It is all good and well to talk about a trend based on trivial observations or individual war stories, but trends get substantiated by rigorous research only. That is why one can now confidently proclaim that there is a spectacular growth in the adoption and potential for mobile banking. This is true on the basis of a number of research reports released in the past few months that all corroborate this trend.
Some of the more interesting reports that I have seen are:
- Javeline Strategy and Research reporting a jump of almost 60% in mobile banking take-up, concluding that mobile banking has now moved from a "nice-to-have" to a "must-have". (Read here)
- A McKinsey research poll of major European banks report a jump of more than 50% in banks that are planning to launch some mobile banking application (Read here).
- A Comscore research reports a jump of 45% on a year to year basis of consumers using mobile banking. This now represent about 14% of all mobile users in the US (Read here).
- Both Starbucks (reporting 20 million mobile transactions) and Paypal (expecting $3.5 billion of mobile transactions in 2011) reporting strong growth in their mobile banking initiatives (Read here)
