The Bank’s new website has been online since the 17th of December. In the first week, we have had 137,000 visitors, and 10,000 users have signed up for the e-mail alert service.
Totally changed in technology, graphics and content, the new site is simple, user-friendly, intuitive to navigate. The search engine, with added functions, directs you precisely and quickly to the content you want.
The layers of information accumulated over time in the previous version of the site necessitated thorough-going reorganization. The content relating to any given matter, which used to be disseminated in various parts of the site, has been brought together. Obsolete information has been either updated or eliminated. Some files have been renamed, and some PDF content has been converted into HTML pages, to enhance research, the sharing of content on social platforms, and the usability of the site by mobile devices.
The reorganization was carried out in such a way as to preserve the Bank’s rich informational heritage (over 35,000 content items, 1,300 news items, and 660 photos/videos). Nevertheless, in the first few days the new organization resulted in a severing of the links with content of the old site and caused problems in locating some contents using outside search engines. These problems are being resolved; please excuse us for the inconvenience. None of the old content, not even what has been eliminated as totally obsolete, is actually lost. It can always be accessed using the site’s internal search engine. In any case, we have activated mechanisms that redirect you automatically, and we have intervened with the main outside search engines in order to mitigate the temporary inconvenience to users.
