The new feature utilises the smartphone’s camera to capture images of each page of the document. These images are converted to a single PDF file, which can be sent securely to the customer’s Merrill Lynch adviser.

The company’s mobile app, which has a reported a 20% growth in users in the last one year, will also offer access to a spending and budgeting tool that tracks expenditures.

In addition, the app will now allow users to view their transactional activities and FICO score, and enable them to carry out real-time money transfers with Zelle.

Users can view bank statements and documents up to seven years in the MyMerrill mobile app.
