Associated Bank continues to improve customer experience with the addition of Mobile Banking as well as an Online Banking upgrade.

With mobile banking, customers can take care of virtually all their banking needs anytime, anywhere. This includes "text banking," which allows customers to view balances and transactions, transfer funds, pay bills, set up alerts, and find Associated branch and ATM locations. Additionally, mobile banking features a mobile browser for both standard and touch-screen smart phones and downloadable applications for iPhones and Blackberries.

"There's no denying the impact mobile phones, and specifically smart phone technology has on our industry," said David Stein, Head of Retail Banking. "Launching our new mobile banking solution enables us to provide customers with additional convenient, value-added services while gaining a significant advantage in today's competitive banking market."

Not only will mobile banking help make the banking experience more beneficial, Associated's Online Banking upgrades also greatly improve customer access. The upgraded site includes helpful budgeting tools featuring a new spending chart, expanded category list and ability to change transaction descriptions, as well as increased security, and improved navigation. A new overview page provides a snapshot of all customer account details in one place.

Associated Mobile BankingTM and Online Banking are free for all Associated Bank consumer accounts. Mobile Banking is available for use by any cell phone for text banking and if the phone has a web browser customers can use Associated's mobile web product. Customers may enroll Associated Mobile Banking online at associatedbank.com/mobile, or by calling Customer Care 1-800-236-8866.
