Microsoft has launched a mobile banking service in conjunction with M-Com, an “international mobile banking and payments solution provider” based in Atlanta. The resulting application, M-Com BankAnywhere, will use a number of Microsoft technologies, including Windows, SQL Server and Internet Information Services. The M-Com BankAnywhere application, for which a release date has not been announced, will allow electronic payments via a mobile device. We don’t know if this will be a exclusive service to Windows Mobile, we are expecting it not be so. What do you think ?
Bangkok Bank and KeyBank both uses a mobile financial services solution that leverages the M-Com BankAnywhere platform. The institutions chose Mobile Money from Fiserv Inc., which was launched in conjunction with M-Com in September 2008. Fiserv, a partner of Microsoft and M-Com, is the leading global provider of financial services technology solutions. M-Com BankAnywhere aims to provide mobile banking solution globally by using Microsoft technology. The use of standard Microsoft technology, including Windows and Microsoft SQL Server, as well as Internet Information Services (IIS), allows enterprise users of BankAnywhere to benefit from existing industry-standard technology management tools and practices.
M-Com BankAnywhere provides a complete end-to-end mobile payments solution for the banking industry worldwide. The comprehensive solution provides best-practice security and risk management capabilities, ensuring that banks can effectively manage the exposure of their brands and services in the emerging market for mobile technology. As a fully integrated solution, it reduces the total cost of ownership (TCO) for the mobile channel for banks.
