SouthCrest Bank releases new, enhanced mobile bank

ATLANTA, Feb. 13, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Responding to data showing a major increase in mobile banking by its customers, SouthCrest Bank (SCSG:PK) announces the launch of a new mobile banking application for smart phones.

The app, available for iPhone, Android and iPad platforms, provides a highly secure portal with a broad range of features. Optimized for a seamless, intuitive experience, the app allows users to check account balances, view transactions, deposit checks, transfer funds to external accounts, pay bills and more – all from the palm of their hand with fingerprint login available for compatible iPhone and iPad users.  

MOBILE BANKING BECOMING THE NORM

A 2016 Federal Reserve survey, released in March, found that 68% of millenials now use their smartphones for banking, with every other surveyed age group showing increasing use as well. Generation X and even the Baby Boom generation are embracing online and mobile banking in record numbers, studies show.

“Our statistics indicated that more and more of our customers are accessing our convenient mobile banking platform each month,” observed Doug Head, Senior Vice President with SouthCrest Bank.  “So, it is essential that we stay ahead of the curve in adding cutting-edge technology, such as this new app, that makes the banking experience easy, enjoyable and productive for customers of all ages.”
