Verizon (NYSE: VZ) has announced that select BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) users (Curve 8330, Pearl 8130, and 8830 World Edition) can use their addictive smartphones to “stay connected to their financial information while away from home with Verizon Wireless’ Mobile Banking application.”
With Verizon’s mobile banking service, users can:
- Get account balances and account transaction history.
- Transfer funds between eligible accounts at the same financial institution.
- View and pay bills when enrolled in their financial institution’s Bill Pay service.
- View the last five transactions successfully completed on their mobile devices.
To get Mobile Banking on Verizon Wireless, users should click on the “Mobile Banking” link from the “VZ Start” homepage to download the app. There is no monthly charge for the application, although data charges may apply.
In addition to BlackBerry smartphones, Verizon’s mobile banking app/service is also available on a number of Get It Now-enabled phones.
