We'll be grouping both the Lloyds and...
While Square (squareup.com) remains the king of mobile transactions for small businesses, taxis and other services globally, the company has so far stayed away from Windows Phone, sticking with the iPhone and Android instead. File it under the old “not enough market share” problem that has plagued Microsoft. Some of that is changing though as PagSeguro (Brazil) and Cube (getcube.com)...

UK bank Barclays has confirmed on Twitter that a Windows Phone app is currently in development. The only issue is that they have the end of the year as the deadline, which makes us assume they're very early in the development stage, aren't pouring much time and effort into it, or aren't making any promises (likely number 3). At least the bank has looked at Windows Phone as a viable...

While we have a decent number of banking apps available for our Windows Phone. You have Chase Mobile, Bank of America, the National Australian Bank, Rabobank and the more the merrier.

One of the many features on the Chase Mobile app for your Windows Phone 8 device is QuickDeposit. This is where you take a photo of your check to make the deposit.
