Smartphone software specialist eLeader has unveiled a mobile banking solution that it says enables banks to offer rich and highly usable mobile retail banking services to a wide range of devices. The company says the solution, eLeader.MobileBanking 4G, advances the state of the art in the mobile banking field through an unparalleled user experience, coupled with solid security and a rich feature set.
eLeader has taken a comprehensive approach to device support, developing native, fully tailored versions for Symbian OS (S60, UIQ), Windows Mobile (Standard and Professional), Nokia Series 40 and RIM Blackberry, along with a Java version for feature phones based on other platforms. A native iPhone version is due soon.
The company notes that tailoring to each major platform allows for vastly improved usability and advanced features, adding that the solution is compatible with over 95% of phones currently available on the market.
A C-level Executive of a large European bank, which is currently implementing eLeaders m-banking solution, says:
The challenge for banks is to deploy mobile banking services in a way thats relevant to customers needs and habits, and that they will actually want to use. Being tightly integrated with each device platform means that eLeaders application is instantly familiar and intuitive. Theres no learning curve, because it behaves exactly like the phones built in applications. It really is a pleasure to use compared to existing mobile banking offerings, and even PC based banking. 
eLeader.MobileBanking 4G provides a highly secure platform for mobile banking services, offering multi-factor authentication, strong 128bit encryption during transmission, and resistance to phishing attacks that have plagued traditional online banking services. The solution is fully customisable to banks requirements and brand image, is network-operator independent, and easily deployed. The solution is
readily localizable to regional cultures, and is already available in over 10 languages.
