How Mobile Banking Solution Works For Users

SAN ANTONIO - How do users interact with the new AT&T mobile banking solution? After accessing mobile banking on the AT&T handset, customers use the code to link their account to the mobile application on their device. Customers then create their own personal identification number (PIN) to provide secure access to the application. All data is encrypted, and customers can deactivate the service immediately if handsets are misplaced. For additional security, new bill payees can only be added from customers' online banking accounts. AT&T said its customers pay no additional fee to access mobile banking and, because the application resides on the handset, the service is optimized to reduce the number of new page views necessary to complete a transaction. Minimal data usage charges apply and vary based on individual use. AT&T is recommending a data plan (starting at $9.99 a month) for customers who plan to use mobile banking and other data services frequently. (c) 2007 The Credit Union Journal and SourceMedia, Inc.
