OCT 23, 1999, M2 Communications - MeritaNordbanken, the Finnish-Swedish bank, recently launched a new WAP service which is said to make its customers the first in the world to be able to deal with the banking matters over the mobile phone. If there was a telephone, that is. Nokia has not yet made the new WAP telephone available to customers, its release has been postponed several times and the earliest it will be available is within November, according to Makitorppa, a Finnish retailer. MeritaNordbanken has said that it expects almost 1m WAP customers as soon as the new telephone is released, as the service can be used by anyone that already is an Internet customer - the same codes are planned to work also for the WAP connection. The service is said to be free until the end of February next year and after that it will cost FIM4 per month no matter how much it is used. -0- NORDIC BUSINESS REPORT-(C) 1999 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD
