Today the Wireless division of AT&T announced that they will be working with BankcorpSoith,Regions Financial, SunTrust Banks, and Wachovia to provide a secure mobile banking platform and service to its subscribers.
Once the service launches, users will be able to pay bills, and manage their accounts from an embedded application on their phone. The software will be provided by Firethorn and will be pre-loaded into mobile phones as early as the second half of 2007. The free service will be offered as a trial test that will last a year. The service may be offered on a more large scale once the test completes, this will coincide with a massive AT&T Mobile banking campaign later this year that is planned.
