Mobile Banking & Emerging Payments Technology

Document Format: Digital Edition

The mobile movement is beyond the tipping point. Already, there are more U.S. consumers with mobile devices than without them, making it virtually impossible for any financial institution to ignore the enormous potential of this delivery channel.

But how to move forward? Many institutions have taken the first steps toward becoming mobile-enabled. In fact, Celent just reported that the majority of the Top 50 U.S. retail banks will offer some form of mobile banking by the end of this year.

But consumers soon will come to expect much more than just the basics. The industry is rapidly reaching a point where competition will center around innovation, Celent says. In other words, this is the year that financial institutions need to work on becoming mobile-savvy.
