MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--U.S. Bank is launching Your Community, a geo-location based app, providing unique resources and information for consumers. The app, which initially launched in the Santana Row area of San Jose, Calif., features local events, promotional offers, financial education tips, noteworthy community news and much more. The app was developed in partnership with BlueSoho and is available for FREE download in the app store for both Android and iOS devices.
“We are continually looking for new and innovative ways to connect with our customers through their mobile devices,” said Dominic Venturo, chief innovation officer for U.S. Bank. “Your Community also allows our business clients to make offers available to individuals near the merchants’ locations. We encourage everybody to download the app and check out all the offers and helpful financial tips.”
While the initial launch focuses on Santana Row, the app also includes information that appeals to all geographic regions. When consumers download the app outside of San Jose, their location will be detected automatically, and they’ll receive relevant national U.S. Bank content.
