Today marks the first time that the general public will be able to download the GoBank app and begin opening and managing their accounts.

       

The GoBank mobile app is currently available only on iOS. An Android version is expected soon. The app can be downloaded from the Apple AppStore or at GoBank.com
A number of companies will be distributing the app, including Rewardable, Tango Card, WePay, and Finovate alum, Check. The launch will be accompanied by promotional campaigns ranging from in-store promotions at Barnes & Noble bookstores, to sponsorship of the upcoming season of reality show, Project Runway.
GoBank was one of the companies that demoed their technology at FinovateSpring 2013 this May in San Francisco. See the company’s technology at work here.
