\tOrange pressed on with its vaunted mobile banking play, launching the service in Spain more than two years after [1] the product made its debut in France.<\/p>\n
In a statement, Orange Bank CEO Paul de Leusse (pictured) held up the division as a \u201ckey strand of the group\u2019s multi-service strategy\u201d adding the service would deliver a unique offer to one of the operator’s largest markets.<\/p>\n
Orange Bank Spain general director Narciso Perales noted Orange\u2019s longstanding experience in the mobile industry meant it was \u201cmost suited to design a mobile banking service for today\u2019s highly mobile population.\u201d<\/p>\n
Initially Orange Bank Spain will offer current accounts, savings products, physical debit cards and app-based group payment functionalities which enable the cost of items to be split among account holders.<\/p>\n
Customers also taking Orange’s core services will receive a discount on mobile bills.<\/p>\n
The launch comes two weeks after Orange hailed the progress [2] of its French banking service, which signed-up half a million customers in the first two years.<\/p>\n
