visa Visa Launches Mobile Android App

Visa has broken new ground for Android with it’s recent release of the Visa Mobile application. As the first of it’s kind for Android, we’re bound to see some updates and changes in the near future. But for an initial release, the application offers some valuable features for Visa cardholders. These include instant alerts on your handset so you can track charges to your card as they occur and quickly realize if someone is using your card. You’ll also have access to “Offers” which can be redeemed at locations quickly identifiable by the included Store Locator.

The “Offers” and “Locator” features are nice, but of primary importance for most cardholders is the ability track purchases made with your card in realtime. Check the video after the break for a great demo of the application.
