First International Mobile Money Transfer

By
First International Mobile Money Transfer

There are plenty of Polish people living and working in Britain, some permanently, some temporarily, and they send £1 billion a year home. Now, those who have a NatWest Polish Welcome account can send money back to Poland to accounts run by Polish bank PKO BP using mobile phone transfers, says silicon.com.

NatWest claims to be the first UK bank to allow international money transfers via mobile. Customers don’t pay any commission for the service, and the bank hopes to have more countries and banks available soon.

To use the service, a customer has to sign up via the NatWest site then just make the transfer using NatWest’s Mobile Phone Banking service.

I finally have RCS on my iPhone, and it’s one of my favorite iOS 18 features

Apple’s Messages app has certainly come a long way. When the first iPhone launched in 2007, it could only send SMS -- there weren't even picture messages. Then it got MMS protocol support in iPhone OS 3.0 with the iPhone 3GS. With iPhone OS 5.0, Apple implemented its own iMessage chat protocol, making it easy for Apple users to communicate with other Apple device users.

However, when it came to messaging Android users, Apple dragged its feet for the longest time, sticking with SMS and MMS, which aren’t encrypted and don't offer full-quality photo and video sending. It also sparked the whole blue bubble versus green bubble war.

The 2025 Android phone I’m most looking forward to isn’t from Samsung or Google

2025 is rapidly approaching, and that can only mean one thing for a tech nerd like me: It's time to start looking forward to another year of smartphones. All signs are pointing to an interesting year for Apple with the iPhone 17, and I'm eager to see what comes of it.

But what about what's happening in the Android smartphone space? The Samsung Galaxy S25 series is just on the horizon, but I've yet to see anything that's made me really ecstatic about it. The Google Pixel 10 series should be a good one, but we've not heard enough about it yet.
