First bank to offer “TV banking” service

Poštovní spořitelna, part of the ČSOB group, is planning to present the service to customers at its branches in the next few weeks before launching it in the autumn. However, “TV banking” will only be available to customers who already use internet banking and whose sets use the internet protocol television system, a digital service delivered over a network infrastructure such as broadband.
