[May 25, 2012] U.S. Bank Introduces Banking App for iPad Tweet May 25, 2012 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- U.S. Bank announced it has released a new banking application that is designed specifically for iPad users. "The new U.S. Bank app for iPad comes with all of the mobile banking features that customers have come to appreciate, with the enhanced benefit of being optimized for the tablet's larger screen," said Niti Badarinath, senior vice president and head of mobile banking at U.S. Bank. "For example, when searching for the nearest branch, customers can now see a map side by side with text that lists hours and a phone number." According to a release, customers can deposit checks using the iPad's camera, just as they can in the iPhone and Android apps, in addition to making person-to-person payments, viewing account balances and transactions, paying bills, making payments to other U.S. Bank accounts such as their mortgage and car loans, and reviewing rewards information. The iPad app was created in partnership with Fiserv using its Mobiliti platform. "This is a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to provide new and innovative ways for our customers to access and manage their finances at U.S. Bank," Badarinath said. This spring, the company said, it also introduced a pilot of Find US+, an app designed to overlay street view branch and ATM information using the iPhone's camera feature. It also provided readers of the U.S. Bancorp Annual Report and U.S. Bancorp Corporate Citizenship Report with enhanced content, such as video or additional information, accessed by scanning the photo with their iPhone using the Digimarc app. U.S. Bancorp, with $341 billion in assets as of March 31, is the parent company of U.S. Bank.
