Q: Why should I use Mobile Banking?
A: Because of all the times when it could come in handy:
- When you’re in a store and see a big-ticket item you want, wouldn’t it be nice to be able to check your account balance and make sure you have enough in your account to cover it?
- When you’re waiting around in a doctor’s office or at the DMV or an airport, wouldn’t that be a good time to check and review your transaction history?
- When you’re on vacation, running errands or have no computer access for any other reason and have a bill you forgot to pay from home, wouldn’t it be convenient to be able to make that bill payment from your phone?
- Suppose you’re going out and realize you’ll need some cash. How great would it be to be able to use your phone to find the closest ATM?
