Offering personal as well as convenient banking experience to users, the new Tangerine Mobile Banking Apple Watch app will facilitate access to personal banking information including account balances, recent transactions and transaction details.
Tangerine president and CEO Peter Aceto said: "We’re excited to be one of the first apps available on Apple Watch as we continue to deliver simple and innovative solutions that allow our clients to bank on their own terms.
"This continuous innovation is what reinforces Tangerine’s position as a forward thinking bank and sets us apart when it comes to delivering the future of banking to Canadians."
Clients will be able to see the most recent account transaction at any time and can also set account (balance over/balance under) and transaction thresholds (transaction amount below/transaction amount above).
The app will offer convenient notifications, whch can be dismissed or accessed to get more details pertaining to the transaction.
