Kindle banking
The app, which Citi claims is the first to be built exclusively for the Kindle Fire, enables users to track, analyse and budget their finances on the move (view press release). Financial services include check balance, manage cash flow, pay bills, transfer funds and access rewards. Numerical data can be presented in the form of graphs and charts to facilitate in depth financial management, interpretation and analysis. Key features include an interactive chart to plan cash flow, an automatically generated spending chart and the ability to compare spending habits with general consumer data.
Citi is also enhancing its Citi Mobile app with Mobile Check Deposit and Citibank Popmoney. The mobile check deposit service allows users to cash-in checks remotely by taking photos of each side of the check and submitting them for verification through the app. Citibank Popmoney allows users to transfer funds to an online payee remotely through the Citi Mobile app.
