’s customers who do not have the 1Bank application installed on their mobile phone, will continue to be informed via SMS messages.
