    NAB first Aussie bank to create an iPad app, still no iPhone app

    NAB iPad app

    Despite still not having an native iPhone application, National Australia Bank have already launched their iPad application. This comes 2 days ahead of the iPad’s Australian launch. NAB do have a web app for the iPhone, but were very late to the game, it seems they’ve learnt from their experience.

    Below you’ll see a series of screen shots from the application. Beginning with the Welcome screen, this provides shortcuts to the different components of the app – Internet Banking, ATM and Branch location map and foreign exchange rates.

    As a NAB customer, it’s great to have a native application and see NAB be pro-active in development. One very important thing to remember for this and other banking apps for your iPad is that you REALLY need a passcode set on your device. Applications may not and in this case don’t, have any safeguards to prevent other users accessing your account. There really should be a unique passcode, or at least the option to set one, for this and other banking apps.

    A passcode for your iPad is a good idea anyway, to prevent your contacts details should it be lost. Many people would already have one set on their smartphone, but I find the iPad is much more of a communal device. Perhaps the concept of different user profiles is something Apple should add to the iPhone OS.
