April 15th, 2012, Manama, Bahrain: Bahraini retail and commercial banking institution, BMI Bank today announced the launch of a new eStatement service for its customers providing them added value, anywhere/anytime convenience and a higher level of security through a password protected file that is sent to them via a secure email. The service, available to customers for free, can be applied for via the Bank's corporate website or by visiting the Bank's branches.
Announcing the launch, Jamal Al-Hazeem, Chief Executive Officer of BMI Bank said:
"As a progressive local retail Bank, we consistently look to provide our loyal customers with best-in-class products and services and I am pleased to introduce yet another new service that enables them to monitor their financial transactions in a convenient and secure environment. This free-of-cost service, that has been designed electronically to duplicate the look and feel of a real statement, will be sent via a password protected email at the beginning of the customers' prevailing statement cycle. It can be downloaded and printed anywhere/anytime unlike the earlier method of having to wait for the statement to arrive via post.
At BMI Bank, we will continue to invest in enhancing our bouquet of products and services as well as delivery channels within the country through an enhanced branch and ATM network aimed at creating greater value for all our stakeholders."
The Bank's online channels were recently honored with three prestigious international awards recognizing its commitment to customers in providing them with an online service that efficiently caters to the ever-changing banking needs of customers across the region. Customers looking to subscribe to the service are requested to register online at www.bmibank.com or visit their nearest BMI Bank branch along with a set of valid identification documents to ensure that their Key Personnel Information available at the Bank is current.
