NOVATO, CA--(Marketwire - December 3, 2009) - ClairMail,
Inc., the leader in mobile banking and payment solutions, today
announced that it was named by Bank Technology News as one of The Top 10 Companies
and Technologies of 2009. The prestigious ranking was part of the
publication's 8th Annual Innovator Awards, which were announced in the
December issue of Bank
Technology News.
Distinguished from thousands of other companies and technologies that
provide vanguard products and services to the financial services industry,
ClairMail was selected by Bank Technology News as an innovator for how the
ClairMail solution has "pioneered the mobile banking triple play by
offering messaging, mobile web and client applications on an integrated
platform," through its unique Smart Client technology.
"This is a tremendous distinction and we are extremely proud to be
recognized by BTN for our efforts to provide financial institution
customers with comprehensive and integrated mobile banking services that
enable banks to achieve very aggressive adoption goals," said Pete
Daffern, CEO of ClairMail. "While some other companies claim to offer
mobile banking across their versions of the triple play, ClairMail is the
only company that provides a streamlined and integrated user experience
across all mobile communication channels on a single, intuitive interface."
"Mobile banking is evolving rapidly into a distinct channel that will rival
online banking as an essential means for consumers to bank," said Mark
Schwanhausser, senior analyst in charge of multichannel financial services
for Javelin Strategy &
Research. "For it to take flight, though, financial institutions must
build a platform and work with vendors that provide access to all consumers
with a powerful combination of browser, SMS text alerts and applications.
It must further demonstrate its value with money-movement capabilities
integrated with alerts and personal finance management tools, and assure
customers that mobile banking is safe and secure."
The ClairMail mobile banking solution processes millions of transactions
per month for its customers across retail banks, credit unions and card
service companies, and has experienced accelerating growth over the past
year. ClairMail provides consumers with easy access to their accounts via
multiple modes, including SMS, mobile web and client application, on
virtually any mobile device. Consumers can perform a variety of activities
including check account balances, transfer funds and view transaction
history. They can also sign up to receive personalized alerts proactively
delivered by the bank and define their preferences for alert triggers
(low-balance thresholds or event occurrences that activate alerts) and
frequency.
