Banking with mobility

-

IN OUR fast-paced world, many people have become accustomed to immediate results for most everyday activities. Nowadays, if we want to have a hearty meal, we can order it online. We no longer wait weeks for a response from a letter because email and instant messaging facilitate­s quick and effortless conversati­ons. If we want to find the answer to anything, we check Google.

Banking is no different. It, too, has been modified, thanks to the Internet and rapidly changing technology. Now, standing in a bank line is the least effective way to get your business done when you have the ability to perform regular transactio­ns without ever leaving your home, or by simply using your mobile phone. Thanks to technology, banking has been made easy and efficient for busy customers and has revolution­ised the entire industry.

BANKING ON THE GO

Let’s say that you are on the road and you need to check your banking informatio­n quickly. If you don’t have the time to go to a branch, your computer is at home, and it’s not possible to use your laptop, you can still be instantly connected to your account with an Internet-enabled phone.

MOBILE TRANSACTIO­NS

With Scotia Mobile Banking, you can view your personal account balances, check the five most recent transactio­ns on your deposit accounts, transfer funds between your own Scotia accounts, and pay your bills. Business accounts are not accessible via your mobile phone at this time.

SECURED MOBILITY

Rest assured that Scotia Mobile Banking is very secure, as it is backed by our Online Security Guarantee. This states that you will be reimbursed in the event that you suffer direct financial losses due to unauthoris­ed activity on your accounts through our online financial services. If you lose your phone, ask your carrier to disable it, and also reset your password at Scotia Online.

HOW TO GET MOBILE

If your smartphone is equipped with a data plan for Internet usage, you will be able to use Scotia Mobile Banking. Once you have been registered with Scotia Online, you can go to scotiamobi­le.com, or download our free Scotia Mobile app, designed for iPhone and Blackberry devices, to start banking with mobility.
