Discover Bank Mobile Site
Discover Bank
The Discover Mobile Banking Site provides a targeted destination for mobile traffic generated primarily via organic and paid search. While Fusebox designed the mobile banking site specifically for Discover Bank, the framework actually scales seamlessly across all Discover properties.
The site was developed using a combination of Javascript and a set of core web services implemented via JSON. We used JSON because it’s lightweight and more readily parse-able by Javascript. Plus, we were able to implement the ‘P’ specification and can therefore call services without a proxy.
The site communicates with the RESTful Discover Interest Rate Service to support real-time interest rate feeds. Further integration with the Discover email system enables asynchronous messaging directly to customers who might prefer to review additional information on their time, or open an account later.
The Fusebox team worked closely with the Discover Bank team on all aspects of the mobile project, from studying best practices and emerging standards, to a careful analysis of mobile traffic across the Discover properties (it’s been doubling every quarter!), through to the web server rewrite strategy.
Discover Financial Service has partnered with Fusebox on a wide range of digital initiatives. We collaborate closely with each of their key business units—including Discover Bank, Discover Student Loans, and Discover Home Loans and their partners—on strategic planning, and creative projects and technology implementations.
We apply effective program management principles—working as an extension of the Discover team—to create short and long-term project roadmaps that meet the right requirements, at the right times. Together, we have developed a number of valuable initiatives and powerful service offerings that continue to provide significant return on investment: projects like the SaaS Interest Rate Manager, which allows the entire Discover group to manage their interest rates with a live service, in addition to website design, mobile websites, email management and deployment integration, online marketing campaigns, application development, and social media strategies.
We take a 360-degree approach in everything we do. It's the way we like to work—and the way we work best.
