/24-7PressRelease/ -- Barclays Pingit has been named in the App Store Best of 2012 list in the UK by Apple.
The ground-breaking
mobile payments app was selected from thousands in the Apple store for recognition in the awards' 'Disruptive Services' section, which showcases those apps that are changing the rules and redefining industries by offering exciting and entirely new solutions.
Barclays Pingit takes mobile banking to a new level by letting users make payments to people and businesses using just the recipient's phone number.
Anyone aged 16 or over with a UK current account, a UK mobile number and smartphone can download the Barclays Pingit app and have mobile money when they want it.

Mobile Wallet and keep it topped up with funds as they need them.
