Normally, we Americans see the latest and greatest before the technology moves northward. Occasionally though, Canada will get the jump on us. ING Direct Canada has just released an app for the Canadian Android Market.
TORONTO, Sept. 22 /CNW/ – ING DIRECT enhanced its mobile banking suite with the launch of its free AndroidTM App, once again simplifying and easing saving for Canadians anywhere, anytime. Canada’s leading direct bank was the first in the country to offer a BlackBerry App while simultaneously launching its iPhone App and mobile website m.ingdirect.ca, and enhanced its iPhone App to support the iPad this past June.
The ING DIRECT Android App allows Canadians to bank from their Android devices. This includes locating EXCHANGE Network® ABMs which were announced last month as part of the company’s new THRIVE ChequingTM Account, checking their account balances, reviewing transactions, transferring funds, buying and selling The Streetwise Funds®, and getting directions and hours of operation for the ING DIRECT Save Your Money Cafés. The platform also allows Canadians to connect with ING DIRECT on Twitter to talk about saving.
Talking about saving money is great, but you know what’s better? Actually saving money, which is pretty important when gas alone costs around $4.00 a gallon. I’ve contacted ING USA to see if they have a similar app in the works; if I find out more I’ll share the information.
