Customers at the Trust Bank Limited will now be able to check all their financial transactions on their mobile phones.
The new service includes viewing account balances, receiving details of the last five transactions, transferring funds from account to account, viewing up-to-date foreign exchange rates, and topping up mobile phone credit.
Mr Dodou Nyang, marketing manager of Trust Bank, also informed the Daily Observer that customers will also be able to pay off their utility bills through their mobile phones in a month or so.
Mr Nyang told the Daily Observer: "Security and confidentiality are paramount in the whole project from day one. We guarantee security totally for our clients."
Customers will be given a four-digit number which they will be free to change at any time.
Mr Nyang also told the Point: "It will change the way you relate to your bank through your mobile phone," adding that this service would impact more on the lives of the people than any other banking product in recent times.
