Why does Google Play say that OP-mobile is not available in my country even if I am in Finland?
Why does OP-mobile ask permissions to use my device's other applications, such as contacts, camera or phone?
Here's why OP-mobile needs permissions, by application:
• Contacts: to get the payee's phone number for a Siirto payment
• Location: to locate the nearest branch office and Otto ATM and to provide directions
• Phone calls: to enable you to call directly from OP-mobile the customer service numbers of OP's banking and insurance services
• Photos/Media/Files: to save receipts of payments and account transactions from OP-mobile to your device
• Camera: to scan a bill's barcode
• Phone status: because using the Mobile key requires device information.
OP-mobile data security – Is OP-mobile secure?
OP-mobile is a secure service channel to do banking and insurance transactions
- Ensure that your phone's software is up to date
- Do not install web applications if you do not know their origin
- Do not remove the security restrictions on your phone knowingly (Jailbreaking and Rooting)
- Sign out of the application when you stop using banking or insurance services
OP-mobile does not save information subject to bank secrecy to the mobile device during the session. The information transfers to OP-Financial Group's system as strongly encrypted data irrespective of the network connection.
If you suspect that your personal online user identifiers have fallen into the hands of an unauthorised party, deactivate them immediately by calling at 010 253 1333 (weekdays from 9 am until 6 pm, local network charge/mobile charge). Outside the telephone service hours, deactivate your user identifiers by calling the deactivation service, tel. +358 100 0555 (24/7). Also report to the telephone service when it is open again.
Why isn’t OP-mobile working?
There are occasional disruptions on OP-mobile and in the op.fi service due to maintenance. For this reason, OP-mobile may be momentarily unavailable. These disruptions are always brief and temporary. For the latest information about disruptions and incidents, see the front page on OP-mobile and op.fi.
If you have problems in using OP-mobile or the app doesn’t work and there is no maintenance ongoing, check that your operating system version is up to date.

Barcode payment – How does it work?
You can pay bills with a barcode using the barcode features on OP-mobile. You can find it under "New Payment" button when you are paying your bill. By clicking the barcode icon, the camera starts up and you can point with it to the barcode in the bill, from which OP-mobile picks up the payment details. Check the details and enter the payee's name before you pay the bill.
