The apps, developed for Standard Chartered Bank’s Breeze brand, are powered by Monitise’s Globe mobile banking technology platform.
According to Monitise, its new application will allow users to: view bank and credit card accounts; transfer funds to other banks in India; pay utility bills; locate the nearest Standard Chartered Bank’s branch/ATM using an ATM Locator; choose a cinema, locate seats and purchase their tickets, as well as find, book and pay for airline tickets, all through Breeze.
The new Monitise application is compatible with more than 700 handsets, from rich mobile experiences on Blackberry and iPhone to the most basic devices.
Monitise chief executive Alastair Lukies said today’s launch marks the company’s first rollout of mobile banking, payments and commerce in India.
"Innovation is at the heart of both the fast-growing mobile banking market in India and our open and collaborative approach to the mobile money ecosystem globally. This launch shows how our tried and tested technology enables banks to extend beyond their traditional range of services into mobile commerce," Lukies said.
