Technology Credit Union Launches Mobile Banking Service

SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - September 21, 2007) - Technology Credit Union (Tech CU) announced today the launch of its Mobile Banking service, giving members unprecedented access to their accounts and other important banking information anywhere, anytime via their web-enabled mobile phone or wireless device. With the new service, members can use many of the same features that are available through Tech CU Online Banking, including accessing account summaries, making internal transfers, viewing and paying bills and communicating via email with the credit union. Tech CU Mobile Banking uses the industry's most stringent authentication, data encryption and transfer protocol, so members can be rest assured that while they are using the mobile service, their account information is protected and secure.

"We're committed to using technology to make our members' banking experience as easy and convenient as possible, but security is always our number one priority," said Victor Smilgys, Assistant VP of eCommerce at Tech CU. "For the Mobile Banking platform, we've implemented three different layers of protection, using the highest level of wireless security available to ensure our members' identities and account information are safe."

Tech CU Mobile Banking uses Wireless Transport Layer Security (WTLS) protocol, which provides strict authentication, data integrity and privacy protection mechanisms that protect data communication from attack during transmission. In addition, all data is encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL), and members log on to Mobile Banking using the same Two-Factor, Two-Way Authentication process that is required for Online Banking. If members access Mobile Banking on a device that is not registered with the service, they will be presented with their Online Banking challenge question. Members can also verify they are logging on to Tech CU legitimately by a unique Online Banking security image and welcome phrase that they choose when they register for Online Banking that is then presented by the system each time they log in.

To access Mobile Banking, members simply enter the Tech CU Mobile URL, go.techcu.com, into the browser of their Internet-enabled wireless device. Once logged on to their account through the Two-Factor, Two-Way Authentication process, they can begin using all of the features of Mobile Banking. Here's how Tech CU's Mobile Banking compares with mobile offerings from other financial institutions:
