Mobile business cards newly only with George
As of 1 November 2023, it will be possible to add business cards to mobile wallets only with the George mobile app. The method of confirmation via text messages will be replaced by a more comfortable and secure way.
Therefore, all business card holders will need the George mobile app, which they may download to their smart devices free of charge. Additionally, they will need the Bank IDentity of Česká spořitelna, which is necessary to access the George app.
The George app can be downloaded at any time. However, we strongly recommend that the business card holders activate the George app ahead of time. Without the George app it will not be possible to add a new business card to the digital wallet or the currently used card to a new device.
1. To activate the George mobile app, you need an activation code. You can obtain the code either
a. at the nearest ATM of Česká spořitelna by using your plastic business card,
or
b. at any of our branches where you need to bring your identity card or passport with you.
The activation code is valid for 14 days.
2. Download the George app to your mobile phone by scanning the QR code or look it up in Google Play Store, App Store, or HUAWEI AppGallery.
3. Open the George app in your mobile phone and sign in.
4. Enter your username (i.e., e-mail that was used to create your Bank IDentity of Česká spořitelna) and your day and month of birth.
If you do not remember your username, you may call us at our freephone number 800 207 207.
5. Enter or scan the activation code that you obtained from the ATM or branch of ČS and wait for an SMS code that will be sent to your phone.
6. Enter the SMS code and confirm.
7. Choose a secure 4 to 8-digit PIN code. Make sure you remember the PIN as you will use it to confirm operations in the George app.
8. Now your George is activated and ready for you to confirm the business cards added to your mobile or smart watch digital wallet.
If you do not have Czech citizenship, come with your identity card or passport to any of our branches where our bankers will create the Bank IDentity of Česká spořitelna for you and help you with the mobile George app. Using Bank Identity of ČS is a secure way of verifying your identity online. It can be used when communicating not only with the bank but also with other authorities online. Creating the Bank Identity of ČS is free of charge.
