USAA Delivers First iPad App Providing Access to Banking, Insurance, Investments and Advice
SAN ANTONIO - (BUSINESS WIRE) - USAA, a financial services provider focused on serving the military and
their families, has released the industry's first tablet application
allowing members to manage their banking, insurance, and investment
accounts. Members can manage their financial accounts and consume
helpful financial advice, all in one place.
With the USAA App for iPad, USAA members can manage a wide range
of financial transactions such as paying bills, transferring funds,
placing trades, getting real-time stock quotes and viewing their
insurance policies. Members can also add or replace a car on their
policy and request an auto insurance ID card. In addition the app
delivers free financial advice in the form of stories and videos
customized for an optimal iPad experience.
"Innovation at USAA means making life easier for our members and helping
them achieve financial freedom," said USAA President and CEO Joe Robles.
"We sought to provide an outstanding user experience - functionality and
robust content to help our members manage their finances anytime and
anywhere."
"The USAA App for iPad is different from the USAA iPhone App," added
Robles. "We rethought and rebuilt the interactions and experiences from
the ground up, specifically for the iPad and specifically for our
members."
The USAA App for iPad is the latest in USAA's industry-first innovations
including Deposit@Mobile which enables qualified bank customers to
deposit checks from their mobile device, and Deposit@Home, where they
can deposit checks from a home scanner.
USAA members, the men and women of the U.S. military and their families,
are early adopters of mobile technology. In fact, eight out of 10 USAA's
member interactions are through online channels. The USAA App for iPad
is one more way USAA members can manage their personal financial
accounts.
The USAA App for iPad is free to download. For more information on the
USAA App for iPad, go to USAA.com/ipad.
In the first three days, the USAA App for iPad has more than 12,000
downloads, has a five-star rating, and is the number one financial app
in the Apple App Store.
