The two companies join a growing list of joint ventures aimed at cellphone users who want more flexibility than regular telephone or Internet banking allows. Under the agreement announced Wednesday, Scotiabank clients will be able to check account and credit-card balances, stock quotes, portfolio information and e-mail using a so-called interactive messaging device. The device, developed by Research in Motion Ltd., is really a high-end pager with a larger-than-average screen and a small keyboard. The service is to be available in late summer, priced at between $16.95 and $49.95 per month, depending on the number of messages. The interactive pager, a RIM 950, costs $599 for those signing up for a monthly contract, but the price drops for those who sign up for a longer term. All banking information -- with messages of up to 16,000 characters -- is relayed on Cantel's secure data network, the bank said. Rogers Cantel is Canada's largest wireless provider, serving over two million customers. Its biggest rival, Bell Mobility, recently teamed up with Bank of Montreal to offer wireless banking via cellphone or wireless Palm Pilot, a popular handheld computer. That service, called Veev, is in the midst of a 90-day trial. And Microcell Solutions, another wireless rival, announced last month that it's joining the Royal Bank to provide a similar service.
