Chase releases iPad app
(12 May 2010 – USA) Chase Bank has become the first US bank to release a banking application on Apple’s new iPad tablet computer.
Following the success of banking applications on Apple’s iPhone, JP Morgan subsidiary, Chase Bank has released an iPad banking application that allows users to access balances, pay bills, send wire transfers and know the location of the nearest ATM and branch.
However customers don’t seem to be overly impressed with the new application with many commenting on the Apple preview site; one saying that ‘simply stretching the resolution of an app so that it fills the iPad screen is NOT ‘optimizing’... How about using the larger real estate to make views more usable?’
Chase spokesman Thomas Kelly said Chase will continue to upgrade its iPad app in the future.
The online bank knew customers would be interested in iPad, and wanted to make an app available as quickly as possible, Mr Kelly said in an e-mail; adding that the bank worked quickly to get it done.
