An afternoon like any other. Food, petting, park.
Dear Diary,
I’m Bubis.
A dog that lives with Takis. And that means a lot. Takis is the type who discovers something new every day, and I have to keep my mind, observe, prepare.
To know what surprises it has in store for me. So today I didn’t like something, something seemed strange to me. He was too smiling for me not to suspect.
It all started when we were sitting on the balcony enjoying the sun. That is, me. Takis was tucked into his laptop and smiling to himself. Strange things.
Without a second thought, I asked him directly, “Taki… who do you talk to at lunch?”
His response? “With Sophia, my Bubi.” Like he was saying the most normal thing in the world.
“Well… And where did you meet this Sophia?”
And then he explained to me. Sophia is the chatbot of the National Bank. The digital assistant who is there whenever you need her, day or night. Who answers directly about the Bank’s products and services. Information on loans, cards, savings. And everything is done in a few steps, digitally.
I was relieved. He finally found a girl who won’t let him in read.
And just when I thought everything fell into place and the day would go smoothly, I see him open another tab on the laptop. He was looking for something, muttering something. Do you know what that new thing was again? That he is finally going to buy his own house and has already made an appointment with a mortgage adviser. He was speechless with joy.
After all, I didn’t pay much attention. I just thought that at least this way we would still go for a walk, even to the bank.
But before I could get him the leash, he explained that he didn’t have to go anywhere. It will do video call from the sofa, with a consultant from the National Bank, and they will solve everything in no time.
Of course I wanted to go for a walk. So, without further ado, I brought him the leash. And finally, we went out.
(What did I want…)
In the park, Takis was sitting relaxed on the bench and I was standing proud, like the proud molossus that I am. And of course, I noticed his cell phone, which he had left like that again, exposed.
As if he read my mind, he told me that I don’t need to worry.
Ah, I say today we can’t figure it out. What happened again? How can I not be worried that he has given up like this. They will steal it from us.
But he, with the unusual calm that now characterizes him, told me that with online features offered by National in transaction security, it has protection in a thousand and two ways. That is, in order to enter the app, identification is required. Simple, but powerful. And with every transaction, he gets a mobile notification. If something goes wrong, it can block or freeze the card.
And while he was talking, I looked at him proudly and thought, well done Taki. Sophia informs you, the consultant guides you and all this in absolute safety. All through Mobile Banking of National Bank. All connected. Everything as it should be from the bank today. Simple and humane.
And for me? More time with Takis. More walks. More bones.
