LloydsTSB offer mobile banking

Lloyds have released a Java app for mobile phones that allows their customers real control over their bank accounts.

Customers can move money between accounts (say a current account and savings account), add credit cards, check balances, statements etc.

Though textual in nature (so it should work on most handsets) it's easy to use and does allow a customer access to basic account functions.

Assuming the customer has set most of their accounts on-line through traditional means (like on-line banking), the mobile client should then be able to access those accounts.

Hopefully all access from the client to the back-end services are secure (though there was no way to tell).

It's a lot easier to use than older WAP propositions.
