mBank and Slovenská sporiteľňa announce service updates and maintenance

mBank has updated its mobile application to improve security accessibility. The update introduces a dedicated Security section, accessible via a shield icon, which centralizes features such as card and transaction blocking, payment limit adjustments, and login history. The bank also highlighted its “panic button” feature, which allows users to immediately block transfers, card payments, and ATM withdrawals if they suspect fraudulent activity or compromised credentials. Additionally, a new PIN entry feature allows for the randomized placement of digits on the keypad to prevent onlookers from observing codes in public spaces.

Slovenská sporiteľňa has announced a scheduled technical maintenance period for the night of November 6 to November 7, 2026. During a one-hour window from midnight to 1:00 AM, eleven banking services will be temporarily unavailable. This outage will affect the George internet and mobile banking platforms, Sporopay, the Databanking system, and the Business24 application for corporate clients. The API interface for external applications and the mToken service for transaction confirmation will also be offline. While card withdrawals from ATMs will remain functional, push notifications for account movements and card payments will be suspended during the maintenance period.
