NCR Corporation announced today it has launched NCR APTRA Mobile Banking 3.0, a global mobile banking platform intended to let banks offer customers banking services through mobile apps, mobile browser or SMS.

NCR said its solution provides features consumers need to manage their money through their mobile devices and gives banks the ability to scale and integrate mobile with other online, kiosk, ATM and teller banking channels.

"Smart phone growth and financial inclusion are driving mobile banking adoption on a global scale," said Michael O'Laughlin, senior vice president of NCR Financial Services, in an statement. "Our new mobile banking solution gives financial institutions a flexible and secure way to meet the immediate mobile banking needs of their customers."

According to the company's release, NCR's new mobile banking platform gives FIs a quick, easy way to set up a range of mobile banking services, such as account balances checks, transaction history, money transfer between accounts, bills payment, and branches and ATM location.

"As mobile devices become more central to how people manage their finances, mobile banking will need to evolve to deliver new services that leverage the advantages of the channel and integrate seamlessly with other self-service channels," O'Laughlin said.

NCR said its APTRA Mobile Banking product will serve as the core mobile solution for current NCR customers as they integrate mobile channels, giving those clients an integrated multi-channel solution.

Additionally, customization of the platform is available through NCR's Global Professional Services, the company said.
