MEMPHIS, Tenn., Aug. 16, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Tennessee Bank, a subsidiary of First Horizon National Corp. (NYSE:FHN), is mobilizing to serve customers better with the launch of mobile banking. The bank now offers customers access to their accounts any time, any place through their mobile phones.
Mobile banking is easy, convenient, secure and free. Customers can choose the connection that works best for them – text, a mobile web browser or First Tennessee's downloadable app. Customers use the same ID and password as with online banking.
Mobile banking lets customers:
-
Check account balances
-
Transfer funds at any time
-
View recent transactions
-
Find the nearest First Tennessee ATM or financial center
Mobile banking puts power and convenience in the palm of a customer's hand. "First Tennessee focuses on being convenient for our clients," said Dan Marks, chief marketing officer for First Tennessee. "Mobile and text banking – on top of our longer branch hours and helpful bankers – makes it easier than ever for our clients to manage their money."
"Mobile banking is a visible example of how technology is changing the banking industry," said Bruce Livesay, First Horizon chief information officer. "It keeps customers connected with the right products and services at the right time."
Livesay notes that mobile capabilities have exploded since the first commercial text message was sent in 1992, and the revolution will continue. Future mobile banking capabilities include bill pay and remote deposit capture, in which you take a picture of a check and deposit it, all via phone. "This is just the beginning," Livesay says. "Eventually, your phone will become your wallet."
