Mobile and Tablet Banking: A Catalyst for Change is the sixth in a series of eight consumer survey reports based on Mercator Advisory Group’s CustomerMonitor Survey Series. The foundation of this study is data obtained during a national sample of 1,008 online consumer survey responses completed between October 23 and November 2, 2012. The study examines market dynamics including: changes in mobile and tablet usage, methods and frequency of communication with financial institutions, various banking activities performed by mobile device, and mobile banking’s impact on branch visitation.
“Mobile banking offers a new level of convenience, engaging customers with more frequent contact at a lower cost. Yet, financial institutions need to make it easier, more secure and responsive to bank by mobile,” stated Karen Augustine, manager of CustomerMonitor Survey Series at Mercator Advisory Group and the author of the report.
Highlights of this report include:
- Trending of mobile Internet access, different access methods, mobile banking activities and methods, and demographics of mobile banking users
