Northeast Bank has just made life easier for its banking clients. With the launch of their own banking app for the iPhone, customers can now easily access their accounts and perform the usual transactions such as balance inquiries, transfer funds or search for branches or ATMs.

Mobile banking has been growing from the past years and while many have witnessed this via the use of the Internet, the evolution of the iPhone as another option for mobile browsing has opened the door for the development of mobile banking apps today.

Customers need to be signed up for Northeast Online, and once signed up, mobile banking is a free service offered to those customers.

Text messaging technology has made its way into the banking scene as NYE has announced that it will offer balance inquiries by text message to its financial institution participants as a standard feature of full participation in the NYCE Network.

NYCE Payments Network, LLC, is a leading U.S. electronic payments network and a Metavante company. Metavante Corporation is a leading provider of banking and payments technology.

The basic text message transactions will be an extension of the balance inquiry functionality commonly available at NYCE Network ATMs, with no additional fees for mobilization. The new service, powered by Monitise Americas, will allow consumers to use text messaging to request and receive real-time balance information on their primary accounts.

Text message balance inquiries will work for virtually all mobile phone users regardless of their mobile carrier or the type of handset they use.
