We are the leader in the quality of advice and services, and we are also very successful in payment technology innovations and the ability to adjust products and services to our clients’ changing needs,” Henri Bonnet, Komerční banka’s Chairman and CEO, commented on the awards.

Among other things, Komerční banka is the first bank on the Czech market to make available the contactless payment technology to users of mobile handsets with Apple’s iOS operating system and with the Android operating system also for clients who want to make contactless payments with their conventional credit card.

Komerční banka has placed second in the Banking Innovator 2012 category for contactless payment innovations.
