commonwealth Bank of Australia App for WP8 is here (not a link wrapper)

[nokia3660]

Commonwealth Bank of Australia, arguably the largest bank down-under has finally released a native WP8 app today. The app is a much better improvement that the previous offering (a pathetic link wrapper).

The new app is almost on par with the iOS & Android counterparts, however miss contactless and NFC functionality. But it is heartening to see the big guns finally showing some WP8 love.

I tipped both WMPower user and WPCentral at the same time, WMPoweruser got the new out quicker
Commonwealth Bank finally updating its two your old web app to a native Windows Phone 8 version | WMPoweruser

p.s: This app is compatible only with WP8, earlier version will have to do with the wrapper.
p.p.s: There are no immediate plans for NFC on WP8

This should be useful to many members in Australia.

I spoke with a commbank branch staff member today who is also a WP user and beta tested the app.

He advised that they are working on NFC payments for WP however he said that is won't be available until later in 2014.
