Provident Bank is offering a new way for its customers to bank with the launch of its free mobile banking service.

The convenient new tool will enable Provident customers to access their personal banking accounts directly from their web-enabled smartphones. Customers can transfer funds, check balances, locate the nearest Provident branch or ATM, and more.

A mobile check deposit feature also is available for customers with an iPhone or Android by downloading Providentâ€s mobile banking app, which is available through the Apple App store and Google Play store.

“We are thrilled to be able to offer this innovative and convenient tool that you wonâ€t find at most community banks,” said Chris Martin, Provident president and CEO. “Now our customers have the ability to easily access and manage their bank accounts on the go and at their convenience.”

Customers with web-enabled smartphones can access Providentâ€s mobile web service at m.providentnj.com.
