HSBC has launched the first UK business banking service
optimised for Blackberry users.
HSBC Commercial Banking says the new service enables HSBC
business internet banking customers to monitor their transactions
via a new free service optimised for the screens of their
BlackBerry 8000 series devices.
HSBC’s business internet banking service has almost 300,000 UK
users. Those with BlackBerries will be able to access real-time
balances and transactions for the last seven days on HSBC sterling
accounts, and balances on foreign currency accounts.
They will also have access to balances on business and
commercial credit cards, along with seven days worth of
transactions for each cardholder.
Noel Quinn, UK head of commercial banking at HSBC, said, “We
understand that our business customers need to be able to manage
their money on the go, and we aim to provide them with the best
technology to make this possible."
The new service is accessed from www.m.hsbc.co.uk
using the same username and password as the regular HSBC internet
banking service.

The service uses IBM WebSphere Everyplace Mobile Portal Enable
software, which enables content to be delivered to mobile
devices.
It uses component policies to associate the appropriate version
of a digital asset – such as an image – to the target device.
