BB&T introduces free downloadable iPad App
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., Jan. 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- BB&T has launched a free iPad application that allows more convenient banking access to its on-the-go clients. The BB&T iPad App is one of the first of its kind in the United States that's not just a high definition version of mobile banking. It is now available for download on the iTunes App Store.
"The iPad App leverages the unique features of the iPad to give clients a faster, more convenient way to manage their accounts and access our online services in an always-connected environment," said Sumit Deshpande, BB&T Online Channel group manager, mobile and messaging services.
The app allows clients to:
-- Access BB&T OnLine Banking - check account balances, transfer funds, pay
bills, sign up for paperless statements and account alerts.
-- Open new accounts - apply for checking and savings accounts, home equity
loans and more. In minutes, clients can add accounts to their shopping
cart, get an instant decision and fund accounts online.
-- Find BB&T locations - locate the nearest BB&T financial center or ATM
using GPS (Global Positioning System) technology.
-- Learn and plan - access an online library of financial education
information and interactive calculators.
Clients who access their accounts through the iPad App can rest assured that their personal information is secure. BB&T guards clients' accounts with 128-bit encryption technology, multiple firewalls to shield the network and logon security measures with automatic inactivity logoff.
