Bank of America to introduce m-banking

by Brian White, posted Feb 15th 2007 at 6:45PM

Are you one of those early adopters (of course you are, 'cause we are too) that wants to take care of your banking over your beloved cellphone? Well, the largest bank in the good ol' USA -- Bank of America -- is about to roll out a mobile banking service to all of its 21 million online banking customers pretty soon according to reports. From the wires, "Subscribers to the free service will be able to use their cell phones and smartphones when they're on-the-go to check account balances, pay bills and transfer money." Sweet -- so whip out that WM5 (or WM6) phone or standard wireless handset and get those bills paid -- although the PR mentions just four carriers -- Verizon Wireless, Sprint-Nextel, ~~Cingular~~ AT&T and T-Mobile. We knew it would be hard to let the Cingular brand go, and Bank of America is with us. Will this service compete with Cingular / Citi's offering, though? Of course.

Direct your device to http://www.bofa.mobi for the Sign-In and information page. Though, you have to enable the service through Online Banking before you can access the mobile site. Two reps from BofA Online Support said the service will be available in April. They also mentioned it is already available in some areas.

Bank of America is giving credit cards to illegal aliens with no credit history and no Social Security number. Close your account and join the boycott. Visit the site and learn about banks that are not doing business with illegal aliens. Don’t be the last American with money in that bank.

The boycott website is set up at
http://www.bankofamericaboycott.com

The man organizing the boycott is William Gheen and his website is at http://www.alipac.us

JOIN THE BOYCOTT !

Mexican banks refuse to accept Mexican Matricula Consular Card as a valid form of ID but Bank of America will.

Highly Ranked
