Barclaycard gets mobile management

Barclaycard has unveiled a mobile account management system for its UK customers, reports Computing.co.uk.

The service, which follows on the heels of the bank's Web site revamp after trials involving

20 000 customers, enables actions such as balance transfers, as well as direct debit and credit limit management.

Dubbed Mybarclaycard, the service features a simple, yet secure, log-in process. Other features include the ability to display spending details by category, which will help customers monitor spending patterns, while filtering and searching tools make it easier to trace and confirm transactions.

Shoeboxed has improved the way it handles digital receipts sent to its online filing system, states CNET News.

The company, which scans and hosts paper receipts, business cards and full-size documents, can now pick out specific information from forwarded e-mails containing purchase information, and put it into one of the system's 15 purchase classifications.

By sending a confirmation e-mail to a Shoeboxed address it will get filed along with the rest of the user's expenses. The goal is to make it easier for customers who are already using Shoeboxed's receipt scanning by mail service to blend in purchases they make online.

Wal-Mart has unveiled Wal-Mart Stores' Marketplace, a programme that allows third-party sellers to offer additional products to online customers, says InternetNews.

Walmart.com's new e-commerce service means nearly one million new items have been added to its inventory in categories including home, baby, apparel, toys and sporting goods and memorabilia, according to the company. Retailers participating in the new Walmart Marketplace include CSN Stores, eBags.com and Pro Team.

Walmart.com said it chose these specific retailers based on their strong customer service track records and large assortments of quality brands and products, and will continue to grow the Walmart Marketplace by adding more retailers over the next year.
