Regions Financial Corp. has updated its mobile banking capabilities to allow customers to transfer funds among internal accounts, pay bills and receive text alerts about balances and other details.
The Birmingham, Ala., banking company said Wednesday that its online banking customers can use text banking as well as visit its mobile website, m.regions.com, or download an application for Apple Inc.'s iPhone.
"Our new offering provides mobile banking access to anyone with text messaging or Internet capability on their mobile device, giving Regions customers the ability to manage their banking needs from anywhere at any time," Stephen Lamar, the head of mobile banking at Regions, said in a press release.
In addition to transferring funds between Regions accounts and scheduling bill payments, customers can also check balances and view up to 10 days' worth of transaction history, locate branches and automated teller machines through text commands or GPS, receive text alerts about low funds and transactions and perform transactions by sending texts.
