HOUSTON, June 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- BBVA Compass
just made becoming a customer easier with the latest release of its
award-winning mobile banking app.
The app, which was named Best Mobile App by Money® magazine in
2015 and awarded Javelin Strategy & Research's Mobile Banking
Leader in Functionality Award three times in as many years, has set
the standard again with version 5.0. Headlining the features of the
latest release is the ability for customers and non-customers alike
to download the app, apply for an account directly from the home
screen, and when the account is set up, use mobile enrollment to
immediately start using mobile banking.
According to BBVA Compass Head of Mobile and Online Channels
Alex Carriles, it's that functionality that puts this version of
the bank's mobile app in a class of its own.
"We've seen an evolution in digital banking, where the number of
digitally savvy, mobile-only customers is rising," Carriles said.
"For this customer, their mobile device is their relationship
platform with the bank, which is why giving them the ability to
originate accounts directly from the app – and then start
immediately using it - is so important."
With BBVA Compass Mobile Banking 5.0, a potential customer only
needs to download the app, open a checking, savings or money market
account, and they can then start immediately using mobile
banking.
With one tap of the app's lead banner 'Become a customer today,'
interested applicants are shown the different products available,
and can apply for the various deposit accounts, with the potential
of becoming a bank customer and mobile app user in minutes, having
never stepped in a branch.
"Smartphone adoption continues to grow, and with it comes
customers who expect their mobile device to do it all," Carriles
said. "When it comes to banking, their expectation is access to the
full bank on their terms – anytime, anywhere. With mobile account
origination at their fingertips, we're delivering it to them in a
way many aren't."
Other enhancements to BBVA Compass Mobile Banking 5.0
include:
- New, more intuitive mobile deposit experience with updated
features that include one flow for single or multiple check
deposits with an improved user experience and the ability to export
confirmation screen via email or text as a PDF.
- The ability to select from various payment options for BBVA
Compass mortgages, loans and lines of credit. Depending on product
selected, customers may be able to select options including Regular
Payment, Additional Principal, Additional Escrow or Past Due
Payment.
