MOBILE MOJO WORKING Mobile banking confidence rising E-mail

 
Consumers are not only comfortable and willing to use their mobile devices for banking activities; but they expect more, easy-to-use mobile options from their financial institutions, according to a survey by Verve Mobile, a provider of location-based mobile advertising services.

 

Key findings from the Verve financial services survey include:

 

·  Consumers prefer to access mobile banking by native app (41%).

 

· The smart phone is the overwhelming platform of choice for mobile banking at (63%).

 

· Top three mobile banking services used: transfers (63%), bill pay (62%), alerts (40%).

 

· 73% of consumers want communications based on their financial profile.

 

· Location services most used, as it relates to mobile banking: ATM locator by current location (51%), branch locator (19%), ATM by zip code (19%), branches filtered by services (12%)

 

· 70% of consumers say expense and budget tracking are the most important mobile tools.

 

"The results validate what our financial service clients have speculated for a while now, that their customers have come to expect a near full service banking experience on their mobile devices," says Greg Hallinan, chief marketing officer of Verve. "There is a great opportunity for additional growth and competitive distinction for those financial service institutions who address this pent-up demand in the market, by providing increasingly sophisticated mobile account services."
