For the uninitiated, this is a new post for you, especially if you are interested to do mobile banking via your iPhone.

OCBC Singapore actually has developed an Apple iPhone app quite some time back, which allows you to conduct Internet banking activities using your iPhone. Just search for it in the App Store and you should be able to find the free app. You can check your account balance, do funds transfer etc via this app.

If you are a Citibank customer, you may also be pleased to know that if you surf to www.citibank.com.sg, an mobile version for the Citibank web site will be displayed on your iPhone, allowing you to perform your mobile banking transactions too.

Recently DBS bank also improved on their DBS Internet banking web site allowing iPhone users to authenticate themselves on the existing bank secured site and gain access to customers’ own bank accounts. Previously, there was an issue doing so because of some problems loading some Java components on the iPhone.

I am a customer of these 3 local Singapore banks and I am very glad to know that these local banks are recognising that many consumers will want access to their banking accounts on their mobile devices, and that they are adapting their systems to meet our needs. It is so much convenient for me when I can gain access to my banking accounts without having to find a computer. It is just like having the bank with me. Cool stuff.

I did not have the chance to test out the other local banks’ systems to see if they are compatible with the iPhones. I am pretty sure it is a matter of time before they will.
