Barclays intros mobile banking
May 21, 2007
Ben Camm-Jones

If you've got a web-enabled mobile phone you can find out your bank balance no matter where you are if you are a Barclays customer.

By visiting Barclays.mobi, you can securely log in to your account and view your balance on a site specially designed to be browsed on mobile devices.

Sean Gilchrist, director of electronic banking at Barclays said: “Barclays is constantly working to make the most of new technology and the opportunities it offers for accessing banking services.

"These days most of us are never far from our mobile phones and this new service means that we are now never far from our bank account either,” said Gilchrist.

This is just the latest of a series of innovative services from Barclays, who first introduced online banking services nearly nine years ago in June 1998.

Last month, Barclays began sending out an anti-fraud device to all of its online banking customers.

**garrett200** · 05-21-2007, 09:12 PM

ok, so now we've got Bank of America, Barclays, and Deutche Bank, among others.....

Looks like Google and MSN may be testing the waters.....

After this recent slump we've had, looks as if things may be looking up.

The recent sales slump and doubts about mtld. The past month or so there has been a lot of negativity going around and those nagging, unknown answers to our questions about how things are progressing.

I'm sure I don't need to spell it out for you. You're here everyday, you know the drill.

Honestly, sales have moved out of the public eye. As for the negativity, I guess you're referring to the drumbeat from a few skeptics? That noise for me is drowned out by the ever increasing hits and clicks on my .mobi names. People have to choose what to listen to. The future's so bright, I've got to wear shades

If that RFP info is announced inside of the next 2 weeks and they put the names in genuine developers hands, I'll need to get some decent shades as well

You've just got to admit, it's an interesting rollercoaster ride!

Yes, it is. The most interesting part is seeing the big dogs getting their .mobi's online.

Some people in here are going to have cash cows very soon.

Nice find! .Mobi is getting harder for them to ignore.

Some banks (such as my bank, A&L) are introducing Mobile banking through a mobile application rather than a browser.
