BB&T takes swing at mobile banking
October 22, 2007
Digital Transactions:BB&T Corp. this week introduced a new mobile-banking service that will offer consumers three interfaces for two-way interaction with the bank through cell phones and other mobile devices. The interfaces are text messaging and Wireless Application Protocol, or WAP - a system that uses a phone's existing browser. BB&T is working with ClairMail Inc. of Novato, Calif., and Sausalito, Calif.-based mFoundry Inc.
BB&T will offer only banking functions when the system starts its first phase in November.
