Millennium Bank customers benefit from safer card online transactions following the launch of 3D (3 Domain) Secure technology, said the bank in a press release. rnrn3D Secure is the highest international standard for securing internet payments, implemented by Visa and MasterCard. The service is provided free of charge by Millennium Bank to its clients and ensures a higher security level by reducing the fraud risk. The technology consists of a personalised client authentication method for card online payments at merchants from Romania or abroad that are part of the 3D Secure project.rnrn“E-commerce in Romania has been increasing significantly and our customers contribute to that. The number of online transactions with Millennium Bank cards rose by 60% in May 2010 compared to May 2009. Therefore, we focus on providing our cardholders the highest security level. Implementing the 3D service for Millennium Bank cards is the second step, after having implemented the chip technology, at the end of 2009, for all cards issued under Visa and MasterCard brands”, stated Eliza Erhan, Head of Retail Product Development at Millennium Bank.rnrnAll debit and credit, Visa and MasterCard cards issued by Millennium Bank – both for retail and corporate clients – are automatically enrolled in 3D Secure by the bank at the moment of their issuance. The clients only need to activate the service by assigning a username and a password that they will later make use of to authorise any online payment made on websites that are part of the project. The service activation is done online, the customers do not need to go to the bank or sign any additional contract. Further details about the advantages of this service and the steps to activate it are available on www.millenniumbank.ro.rn

Neutral interest rate in Romania

The neutral nominal rate in Romania has been falling since the start of inflation targeting in 2005. The Taylor Rule clearly shows that interest rates peaked in 2022 and have been on a clear downward path ever since.Furthermore, the model estimates a long-term neutral nominal rate of around 3.9%, which is the equivalent of approx. 1.4% real.Using a more sophisticated model (i.e. New York FED’S HLW model), the real neutral interest rate in Romania is estimated currently at around 1.5% (1.7% 2023 average) and the historical mean at 1.2%.This implies a neutral nominal rate between 4.00% and 4.50%. In the past decade, the NBR real effective rate was below the neutral rate and only over the past year climbed above the neutral mark.Source: Erste Bank
