Mobile banking

Jayne Opperman is the third new tech hire the bank has made this month.

Brett Pitts joins from Wells Fargo, where he most recently was executive vice president and group head of digital.

Mike Warriner joins the bank with a focus on setting its digital platform strategy.

U.K. startup Flux has signed up a few banks for its platform that delivers real-time receipts to mobile banking apps. The problem is that few retailers are interested, and experts say that’s not likely to change any time soon.

Adding retirement accounts broadens the app's offerings to millennial clients.

The biggest thing going for recent mobile apps launched by Wells Fargo and JPMorgan Chase may not be any digital innovation associated with them.
