“We designed our mBanking product as an open solution that is bank and carrier friendly. It allows us to serve the full spectrum of banks and provide the end customer with the best possible user experience,” said Drew Sievers, mFoundry’s CEO and co-founder. “Large banks want to own the customer relationship and provide a consistent branded experience – our solution offers just that. To serve mid-size and smaller banks, we have fostered key partnerships to extend sales reach and to speed up the integration process. We firmly believe that financial institutions will see enormous demand for mobile customer solutions in the next few years. Our mBanking product allows banks to take the first step forward, and positions us as a leader in this emerging market.”

This release of the mBanking product focuses on downloadable applications; complementary support for SMS and WAP will follow in early 2007. New functionality will also be rapidly introduced such as brokerage support, pre-paid and stored value management, P2P payments and other advanced features. The mBanking product is available as an on-premise license or as an ASP–based product. For more information, please visit www.mfoundry.com.
