In mobile banking, My Fibank, everyone can quickly and easily pay for their car's stay in paid parking zones in major cities in Bulgaria, without paying additional fees for this.
From today, the “Parking Zones“ service is available in the mobile application of Fibank (First Investment Bank) and provides a convenient alternative for paying for parking in blue and green zones, outside the familiar parking coupons, and this via SMS message.
With this option, customers no longer pay the previous additional fee for sending a message via the mobile operator. Payment is made directly from a bank account and customers do not owe fees for the bank transaction itself, paying only the cost of parking, without added costs.
The service was developed by the National Card and Payment Scheme, part of BORICA, and Fibank as their partner provides its convenience for its customers. In addition to the speed and lower costs of the “parking zones“ service, using it, customers also receive a number of additional benefits:
-
They can save the license plates of their cars in the My Fibank mobile application for easier access and management of vehicles from a single account;
-
When paying next time in a parking zone, users will be able to choose from the already saved vehicles for a faster and easier payment of the parking service;
-
Before the parking time expires, a reminder notification is sent so that customers can extend their stay and avoid an unforeseen situation.
The “Parking zones“ service helps the bank's customers reduce their costs. When the mobile phone's geolocation is turned on, it automatically indicates what type of zone the car is in. In this way, customers receive real-time up-to-date data on fees and the maximum permitted stay for the zone, even when parking in a new city or an unfamiliar parking zone.
Upon successful payment, the customer receives a notification with parking details, including: the type of zone, the period for which the service was paid and the vehicle number. If a car has already been parked in a parking zone, the user has the option to extend the parking or create a new request for another car.
With the “Parking zones“ service, every Fibank client has the opportunity to optimize their time and park safely with My Fibank.
