Credit union launches mobile bill pay

DOWNEY - Financial Partners Credit Union launched a mobile bill pay application last Friday, allowing its members to pay their bills anywhere, anytime using their smartphone.FPCU's mobile bill pay app is available for the iPhone, Android and Blackberry. It's also available on the credit union's mobile site, m.fpcu.org. According to FPCU president and CEO Nader Moghaddam, members have been paying bills using online banking for sometime now. But they did not have the convenience of mobile applications, which is growing more prevalent in today's financial technology services. "Since the members have been asking for it, now they have it," Moghaddam said. The mobile app allows members to pay their bills when they want - on payday, the payment due date or whenever they choose. Members can also transfer funds between FPCU accounts or even accounts at other banks. The app also allows members to pay almost anyone through bill pay, including friends and family, while FPCU pays for the stamp.
