Locating an AIB branch and calculating loan repayments while on the move are some of the features of AIB's free, Apple App, which is now available for Apple iPhones/iTouch.
AIB has just launched its Apple App in Ireland designed specifically for use on the iPhone/iTouch which is in addition to its Android App which was launched in October 2011. It allows users to check their balances, pay bills, transfer funds and top-up their mobile phones.
Initial customer feedback for the new app has been overwhelmingly positive.
