GTL Enhances All Friends and Family Member Mobile Applications

RESTON, Va., Aug. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- GTL, the leading provider of correctional technology solutions and an innovator in payment services solutions for government, today announced the launch of improved payment apps for Android and iOS mobile devices. These improved apps follow last month's launch of GTL's improved website for friends and family members, ConnectNetwork, which has provided users with a better, faster, and easier online experience.

"GTL is proud to improve the mobile experience of inmate friends and family members with our new apps which are available at no cost to friends and family members. These new mobile apps complement the rich online experience found on ConnectNetwork.com with improved capabilities to complete frequent transactions like adding funds to prepaid accounts," said Steve Montanaro, Vice President of Consumer Channels at GTL. He added, "We've taken the same holistic approach for the new ConnectNetwork site and applied it to the new mobile apps, including a brand-new interface to make the user's mobile experience faster, more convenient and simple. At GTL, we're constantly looking for ways to improve our user's experience. We started by revamping our ConnectNetwork website and have now followed with these downloadable mobile apps, which are available to our users nationwide."

The mobile app provides users quick and intuitive access to ConnectNetwork's most popular deposit services coupled with self-management options, including creating a ConnectNetwork account, managing their account information, making deposits into accounts and setting up low balance text alerts. The mobile app provides ConnectNetwork's dashboard with the convenience of a mobile device, giving users the ability to make deposits for services like AdvancePay Phone (prepaid collect), Trust Fund and PIN debit (Inmate debit) while on the go.
