Smart Phone Apps for banking definitely makes it easer to move money/check balances/pay bills. Was on holiday earlier this month, logged on to the hotel wifi and was able to pay something I had forgotten about. Not sure why all banks are not offering apps, was in Gogle playstore looking to add banking app for my savings account bank and they are still to offer this to customers! Lets hope they catch up quick!
