Barclays Pingit App for iPhone lets you send money using just a mobile number.

Barclays Pingit is an easy way to send and receive money using your UK mobile phone. The app is free to download and use*, payments are secure and it takes seconds for money to arrive.

If you have a Barclays current account, you can use the Barclays Pingit app to send and receive money. If you bank elsewhere, you can register online at www.barclays.co.uk/pingit to receive payments. Soon anyone with a UK current account will be able to use the app to send money too, subject to meeting the criteria below.

Send money
You can send up to £300 a day to family, friends and small businesses using just a mobile number, as long as you have a UK Barclays current account. Soon everybody will be able to use Barclays Pingit to send money even if their current account is with another UK bank.

Receive money
Anyone with a UK current account can register to receive payments, so you don't have to share your bank details when asking someone to send you money. If you don't have a Barclays current account or simply want to receive payments from other Barclays Pingit users, you just need to register online at www.barclays.co.uk/pingit.

Find branches and ATMs
The Barclays Pingit app also lets you find your nearest Barclays ATM or branch and, if you're a Barclays current account customer, you can view the balance of your linked account.

You can download the Barclays Pingit app from the UK App Store at the link below...

The majority of women will especially notice an increased amount of fat deposition around their mid-section, which plays a significant role in contributing to heart disease, the number one killer of middle-aged and older women. Not to worry

Yeh just install Xcon on cydia (ModMyi). This by passes the jailbreak detection from apps. Works on my 4s 5.0.1

xCon from cydia makes this app usable on Jailbroken devices :) I'm using it on my iPhone 4 5.0.1 Jailbroken.

WTF jailbroken = unusable app

MartinAlex - February 20, 2012 at 2:12am

That is right. It does not work on jailbroken iP4 with iOS 5.0.1 :(

Does anybody know why it doesn't work using jailbroken phones? Is there anyway around it?

Security and liability. Everything that goes on a non-jailbroken phone goes through Apple and is certified secure by them. It's extremely unlikely that your account would get emptied by some hacker via code embedded in an app from the App Store. If it did, Barclays and you would have someone to blame. On the flip side, there are no such guarantees with jailbroken apps and it's more likely something nasty could find it's way on to your phone. In this case you would have nobody to turn too when your money goes missing.

Not a liability because its a genuine (apple certified) app. If the app was cracked then i would agree and advise people to stay clear. Certain apps detect the jailbreak and its more likely written into the code as part of Apples terms. Just because a phone is jailbroken doesn't necessarily mean you download illegal and cracked content. Although if your money did go missing then i'm sure they would use this as the reason not to reimburse your money....
