You can buy Internet for foreign trips in the Bank Millennium app

In the Bank Millennium app you can buy an eSIM card with a favourable internet package to be used abroad. This is another service of the Bank that facilitates free travel around the world. The solution is available thanks to cooperation with the fintech Autopay.

Bank Millennium has decided to make it easier for its customers to travel abroad. In its smart app, it has launched the ability to buy eSIM cards with internet plans abroad. Customers can purchase data packages of 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 20 or 50 GB valid for 7, 15 or 30 days at favourable prices. The range of individual packages covers almost the entire world. The smartphone on which we want to use the solution must support the possibility of installing virtual SIM cards (eSIM). The solution is available to customers who have confirmed their identity at a branch, have a personal account and have the latest version of the app activated.

- Our smart banking app is an extensive service centre that allows customers to take care of all the most necessary matters every day. Purchase of insurance, transport tickets, payment for motorway journeys and many other additional opportunities that make it easier for customers to function in a digitally developed world. We know that it is equally important for them to stay in touch with family and friends during trips abroad. That is why we are happy to open the possibility of simple purchase in our trusted banking app and at a favourable price of internet packages for foreign trips - convinces Ernest Lachowski, Director of the Mobile and Internet Banking Sub-unit at Bank Millennium.

An eSIM card can be purchased and installed on a smartphone from the level of the Bank Millennium app. In the smart banking app, you can check the status of purchased cards (date of installation, purchase and validity period) and the amount of data used on an ongoing basis. The card activation itself takes place in the phone settings. You can use the internet as soon as you reach the country for which you bought the package – the plan starts working when you connect to the local mobile network. This is another service of Bank Millennium related to mobile communication. In Millenet and the mobile application, the Bank also allows you to register SIM cards and top up your prepaid phone. The service applies to most operators: T-Mobile, Heyah, Plus, PLAY, Orange, nju mobile, Virgin Mobile, Lycamobile and Mobile Vikings. The partner of these solutions is Autopay.

- At Autopay, we remove many barriers that hinder everyday functioning - we make it easier to pay bills, shop online or travel by car in Europe. We offer a comprehensive ecosystem of solutions for private customers and companies. The introduction of the eSIM service is a natural step in our development. Thanks to eSIM, foreign trips will be even more comfortable and you will never have to worry about constant access to the Internet and contact with loved ones again. This is especially important now, during the holiday season, when many people are away but still want to stay online - says Andrzej Szewczyk, Business Unit Leader at Autopay.

The possibility of purchasing eSIM cards with internet access complements the rich offer of Bank Millennium addressed to people who are willing to travel abroad. Customers can pay in foreign currency directly from the Millennium 360° account or by credit card. The limit of up to PLN 5,000 per month allows you to settle FX transactions with the card without the Bank's margin for currency conversion. The Bank also invariably uses attractive exchange rates of payment organisations for transactions in foreign currency with all types of cards. Millennium 360° account holders can also instantly exchange currencies in the Bank Millennium mobile app. In the exchange office, you can exchange: euros (EUR), dollars (USD), British pounds (GBP) and Swiss francs (CHF).
