Last Sunday, I was home with a huge headache and a sore throat. My kids were helping the matter by loudly playing with blocks. Since I clearly wasn\u2019t getting any rest, I logged into my online personal banking to check my account and bills. Suddenly, I saw an announcement that caught my attention.<\/p>\n
\u201cAdvanced Mobile Banking for Smart Devices\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s great!\u201d I thought.\u00a0 I can download this application on my smartphone and check my banking anytime I want. I usually wait to check my bank accounts from home to feel safer, but now I\u2019ll be able to access my accounts quickly on the go.<\/p>\n But then the ad continued:<\/p>\n \u201cSmart Devices: Bank X now offers its new smart banking functionality to all users of Smartphones. To access Mobile Banking 24 hours a day visit m.xbank.com. \u201c<\/strong><\/p>\n WHAT? They don\u2019t offer an application I can download? That\u2019s odd. What are they offering then? Another URL? But I am already using a URL\u2026<\/p>\n And then the ad continued:<\/p>\n \u201cMobile Banking: You only need a mobile phone with an internet browser.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Funny.<\/p>\n So, sadly I realized that there was no \u201cAdvanced<\/em> Mobile Banking\u201d as they mentioned on their home page. It was just another website. A mobile site, but just a website nonetheless.<\/p>\n Thanks a lot, Bank X!<\/p>\n Sometimes, just a mobile site is not enough.\u00a0 An actual advanced mobile banking application would have been great. For those of us who don\u2019t have much time (and I think that\u2019s most of us\u2026), an app would be a safe and secure timesaver.<\/p>\n I know a lot of banks around the world already have apps, but many more do not.\u00a0 For banks, and any business that deals with sensitive consumer data, creating an app is a great opportunity.\u00a0 Not only does an app offer your customers a useful tool, but it allows you to differentiate your business.<\/p>\n P.S. We at customedialabs would love to help you make your customers happy with an app!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last Sunday, I was home with a huge headache and a sore throat.
