Australia's Commonwealth Bank launches tablet-only banking app

The app features a refreshed visual display intended to give customers a better view of their finances.

Australia-based Commonwealth Bank Friday introduced a new mobile banking app for tablet users, according to a press release. 

Pete Steel, CIO for retail and wealth at CommBank, said in a statement that the new tablet app, released initially for Android with iOS to follow, has a refreshed visual display that will give customers a better view of their finances. 

"We know our customers use a mix of devices to meet different banking needs and we are committed to providing the best user experience across all of our platforms," he said. "Tablet banking continues to grow in popularity and we wanted to update our existing tablet app with a brand new design to meet the changing needs of our customers."

The latest app includes Portfolio View, a new feature that lets customers view their financial position in an easy, integrated banking and wealth experience, according to the announcement

"While smartwatch and smartphone devices provide a transactional view of accounts and balances on-the-go, with Portfolio View customers can get a more visual perspective of all their finances in one place, at one time," Steel said. 

The iOS version of the CommBank app for tablet is currently being piloted ahead of release.
