Mobile Money from Fiserv Selected by SunTrust

Mobile banking services vendor, Fiserv has announced that USA based SunTrust Banks has selected its mobile money platform to provide their clients with broader access to mobile financial services. SunTrust will use Mobile Money to enable clients to access their accounts using SMS (text messaging) or mobile browser technology, complementing a separate downloadable application that is already available. Additionally, clients will be able to sign up for a variety of account alerts.

"The selection of Mobile Money from Fiserv is another step toward the fulfillment of our overall mobile financial services strategy," said Ginger Schmeltzer, senior vice president, SunTrust Bank. "It is important to offer each of our clients the ability to easily access their account regardless of the type of mobile device they use. We also want to enable clients to more proactively manage their accounts through customized account alerts. Mobile Money will allow us to deliver both robust access and a rich set of alerts."

The selection of Mobile Money represents an expansion of an existing relationship, as SunTrust already utilizes consumer online banking and bill payment solutions from Fiserv.

Available in a licensed or hosted version, Mobile Money combines banking and payments capabilities and includes functions such as balance inquiries, transaction history, account transfers, bill payments and one and two-way account alerts. Informational services such as an ATM and branch locator are also included. Mobile Money is a secure application that utilizes data encryption, along with additional risk management safeguards.

Mobile Money from Fiserv incorporates technology from Atlanta-based mobile banking and payments solution provider M-Com.
