ANZ Bank launches iPhone to phone payments

A report in iTWire tells us that the ANZ Bank has officially launched its goMoney iPhone application which allows ANZ customers to monitor and manage their money, and send a payment to any mobile phone.

Demand for the iPhone application has surprised ANZ, with 31,000 downloads five days into the application’s soft launch on the iTunes App Store.

While most banks have mobile phone applications, ANZ is claiming the edge in terms of ease of use and speed. Once registered, iPhone users can access account details using a four digit pin. Once logged into the system they can view balances, manage accounts and make payments.

And the killer feature? Head over to iTWire for the details of the iPhone to any mobile phone payment/transfer system and the development of contactless payments technology which could provide additional functionality to the system in the future.
