“We are listening and responding to our
customers by broadening our mobile banking services,” said Arah
Erickson, head of Wells Fargo Retail
Mobile Banking. “Our goal is to make it even more convenient for
customers to access their account information – anytime, anywhere –
helping them save time and providing peace of mind.”
Customers can now access their current account
balances, transaction history, and credit card payment information
through the new applications. Customers can also transfer funds to
their other accounts or to other Wells
Fargo customers and pay bills.
As the m-banking platform is integrated with
each smartphone’s GPS feature, customers can also search for the
nearest ATM or Wells Fargo banking store using their handsets.
“Wells Fargo wants
to be where our customers are,” said Erickson. “However they prefer
to bank on the go, whether through apps, text, or our mobile web
site, we are there for them. In addition, access to account
information while on the go provides customers with added
confidence when it comes to fraud prevention and detection. Mobile
banking allows customers to review their accounts for unusual
activity anytime, and take quick action if necessary.”
