Fronde and Kiwibank win “Mobile Application of the Year” at TUANZ Innovation Awards 2007

11 October 2007

Kiwibank and Fronde are honoured to be awarded the TUANZ "Mobile Application of the Year" award for Kiwibank’s mobile banking solution.

Judging was based on several criteria, including achievement and impact of innovation, technical achievement, usability of application and results.

When it was launched in 2006, Kiwibank’s mobile banking application was the first of its kind in New Zealand and included features not previously available anywhere in the world. It broke new ground in offering New Zealanders, for the first time, the ability to make real-time banking transactions from their mobile phone.

Caroline Dewe, Director of Products and Marketing for Fronde Anywhere says “Kiwibank has lead the world with its first to market deployment for mobile banking. The partnership between Fronde Anywhere and Kiwibank has provided an excellent springboard for Fronde Anywhere’s international market expansion plans for our mobile banking platform, and it is wonderful to receive this recognition in New Zealand for local innovation."
