Wells Fargo banking app available on Amazon

Market Watch writes.

Wells Fargo & Company announced last week that its new Wells Fargo Mobile banking app for Android is available for download from the Amazon Appstore for Android.

"Our goal is to provide services that are relevant to our customers, and Wells Fargo customers are enthusiastic about anytime, anywhere mobile banking," said Brian Pearce, senior VP and head of the Retail Mobile Channel at Wells Fargo's Internet Services Group. "We are excited about the benefits mobile banking offers consumers, from better day-to-day money management to greater peace of mind."

Wells Fargo has more than seven million active consumer and small business customers using Wells Fargo Mobile - the fastest growing delivery channel at Wells Fargo, Business Wire reports.

Wells Fargo offers three easy mobile banking services including mobile web (wf.com), apps and text (to short-code 93557, which spells 'Wells' on traditional telephone keypads). The services are free from Wells Fargo; however, mobile carrier text messaging and Web access charges may apply.

Wells Fargo's mobile banking services use the same security standards as Wells Fargo Online, including ongoing efforts to protect customers' information and privacy, since Wells Fargo launched Internet account access in May 1995, as well as accumulated knowledge in security, safety and fraud prevention. Wells Fargo Mobile banking and text banking are covered by Wells Fargo's Online Security Guarantee.

Besides Amazon, Wells Fargo mobile banking apps are available through the Android Market, the Apple App Store, BlackBerry App World and HP App Catalogue, BTN notes.
