SCB Pakistan Launches Breeze - A Mobile App

Standard Chartered Bank, one of the leading private bank in Pakistan launches Breeze Mobile - A mobile app & Wap for mobile users. By this service SCB existing customers with Internet Banking account can access the account, perform fund transfer, buy mobile top up etc.
If you own an iphone than you can download it from App Store, for all phone users, they can access it by visiting to http://m.sc.com/pk.

By all means this is not a mobile banking, which other banks like Faysal Bank, MCB are offering in Pakistan.  In which your mobile banking account is separate from internet banking & it requires customer to call help line to activate it. But this is different, you just need to download the app & login with your internet banking account credentials.

There is not much information on how secure this mobile app is. I think we should leave it for time to decide. For now if you are SCB Pakistan internet banking user, you should definitely give it a try.
