Akbank’s
deputy CEO and chief retail banking executive Hakan Binbasgil,
was confident that the app would “transform money transfer habits
of customers”.
Akbank’s m-payment app supports Turkey’s big
mobile phone networks Turkcell, Vodafone and Avea and is compatible
with the iPhone, BlackBerry and the Android operating systems.
The service will soon be extended to Nokia’s
Symbian operating system and be available for download via text
message.
Money can be remitted to anybody, the bank
said, including to card holders of other banks and both parties
will receive notifications during the remittance process.
