Bank of America To Offer Net Banking Through Palm VII

Bank of America
plans to become the nation’s first financial institution to offer wireless
banking services to users of Palm Computing Inc.’s Palm VII handheld computer.


Palm VII users will have real-time access to their personal account
information through a connection to Bank of America’s Home Banking Web
site. They will be able to check balances and obtain detailed account
information using the device.


Michael DeVico, executive vice president of Bank of America’s interactive
banking division, said the service was a glimpse of what banking will be
like in the 21st Century.


“Consumers on the go will no longer have to depend on plug-in access to
quickly and easily obtain account information and do their banking. From
personal computers to broadband cable networks, wireless banking is yet
another example of Bank of America working to provide its customers with a
wide range of access channels to conduct their banking,” he said.


The deal was one of several announcements made Wednesday giving Palm users
the ability to access information through the connected organizers.
