While so far CIBC remains to be the only Canadian bank to offer a full featured online mobile banking app for the iPhone and iPod Touch (see: CIBC iPhone / iTouch online mobile banking app download), at least two other banks from Canada seem to be on the verge of getting their own full-featured online banking apps.

In a recent press release Scotiabank stated that it’s working together with USA based M-Com in order to bring its own full featured mobile banking app to its clients, while TD Canada Trust Senior VP Paal Kaperda recently revealed to The Financial Post that TD is “definitely looking” into getting a full featured mobile / online banking app of its own.

So far both TD and Scotia (as well as RBC and National Bank of Canada) offer free mobile banking apps that allow their clients to find the closest ATM machine locations and bank branches. You can download these below:

- TD Bank (mobile banking app download).
- BMO (mobile banking app download).
- Scotia (mobile banking app download).
- RBC (mobile banking app download).

Online-Bank.ca will keep you posted as to when exactly these financial institutions will launch their full-featured mobile banking apps — ones that will allow clients to pay bills, transfer money, and check account statements through their mobile phones — and where you could download them.

One more app for Canadian online banking is now available — well, sort of. The CASHTrack app for iPhone — intended for clients of Desjardins, RBC, BMO, CIBC, Laurentian, National Bank (NBC), Scotia Bank and TD — doesn’t let you bank online per se, but allows you to find the closest ATM to your current location using your GPS location, thus saving money on withdrawals charges in other banks‘ ATM machines.

Online-Bank.ca has to remind that while the idea itself is great, CASHTrack costs $2 to download, while applications that have the same purpose were already released for the iPhone for FREE for the clients of the following financial institutions from Canada:

- TD Bank (mobile banking app download).
- CIBC (mobile banking app download).
- BMO (mobile banking app download).
- Scotia (mobile banking app download).
- RBC (mobile banking app download).

Therefore, it only makes sense purchasing this app if you’re a client of either National, Desjardins or Laurentian banks, which do not have a free iPhone online mobile banking app yet.

In which case, you can do so at this link – http://bit.ly/cMsNrs

This new service is called My Payment and it’s available for both personal and business online taxes payments. it works through Interac Online. In order to pay taxes online, one has to visit the Canada Revenue Agency website, select the payment amount and indicate which account it’s for.

Next, you will be brought to Interac Online money transfers screen, and that’s where you select your banking institution, login into your online banking account, and confirm the payment.

RBC, also known as The Royal Bank of Canada in English and Banque Royale du Canada in French, is one of the oldest and most reputable financial institutions in Canada.

RBC offers online banking services to all its clients via a dedicated online portal. There they can review their bank account and/or credit card activity and statement, transfer funds between own accounts, pay bills online, and even transfer money to others via Interac e-mail transfers in Canada or international money transfers abroad.

Among some of the finer features of RBC online banking are the ability to view online and print out digital image files of certain kinds of paper-based transactions, an option to stop cheque payments, a mobile version for cellphones and handhelds, and an online skip-a-payment request form that is available on certain kinds of mortgages once a year.

RBC Online banking offers a login and password system to access your account, which coupled with a random secret question and answer process and high grade browser encryption should guarantee safe online banking.
