First Direct UK developing app for Windows Phone; won't be available before 2014
First Direct is developing an app for Windows Phone, but unfortunately the app won't be available on the store before the year is out. According to the official Twitter account for the help team, the UK bank has its elves working hard on the official solution, but since it's Christmas, children of course come before those who wish to perform mobile banking.
The above conversation comes from Chris Field, the developer of Mehdoh and Cloudoh. What we're unsure of is whether this move means a HSBC Windows Phone app is also in development, especially given First Direct is a division of HSBC, but we couldn't imagine the bank leaving out a platform other establishments support.
We'll update you all once the First Direct Windows Phone app is finally available.
