quickly and easily roll-out full-service banking capabilities to their
customers with Sybase 365 managing the entire infrastructure. Sybase 365
also announced BBVA
Compass as one of the first adopters of the Sybase 365 mBanking

project and deploy all of the technologies,” said Chris Causey, Vice
President, Internet Banking Department BBVA Compass. “This new service
helps BBVA Compass retain and attract new customers, providing another
avenue of banking for users beyond visiting branches, calling by phone,
or accessing accounts via the Internet.”

Compass customers can now check balances, view posted and pending
transactions, transfer funds between accounts, and interact securely
with bank representatives, from the convenience of their iPhone.

day – their mobile device,” said Matthew Talbot, vice president,
