In keeping with the fast-paced lifestyle of the region, MashreqMashreq Mobile Banking will provide customers secure and fully transactional access to their bank accounts through their mobile phones 24/7, from any GPRS / 3G / wireless (Wi-Fi) network, anywhere in the world.
Douglas Beckett, Head of Retail Banking at MashreqMashreq, comments, "Mobile banking is emerging as a key service for consumers who expect their bank to be available to them anytime, anywhere and globally. We are enabling 6 million users across the UAE who have mobile phones to connect with their bank account in a more convenient way than any of our competitors."
Used at the customers' convenience, Mobile Banking provides a secure, user-friendly solution to an emerging demand for managing and tracking finances around the clock. Services include full access to the details and transactions of personal bank accounts, as well as making Credit Card and utility bill payments and transferring funds instantly.
Signing up for MashreqMashreq Mobile Banking is simple and straightforward. All that is required is a MashreqMashreq account, access to online banking, and a mobile phone with an 'Etisalat' or 'du' subscription. Users will be able to register for the service through MashreqOnline by downloading the mobile banking application to their phones; the process is quick and easy to follow. Once installed, the customer is free to use the Mobile Banking service at their own convenience, completely free of charges from the bank. The only cost is the normal call cost by the network operators.
Mobile Banking reinforces MashreqMashreq's strategic approach of introducing innovative and convenient solutions for all its customers'. Earlier this year, MashreqMashreq launched the Etisalat-MashreqMashreq credit card, the region's first co-branded loyalty card that offers customers' free talk time for every Dirham spent. "This was a huge success for MashreqMashreq. We are extremely happy with the launch results which have significantly exceeded our expectations. We continue to build on the success of such products and services which position MashreqMashreq as clearly the most convenient bank in the UAE. We "do banking" allowing our customers to focus on the important things in their lives," concluded Beckett.
