USAA Bank Releases iPad App

Online bank USAA once again stays on the leading edge by releasing a new iPad application. While USAA is not the first bank by any means to come out with an iPad app they add another mobile application to their mobile line up which includes iPhone, Android, Blackberry, Windows Phone and non smart phones.

The iPad app is full featured providing a very complete set of bank functions, transfers and bill payment in a ver attractive, easy to use interface. Add the amazing form function of the iPad and you have a great experience. They also provide information on auto, home, retirement and financial management, insurance,  investments and a complete list of contact us information. It was somewhat disappointing I must say however that after some basic information the learn more just pops you out to Safari.

As with their iPhone app USAA also supports the Quick Logon feature that allows a secure and fast login.

As you may know USAA was one of the first banks to roll out mobile remote deposit capture. So it will be interesting to see if they support remote deposit when the next generation iPad is released containing a built in camera. Since the next iPad will also have a front and rear camera and will support face time will USAA be the first to provide face time customer support? That would be impressive.

One thing is clear, USAA gets how important mobile banking is becoming to banks in the US. USAA is high on my list of very good online banks.
