*This post was updated on Nov. 9, 2015 to reflect additional information about the app.*

Many customers now expect to do their banking anywhere, at any time, via a mobile device. To pick a winner, Money identified capabilities that have become essential: confirmation of account balances and recent transactions, remote check deposit, alerts, ATM/branch locator, bill payment, and free peer-to-peer transfers. We ruled out apps attached to accounts with high fees. Finally, we checked the apps ourselves for ease of use.

WHY IT'S A WINNER

This app wins with broad capabilities and an interface that anticipates your needs. If you’ve checked transactions, for instance, it prompts you to make a transfer, deposit a check, or set an account alert—without forcing you back to the main menu. Need to pay a bill? Type in the business name, and the app fills in the address, then makes a payment when you say go. And the mobile deposit feature automatically takes a photo of your check as soon as it registers a clear image; you’ll get a notice telling you when the funds will be available. Still need help? Schedule a call with customer service. Someone will ring when it’s convenient for you.

#### Caveat

Unlike some rival apps, BBVA Compass does not use fingerprint-recognition technology.

*Update:* As of Nov. 6, 2015, the BBVA Compass Mobile App now has fingerprint-recognition technology.
