Quebec-based Mouvement des caisses Desjardins has launched a wireless service to enable clients to conduct financial transactions via their mobile phone.
Customers of the bank will be able to use wireless technology from Wysdom to check their account balances, make bill payments, funds transfers and line of credit payments from their cellular phones at any place and time. Users will also be able to view the most recent transactions on their accounts and see other financial information, such as a display of current interest rates.
Earlier this year, communications firm Bell Canada signed a partnership agreement with the bank through which Bell Mobility subscribers will become the first to use the new technology.
