Poland's latest on-line bank offers brand new e-mail banking service

A brand new banking service is being offered to its customers by Inteligo, Poland's second on-line bank that has now opened for business. Inteligo is a joint venture between Bankgesellschaft Berlin AG and Inteligo Financial Services. Apart from offering on-line banking services, with accounts accessible via the Internet and telephone, Inteligo also provides a so-called e-mail money service. Account holders are able to conduct transactions via the e-mail, as long as they know the e-mail address of the person to whom they want to send money. Inteligo's other on-line services are similar to those already provided by mBank. There is little difference between the interest rates offered by Poland's two on-line banks; 17.8% in the case of Inteligo and 16.6% by mBank. (Puls Biznesu, p.5; Rzeczpospolita, p.B4) A.D.
