Citi Mobile Appears Ready to Go Live in February

By Jim Bruene on January 28, 2007 3:50 PM | Comments (0)

I opened my Citibank checking account statement today and out fell one of those text-only "terms and conditions" notices that are rarely read. However, the title of this one caught my attention (emphasis added):

Important Information: Introducing Citi Mobile

It's an update to the bank's terms and conditions incorporating access via web-enabled cellphone or other mobile device. The statement was mailed January 23rd and the notice carried a 2006 copyright with an "01/07" date by the item number.

There's no mention of any fees for the service, which begins in February 2007, according to the statement insert. Readers are referred to the Citibank website for a list of compatible phones, but we couldn't find anything on Citi Mobile today.

In a Google search we ran across an older Citi Wireless Services website <wireless.citi.com/wireless/homepage> with a 2001 copyright date (see screenshot below), but it discusses the previously available services such as alerts sent to mobile phones. There is no mention of the new mFoundry-powered services (see previous coverage here).
