In addition to Wells Fargos existing mobile banking app, the three new Wells Fargo Mobile Banking apps are available via the Android Market on Android-powered devices, via the Palm App Catalog for Palm devices, and via a wf.com for BlackBerry smartphones.

Through Wells Fargos Mobile Banking applications, customers can access their current available account balances, transaction history and credit card payment information. Customers can also transfer funds to their other accounts or to other Wells Fargo customers and pay bills.

Wells Fargo Mobile Banking is integrated with each smartphones built in GPS (Global Positioning System) feature so customers can search for the nearest ATM or Wells Fargo banking store. In addition, customers can receive alerts on their mobile devices.

The bank has also expanded enrolment options for its text banking service, which enables customers to view account activity, view credit card payment information and find nearby ATM locations. Customers may receive an offer to enrol in Text Banking while using Wells Fargo ATMs. After confirming their mobile phone number or entering a new one on the ATM keypad, customers receive a welcome text message with instructions on how to use Text Banking. Once enrolled, customers send a text command to a short-code number to receive information on their current available balances or locate the nearest Wells Fargo ATM.
