The app was one of a number of innovative products and services for business banking customers highlighted by the Bank at the conference.

The ScotiaConnect Mobile Banking for Business app allows corporate treasury departments, CEO's and owners of small- or medium-sized businesses to use their smartphone to view balances and transactions, approve and submit payments and create, submit and approve account transfers and bill payments. In addition, the integrated security token provides seamless and secure access into the ScotiaConnect Mobile Banking for Business app.

"We recognize that our business customers need access to their banking whenever they want, wherever they are," said Rania Llewellyn, Executive Vice President Global Business Banking at Scotiabank. "The convenience and security of a mobile banking app with an integrated security token offers the flexibility and security they need to stay connected wherever they are."

Scotiabank was the first Canadian bank to offer customers an integrated security token that enables them to log-in using a PIN or biometrics like touchID or FaceID.

"At Scotiabank, we are transforming the end-to-end business banking experience by simplifying the customer experience and offering new, innovative digital solutions for our customers that are specifically designed to meet our customers' evolving banking needs."
