Bank of America iPhone interface

termleech · 11-20-2007, 09:15 AM

Anyone else noticed that Bank of America is working on an iPhone interface? I've been using their mobile banking since they debuted it and the other day I went to it and the front page was a nice shiny iPhone interface. The rest of the site isn't yet, but it looks like they are working on it. It once again makes me love Bank of America for being so innovative (I mean their new ATM's just blow everything away).

Anyone else seen some good new iPhone interfaces?

I saw it last night. I just thought it was a new start page. I should check my wife's Treo tonight and see if it is the same.

If you look at it, it's looks like it's an iPhone interface. It uses the same widgets that Apple gives you for the iPhone web interface. But I could be wrong. I'd be interested in seeing what you find out. It definitely is nice to be able to use the features like find an ATM or bank with it.

Ok, I almost just wet myself. If you use their site from the iPhone and search for banking locations, you can click get directions and it definitely pops open Google Maps on the iPhone for you. I almost cried (I know, I'm easily amused). The iPhone makes like so nice

Finally. That BOA mobile site was getting lame (yet it's fast).

I also noticed that on the main page (before logging in) you can choose
Online Banking Access which takes you to the main BOA site (not the mobile version). I will definitely be using this as there are certain things that can't be done on the mobile version.

On a related but unrelated note I find BOA's Website, the full version, to be slow (on my PCs). Don't have that problem with Chase, Amex, or Citi.

I LOVE THIS TOO! it is so awesome when i'm like "hey text me ____'s number" and when they text me it, i can use that little arrow to make a direct contact! or in this case, with the address!

it just seems so cool when you're on yellowpages.com and click the number and it dials

bofa.mobi will redirect you to the iPhone interface if you are using an iPhone. It's a lot easier to type.

I think about 5 threads have been put up today, each about a site putting up an iPhone formatted site.
