Targeting financial institutions such as banks, brokerage firms and credit unions, Sila Communications says it will offer Euronet's Account Access and Event Messaging as a wireless ASP solution (Application Service Provider) in Europe and throughout Asia/Pacific. Sila currently has offices and data centre facilities throughout Europe, Singapore and South Africa.

Account Access enables a customer to make a balance inquiry, retrieve a mini-statement, perform an intra-bank transfer, change a password, report a lost or stolen debit card, pay bills, forward information requests and add or delete alerts via a mobile handset. The wireless Event Messaging capability enables banks customers to specify their preferred alerts service.

Under the agreement, Sila and Euronet will manage the integration between the bank back-end and wireless devices, including secure, reliable, high-performance connectivity to all mobile operators, the companies say.

Euronet has signed similar agreements with Aether Systems and Gemplus.
