Chase Mobile for Android

The latest Chase Mobile app for the Android OS is a very handy tool for those of us where money is an object. It allows you to securely login and provides a convenient "remember user name" feature for future logins. Use this with caution if you're not locking your phone with a passcode or pattern. Once you're logged in you can see a nice account summary of all accounts associated with your login. You can drill into each account to see all transactions, pending and cleared. The app comes with a handy ATM locator that works well with GPS enabled and disabled. The handy deposit functionality will save you a bunch of time and gas money since you'll no longer have to travel to an ATM to deposit checks. Just snap a few shots of the front and back of the check, confirm the dollar amount and account number, and submit the deposit by clicking on a button. Chase does a nice job of sending emails when the deposit is submitted AND when it finally clears. Checks deposited using this method seem to clear in about 24 hours.


Favorite Feature: Depositing checks by taking pictures. Fewer trips to the ATM. No more envelopes.

Biggest Complaint: Logging in with a full account password can be cumbersome with the tiny mobile keyboards. Especially for a guy with Fred Flintstone thumbs.

Suggestions for Improvement: Utilize a pin number or another creative, faster security technique without compromising security
