The rise of mobile banking
Experts are pointing at a “loss of physicality”
In 1995 the average EU consumer made 2.21 visits per
month to the bank.
By 2012, that figure had dropped to 0.26 visits, which equates to 3.2 visits per year.
Consumers have shown mounting enthusiasm for mobile services
* TNS. Mobile Life. June 2012
“All the figures are pointing to the fact that we have reached a tipping point in
worldwide desire for mobile financial services. Globally, people are opening their
minds to using their mobile to bank or buy”*.
James Fergusson, Global Head, TNS Connect
Mobiles are even displacing PCs for the most routine tasks
“Mobile banking is displacing online banking. Technologies like apps let customers perform simple banking tasks more
quickly and easily on a mobile or a than on a PC. As a result, banking on Smartphones and tablets is already displacing
banking on PCs for routine interactions.
Over the coming decade, Smartphones, tablets, and other portable devices will become the dashboard through which
many customers, both rich and poor, manage their money.”

What are the moments of Truth?
And how can we create a “wow” effect?
What are the biggest frustrations? How can innovations
lead to improvements?
Those moments of truth (such as resolving a fraudulent transaction) and “digital delight” moments providing new, easy ways for customers to do
routine transactions (such as mobile bill pay) prove decisive in winning either customers’ advocacy or their derision.
McKinsey. Retail Distribution 2015 – Full Digitalisation with a human touch. Dec 2011Bain and company. Customer loyalty in retail banking. Global edition 2012.
How to consolidate these positive
experiences into an overall propositions?
Customers with a higher frequency of mobile transactions are more likely to recommend their bank than low-frequency users. This is not about one-offs but developing an overall
vision.
Ultra convenience and innovation
Inspiration: boosting customer service IBM Watson
IBM's cognitive supercomputer Watson will soon be helping several of the company's most
important customers like Australia’s ANZ Bank and Royal Bank of Canada
Watson's new role, called "Ask Watson," is to help brands answer customer service queries via a combination of websites, cloud services,
email, SMS and Smartphone apps.
Companies will tap his ability to use semantic searches to make him a formidable customer
service assistant.
“From a consumer point of view, being able to access a brand's customer service function via a Smartphone app AND to have your query dealt
with efficiently by a super computer is a compelling prospect.” Contagious

Digital commerce
A variety of new players are entering the market, including tech specialists such as Google, start-ups such as Square, and established online payment providers such as PayPal.
Google in particular has bold plans: It wants to close the last mile and is willing to give away everything to merchants (including point-of-sale terminals, digital wallets, and Trusted Service Manager [TSM] services) to make this happen.
Digital commerce
New Markets
Key opportunity to use mobile to access the world’s 2.5 billion adults who are either unbanked or underbanked.
Non-incumbent ‘attacking banks’ may more easily be able to build a low-cost proposition in partnership with an established Telco.
BENEFITS
- Growing market share with a disruptive proposition
- This could support a broader vision and purpose and boost long term brand equity

M Pesa has led the way in Kenya, making possible for the first time person-to-person transfers and facilitating international remittances.
A striking 51% of Kenyan adults use this system making it the most successful mobile money deployment worldwide.
New players in such markets are integrating existing mobile payments platforms with online merchants, bank accounts, and microfinance platforms.

Westpac: Impulse SaverINSIGHT:
Westpac bank promises to help New Zealanders use money to get where they dream of being. But their appalling savings behaviour was preventing this as they were 23rd out of 29 OECD nations in terms of saving habits.
SOLUTION:
Inspired by a TED Talk by Rory Sutherland in which he noted that "marketing has done a very good job of creating opportunities for impulse buying … we've never created the opportunity for impulse saving“, Westpac created an impulse saving product.
The bank created an app that interfaces directly with online banking allowing customers to transfer a predetermined amount from their transactional account to their savings account at the touch of a button.
Permata / BlackBerry: BBM MoneyINSIGHT:
People increasingly use their phones to manage many aspects of their lives. Enabling users to make quick payments to each other – such as splitting a bill in a restaurant or helping small traders to collect payments from regular customers is an attractive prospect.
SOLUTION:
BlackBerry has partnered with Indonesia’s Bank Permata to develop a mobile payment service.
The company is testing a system whereby Indonesians will be able to use the chat service, BlackBerry Messenger, to transfer money to their friends.
Users can send or receive money by downloading the BlackBerry Money app. It is free to send money to BBM users who bank with Permata, while it costs 5,000 rupiah ($0.52) to send money to customers of other banks.
Barclays: PingitINSIGHT:
As per BBM
SOLUTION:
Barclays’ Pingit is an app that allows account holders to transfer up to £300 a day to other people - using just their mobile phone number.
It has stood out for its incredible simplicity:
First of all, customers download the app and link it to their current account and UK mobile number.
To make a payment, you choose a recipient from your contacts (or type in a mobile number), then select how much to send and confirm payment.
People without Smartphones can still use the service via text message, but first need to register online.
Non-Barclays customers can register online to receive Barclays Pingit payments..
The Commonwealth Bank of Australia: Property GuideINSIGHT:
CBA needed to counteract aggressive mortgage rate pricing by targeting customers who weren't just searching for the lowest home loan rate but also needed a trusted source of advice to walk them through the buying process.
SOLUTION:
Using augmented reality and Google maps, the Property Guide app gives home buyers a virtual insight into 95% of Australian homes.
It maps data such as sales history and current property listings on a real world view, and gives users key suburb insights such as demographics, median price and buy/sell guides.
Financial tools and advice including calculators, videos and guides are also featured to ensure that the home and loan they choose is the right one for them.
Click to call and 'arrange an appointment‘ functionality allows instant access to the Bank once the buyer is ready.
Aviva: DriveINSIGHT:
Insurance is a competitive market with little to differentiate between providers. Consumer behaviour is now normalising towards seeking the lowest cost from price comparison websites.
SOLUTION:
To stand out in this competitive market place Aviva demonstrated that they recognise individuals and are able to give policies and competitive prices that are based on individual driving habits (for car insurance) rather than broad consumer demographics and associated risk profiles.
The brand developed a mobile app that utilises telematrics on Smartphones to record driving habits, in order to get a discount on new insurance policies based on how you drive.
After driving for 200 miles you are given a score out of 10 and this score is used to calculate discounts the motorist has earned.
Visa: Mobile Managed ServiceINSIGHT:
Building on the success of M-Pesa, there is an opportunity for financial services companies to help maintain these services as demand grows.
SOLUTION:
Visa has launched a new off-the-shelf mobile money platform that aims to make it easy and cost-efficient for financial institutions and mobile network operators to offer mobile financial services to the ‘unbanked’ consumers.
The Visa Mobile Managed Service allows those without a bank account in developing countries and elsewhere to still make payments, buy goods, send remittances and store value on their mobile phone devices.
Unbanked consumers in India and Rwanda are the first to benefit from the service.
Three golden rules
Think UsefulIt has become crucial to create valuable and useful product experiences that enrich customers’ lives as they will reward
companies that help them to do more.
Companies address this shift by listening and working with customers in order to become, and stay, useful.
Think relationshipsCustomer resentment was already running high before
the financial crisis. Since then, trust has plummeted even further.
Re-instating relationships require words and actions to rebuild both affective and cognitive trust. So we need
to look for more opportunities to interact and each time make sure we add value.
