Mobile app gets cash to friends faster

“Most people think when they send money in those apps it goes right away. The notification goes but it usually takes two or three days to wind through the old systems that are in place,” Zelle spokesman Greg Jawski said. “Zelle will take all that away. Money will be available instantly.” Like many third-party services, there’s no cost to send or receive money with Zelle. The Zelle platform was built by Early Warning Services, an Arizona-based company that has long been a leader in fraud prevention and monitoring. What really sets the system apart, though, is the buy-in it has from banks. Among those participating are JP Morgan Chase, the nation’s largest bank; Bank of America; Citizens Bank; Fifth Third Bank; KeyBank; PNC Bank; U.S. Bank, and Wells Fargo.

With the release of iOS 11’s latest beta on Wednesday, testers can now get their hands on one of the new mobile operating system’s most important — if not most glamorous — new features: a long-needed “Do Not Disturb While Driving” mode. Announced in June at Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference, the feature aims to combat the very dangerous practice of texting from behind the wheel, while also switching off other alerts that entice people to look at their phones while driving. Distracted driving has become a national safety crisis because of the rise of smartphones. According to statistics from the U.S. Department of Transportation, 10 percent of fatal crashes, 15 percent of injury crashes and 14 percent of all police-reported motor vehicle traffic crashes were attributed to distracted driving — a blanket term that broadly encompasses cell phone use, as well as other in-car activity like adjusting the radio or climate controls, for example.
