Bank of Montreal Extends Mobile Alerts Across Channels

Called BMO Alerts, the service provides quick updates via email, SMS and iPhone push notification. BMO senior manager of eChannel Strategy & Planning Dan Dickinson says the new product was developed through a combination of internal BMO technology that delivers the alerts and third-party vendors that manage subscription and formatting. Customers can tailor the alerts based on personal account settings. “Demand among customers for online and mobile personal finance tools is certainly increasing,” Dickinson says. “The introduction of BMO Mobile Alerts allows customers to integrate their mobile banking across all mobile platforms, and compliments other recent online banking offerings, including BMO MoneyLogic. For example, while BMO MoneyLogic is intended to give online banking customers more control and insight into their ongoing spending and saving habits, the addition of BMO mobile alerts offers customers more immediate, on-the-go control over the key transactions that occur over the course of a day.” 
 BMO commissioned a Leger Marketing study that found that the number of Canadians with expenses exceeding their income has increased to 32 percent in 2011, compared to 20 percent in 2010. At the same time, people considered as living “paycheck to paycheck,” or with expenses roughly equal to income, increased to 27 percent from 16 percent.

Review: IPhone Apps for Canadian Banks | Iphone Updates

Just did some research recently for my blog to introduce some IPhone apps for Canadian banks. I have to say that most our major banks have noticed and responded the demand for the people want access their bank accounts through IPhone. But the qualities of the services are different.

Check my blog ( http://www.ottawa-apps.com/blog ),  you can find those Canadian banks with IPhone apps .

I have found that seven banks in Canada have their IPhone App for their customers. They are Royal Bank Canada (RBC), Scotia Bank, Toronto Dominion Bank (TD), Bank of Montreal (BMO), ING Direct Canada, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) and Desjardins. Since I cannot provide any comments for the transaction accuracy, and I would like to trust our banks can handle it very well or at least most of them have provide “Online Security Guarantee”. Here, I am going to provide a review for these apps only base on their functions.

1. Toronto Dominion Bank (TD Bank Canada) ????

The one for TD Bank is the most polished IPhone App for Canadian Banks. It is a full functional mobile application, and you can do what ever it is available through the TD Bank web site. Four major modules include,

TD Canada Trust: Access your consolidated chequing, savings, credit and investment account; pay bills and transfer money anytime, anywhere Branch Locator: list the nearest branch, ATM, TD Waterhouse Investor Centers in both Canada and U.S.

It also supports log in with multiple Access Card, WebBroker Connect ID, send and receive Interact Email Money Transfers.

Current Version: 2.1.3

Updated: Apr 28, 2011

 

2. Royal Bank Canada (RBC) ???

The biggest bank in Canada offers view account details, transfer funds, pay bills, interac email transfer and branch/ATM locator to its customers. The app runs pretty stable in IPhone, but customers also want that they can deal with their investments and insurances like the app from the TD bank.

After a recently update, the RBC app new can pay bills and transfer funds using US Dollar Banking Accounts, log in with nicknamed username/client cards and it support Retina display for IPhone 4.

Current Version: 1.2

Updated: Apr 28, 2011

 

3. ING Direct Canada ????

In my opinion the Internationale Nederlanden Groep (ING) does always provide excellent service to its customers. They do not have many branches as other banks, but they are really good doing the online banking. And I believe there are sufficient evidences they have brought their experience from online banking to the mobile apps. From ING’s web site, you can find they support most of major smartphone devices, Android, IPhone, Windows Phone 7, Blackberry, iPad, Playbook and mobile site access.
