wells fargo windows phone app email proof

Banking applications are very important, so even one by small banks matter. Wells Fargo is however no small name, and we are happy to report that they company is not only considering, but already working on a Windows Phone app.

WPDaily reports Wells Fargo Customer Service sent the above email in which they confirm they are "already working on this application and plan to make it available in the future".

We do not know when the app will become available but presumably the bank, which already has apps for the iPhone, Android, Blackberry and the Palm Pre will not keep Windows Phone waiting for too much longer.

While we often report on Windows Phone apps, UK readers would have felt acutely left out, as so far none of the big 4 banks offer Windows Phone apps.

The most amusing answer about the issue from RBC’s FAQ is:

Is the Android phone the same as a Windows phone?

No, they are different types of phones. Currently, the RBC Mobile app does not run on Windows phones.

We now however have some good news to report. According to Natwest’s twitter support they are currently working on a Windows Phone app to be released early next year.

Hopefully the move is in recognition of the strides Windows Phone has made in the UK market, and will be followed by support by the other UK banks also.
