BROOKFIELD, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Fiserv,
Inc. (NASDAQ: FISV), a leading global provider of financial services
technology solutions, today announced that U.S. Bank's online banking
customers now have access to an iPad® banking application
(app) built on the Mobiliti Enterprise™ mobile banking and payments
platform from Fiserv. The U.S. Bank app serves consumers' growing
interest in tablet banking. According to the 2011
Fiserv Consumer Trends Survey, 45 percent of current and prospective
tablet owners use or would like to use them for banking.
Using the iPad app, U.S. Bank customers can check their account balances
and activity, complete account to account transfers, view and pay bills,
send and receive person-to-person payments and remotely deposit checks
simply by snapping a picture. Customers can download the iPad app from
the iTunes® app store via a link on the U.S. Bank site.
"Our customers are already using tablets to access their U.S. Bank
accounts through the device's browser, so we know the demand for tablet
banking exists and is growing," said Niti Badarinath, senior vice
president and head of mobile banking, U.S. Bank. "Launching an app
allows us to deliver a user experience specifically designed for the
unique attributes of a tablet, such as the larger touch-screen and a
more interactive interface."
The U.S. Bank iPad application is built on the Mobiliti Enterprise
platform, which powers other mobile services for the bank, such as text
banking and apps for the iPhone® and Android™ phones. This
provides U.S. Bank with integrated channel management and analytics
across multiple mobile access modes, giving them a view of how consumers
use each mode and how they move between them for different tasks. It
also allows the bank to extend its proven mobile risk mitigation and
security features to the tablet.
Consumer usability testing was employed during the app development
process to ensure that the final product was intuitive and user
friendly, and that it included the most sought-after capabilities. The
app will continue to be refined based on user feedback.
"A significant portion of tablet owners are using them for banking
activities, and as tablet ownership increases, demand for financial
services delivered via tablet will increase as well," said Mike Gianoni,
group president, Financial Institutions Group, Fiserv.
"With Mobiliti, U.S. Bank is well positioned to meet their customers'
current and future desires for digital financial services through tablet
and mobile devices," said Erich Litch, division president, Digital
Channels, Fiserv.
