President, Charles Schwab Bank, September 2012
“Clients now expect 24/7 access to their money, and they want
that access in a variety of ways. Our clients access their
accounts through branches, over the phone, online and on their
mobile devices. Clients access their banking and brokerage
accounts using their iPhone, iPad, or Android devices to review
all of their accounts in one place, pay bills, and deposit checks.
Mobile will remain an important focus as our clients’ needs and
the banking industry continues to evolve.”
