San Diego-based Firethorn Holdings LLC, a Qualcomm company, has announced a deal with MetroPCS Communications Inc. that allows MetroPCS to offer Firethorn's mobile-banking application to its customers.
According to a news release from Firethorn, the mobile-banking platform can now be downloaded for free by MetroPCS customers from the @Metro store.
Tripp Rackley, president of Firethorn, says the addition of the mobile-banking app will offer banking customers a wider variety of financial-services options:
The addition of Firethorn's mobile-banking application can provide millions of customers the opportunity to receive a balanced picture of their personal finances on their mobile device, so they can make real-time, informed purchase decisions. Consumers will be able to view their bank and credit card balances and history, make transfers between their accounts and pay their bills securely from their mobile phones using a single PIN. They can also check rewards information and review targeted, timely offers from their financial institutions as part of the application's evolving mobile-commerce capabilities.
