WAYNE, Pa., April 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Penn Liberty Bank announced today that their Mobile Banking application for Android smart phones is now available.  This new application adds to the iPhone mobile banking application that has been available since 2011.

Penn Liberty Bank is one of the first community banks in Southeastern Pennsylvania to offer the Android mobile banking service in collaboration with their electronic banking partner, Q2ebanking, to deliver the service.
