The Commonwealth Bank has released its NetBank mobile banking app for Android smartphones to customers. The bank launched its iPhone mobile banking platform two years ago and has ported the application to the Android platform. The app includes the usual smartphone features — customised screen sizes, resolution and processing times — with the addition of a ‘remember client’ feature to help speed up the logon process. The popularity of NetBank mobile banking has grown significantly since the iPhone mobile banking launch, the Commonwealth Bank executive general manager for direct channels, Quentin Boyes, said.
