Greater transparency in mobile banking: Bank BNP Paribas partners with Snowdrop Solutions
BNP Paribas Polska has partnered with Snowdrop Solutions to make mobile banking more transparent by providing customers with clearer, enriched transaction information.

Every user of GOmobile, Bank BNP Paribas’ mobile banking app, is now able to see merchant logos displayed alongside their card transactions. This new feature makes everyday money management simpler and more visually engaging, while also adding another safeguard against fraud and scams that exploit company names resembling those of legitimate businesses.
The new feature in the GOmobile banking app was developed using the MRS API provided by Snowdrop Solutions. The API enriches transaction data with additional elements, allowing users to see the merchant’s name and logo instead of a technical merchant identifier.
“The changes in the GOmobile app are inspired by the three pillars of our new Accelerate 2030 strategy: Expand–Streamline–Impact. We are expanding the app’s functionality, streamlining spending management, and making a tangible impact on the user experience for millions of our customers. As a result, using GOmobile a daily basis will become even easier and more transparent.”
"BNP Paribas Bank Polska is exactly the kind of forward-thinking institution that understands how data enrichment translates directly into customer satisfaction. We are proud to see our transaction enrichment API powering this release and look forward to supporting the bank as it continues to evolve its digital offering."
The enhancement is also part of the bank’s ongoing efforts to continuously improve customer security. Given the increasing number of fraud attempts involving web addresses that closely resemble those of genuine, legitimate companies, displaying the merchant’s logo will provide an additional layer of verification and protection.
“At Bank BNP Paribas, we continuously monitor the security landscape affecting our customers. At the same time, we believe that security measures should operate seamlessly in the background and should not interfere with everyday banking activities, as is the case with the behavioural protection mechanisms we have previously introduced. Adding merchant logos to transactions is another step in that direction, enhancing security while simultaneously improving the user experience,” says Volodymyr Radin.
For many years, Bank BNP Paribas has focused on simplifying communication with its customers. Transaction information has long been an area with room for improvement, and the new feature introduced through the partnership with Snowdrop Solutions addresses this need perfectly. With familiar logos and accurate merchant names displayed, every transaction becomes easier to recognize and understand.
Merchant logos will appear automatically alongside transactions without the need to change any settings. Users simply need to update the GOmobile app. The latest version is already available for download from Google Play and the App Store. Existing users will also receive the update automatically through their device’s standard app update service.
