I am getting a lot of questions through the blog and directly from customers about some wireless carriers and devices (think iPhone!) that are not currently supported by our mobile banking service.  Currently AT&T and Verizon are the primary carriers supported for our mobile banking product.  We have received many questions from you about Alltel, T-Mobile, US Cellular and Sprint.  We are also anxious to be able to provide mobile banking to the customers of these wireless carriers.
 
Due to the importance and sensitivity of your banking data, Arvest mobile banking depends on encrypted transmissions over the wireless carrier's network and this is why not all carriers are currently supported.  Our mobile banking partner, Firethorn, is in negotiations with several wireless carriers and we are very hopeful additional carriers will be added in the near future.   In addition to the carriers, Firethorn is constantly working on supporting additional devices.
 
We will keep you informed of any new announcements in regards to new wireless carriers or devices as we learn of developments.  At that time we will certainly add the news to the blog, our main website, and to www.arvestmobile.com.  As a reminder, with Arvest Mobile Banking, you can securely check balances, transfer funds and pay bills, all from your mobile phone.  Learn more from our online demo located HERE.
