PenFed Launches Bold Mobile App Redesign

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- PenFed (Pentagon Federal Credit Union) today announced the much anticipated rollout of its newly enhanced PenFed Mobile app. The latest version is now available for download for iOS and Android devices, includes faster and easier navigation, features mobile check deposit, and other new functionality. The app allows PenFed members to conduct many of the same financial transactions using their mobile devices as they are able to do through PenFed's web-based online banking service.

"This redesign is huge for both PenFed and our membership, because it really enhances our ability to better serve our members in a more robust way," said Ian Harper, chief information officer of information technology at PenFed. "One of the new features of the app is mobile deposit. Within a day of its public release, we saw four times the amount of deposits through the app versus what we usually see in our web-based deposit service."

Wherever you go, take PenFed with you.

Already highly rated in Apple and Google Play App stores, the fresh redesign is now better than ever allowing PenFed members to:

• Deposit checks
• Check balances and account transaction details
• Check the status of loan or credit card applications
• Make payments to a PenFed loan, mortgage, or credit card account
• Transfer funds or schedule recurring transfers between PenFed accounts, or accounts at other financial institutions
• Create travel notification alerts for all PenFed credit and debit card accounts

"We cannot say enough how excited we are to bring these enhanced mobile services to our membership," said Steve Troxel, vice president of marketing at PenFed. "Mobile devices are clearly changing the face of how a growing number of people prefer to conduct their day-to-day financial business. Since it has always been PenFed's primary mission to provide quality products and services to our membership, any investment we dedicate to mobile banking is a key component to taking that commitment to the next level."
