Japan's eBank has chosen software from San Jose-based Everypath to provide mobile banking services to customers over WAP phones using KDDI, NTT DoCoMo's iMode, and J-Phone's J-Sky protocols.
eBank plans to provide its customers with the opportunity to transfer funds, check their account balances and loan applications, as well as access other services via their cell phones.
"In Japan, mobile service is critical for financial institutions," says Takateru Kawano, vice president of the strategic business division of eBank. "People transfer funds, check their account balances and loan applications, as well as access other services via cell phones in this advanced-mobile market. A wireless strategy is one of our priorities."
