Customers of ABN Amro Bank can now change the settings on their debit cards via its mobile banking app. The bank said its clients travelling outside Europe can change their payment profile setting from Europe to World using their phone so that they can immediately withdraw cash from ATMs and pay with their debit card. Another setting that clients can now adjust via the app is their ATM and POS limit, it added. By introducing a link to location software (for iOS) in the phone, clients can turn on an option in their mobile banking app that will send them a message to change their payment profile setting as soon as they leave Europe. Another setting that clients can now adjust via the app is their ATM and POS limit. This means that clients about to make a large purchase can use their phone to raise the limit on the spot and lower it again when they have paid. An added benefit of the upgraded app is that it is easier on the eyes. If clients have adjusted the font size in their phone settings, the app automatically picks this up and conforms. All screens now also have better contrast.
