Visa Inc is working on a mobile banking application for Google Android based smartphones (including the new T-Mobile G1) and Nokia phones.
The application will offer alerts, special offers, and ATM and merchant location servicesdirectly on cell phones.
Visa said that for the first few months, the application will be available just to Android phone users who also have Visa cards issued by JPMorgan Chase banks. It plans to open the application to other banks in 2009.

T-Mobile announced that the HTC G1’s subscribers would be able to have unlimited data transfer for just $35 per month on Tuesday, September 23, just after the release of Google’s Android Phone. However, according to a later post on the official website, subscribers would be limited to only 1GB of data transfer per month. On Thursday, T-Mobile said that the data limit policy had been removed.
What T-Mobile will announce next is anybody’s guess.
