Vendors Give Browser-Based Mobile Banking Apps a Facelift
"Banking applications for iPhone, iPad, Android, BlackBerry and other mobile devices are growing fast, but not all consumers are keen to download specialized apps from their bank. Some prefer to bank using just a web browser on their device.

That’s why she appreciates the capabilities of mobile banking. 'You learn to multitask when you’re holding a baby and trying to cook dinner,' said Houle, whose family recently took out a loan to build a home in St. Augusta. 'I can make a payment on my phone and look up anything on our other accounts. Anything that can make life easier, I’m on board with.'”
