Mercedes-Benz iPhone App makes car payments

Customers using the app can make car payments and view account information from iPhones and iPod Touches. Information Week reports.

Account holders must register online at Mercedes-BenzFinancial.com to set up a user password and identification. The application presents a limited amount of customer information that's pulled from the same account database customers would access from a desktop or laptop. Each page of the application is limited to about five fields, which makes it easier to view on a small screen.

The app includes directions and maps to local dealers, links to insurance offerings and hotel room upgrades through Mercedes-Benz' hotel partners, and links and phone numbers to customer service reps. Customers can also view more than one account from their apps.

The company will likely develop a BlackBerry mobile app at a later date.
