  • Towards Sustainability in E-Banking Website Assessment Methods
    sustainability Article Towards Sustainability in E-Banking Website Assessment Methods Witold Chmielarz and Marek Zborowski * Faculty of Management, University of Warsaw, Krakowskie Przedmie´scie26/28, 00-927 Warsaw, Poland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 23 June 2020; Accepted: 24 August 2020; Published: 27 August 2020 Abstract: Nowadays, banking services have evolved from offline financial services to online platforms available in the form of websites and mobile applications. While multiple methods exist for evaluation of generic-purpose websites, the appraisal of banking services requires a more sophisticated approach. Multiple factors need to be taken into consideration, revolving not only around technical and usability aspects of the sites, but also considering the economic and anti-crisis factors. Moreover, due to the fact that one of the groups of people interested in banking services assessment are potential clients, which might or might not be technically and theoretically literate, a sustainable approach to banking services evaluation is needed. The main contribution of this paper is a sustainable approach balancing the evaluation accuracy with usage simplicity and computational complexity of evaluation methods. Also, a reference model for banking services evaluation is provided. In practical terms, a set of all significant commercial banking services in Poland is assessed. Last, but not least, a preliminary study of practical applicability of various evaluation methods amongst computer-literate banking clients is performed. Keywords: internet banking; website evaluations; multi-criteria evaluation methods 1. Introduction One of the most important problems associated with bank management at present is how to maintain the existing clients and how to acquire new ones.

I The high proportion of foreign ownership has caused a backlash against the perceived predominance of foreign banks.

A bright rom a cash and treasury manager’sfuture point of view, European embarked on the wholesale privatisation of the banking sector.

Banki, jako instytucje zaufania publicznego o po- dwójnej roli w życiu społecznym (komercyjnej i służebnej) [Szpringer, 2009, s. 106], powinny opierać aktywność na etycznym postępowaniu względem społeczeństwa i środowiska. Ponadto warto podkreślić, iż w ostatnich latach zaufanie do banków permanentnie spada. W konsekwencji wiąże się to z utratą przez bank statusu insty- tucji zaufania publicznego, a w skrajnych przypadkach dochodzi do określania go „instytucją braku zaufania publicznego” [Dziawgo, 2009, s. 107–108]. Współczesna gospodarka stawia nowe wymagania biznesowe, a jednym z nich jest potrzeba większej transparentności. Co więcej, konieczność zwiększania jawno- ści danych dotyczy już nie tylko kwestii finansowych, ale również pozafinansowych. Sposobem informowania o efektach przyjętej strategii społecznej odpowiedzialności jest tworzenie oraz publikowanie raportów społecznych.

  • Warsaw, October 27Th, 2020 Press Release PKO Bank Polski Is the First
    Warsaw, October 27th, 2020 Press Release PKO Bank Polski is the first bank in Europe to implement a durable medium combining blockchain, WORM matrix and cloud technologies. A durable medium is entering a new stage of development in Poland. Thanks to the unique combination of blockchain technology and WORM storage in the cloud, the solution created by KIR1 in partnership with Hitachi and with the participation of OChK2 and IBM can be used by Polish companies for fast and secure electronic distribution of private documents. PKO Bank Polski3 was the first to make this tool available in contacts with its clients. Durable medium is the future of digitization when it comes to contacts with customers. Under regulatory requirements, the tool ensures that documents are invariable and irremovable, while alerting the users to any instances of their dispatching. It enables each and every customer document, from the first version to the latest, to be stored in a safe and secure way and to be accessible at any time from anywhere, even after the end of the contract. Thanks to the cooperation of KIR, Hitachi, Operator Chmury Krajowej (OChK) and IBM, the first such cloud-based solution is now available in Poland, uniquely combining blockchain and WORM technologies. A durable medium allows the distribution of private documents relating to specific users, in compliance with all legal requirements, including GDPR. The clients of a given institution will be able to log in to a dedicated portal and immediately gain access to all information. What's more, they will also be able to make sure that files have not been changed without their knowledge - this functionality is supported by blockchain technology.
