B Executive summary
1. Stats and trendsThe tablet segment is growing and more diversified sales
• Global tablet sales grew by 68% in 2013
• Android: 62% market share (16% increase)
• iOS: 36% market share (17% decrease)
• iOS remains strong in the high end market
• Android’s success based introducing low cost devices
• Around a third of the population in France, Germany and UK
now use a tablet
• By 2017 more than half of the UK population will use tablets
Smartphones are getting bigger
The trend is that smartphones are going the way of TVs – bigger.
This is evident when looking at the number of big-screen
smartphone (phablet) introductions. Also, Apple is rumoured to
launch a phablet in 2014. Noticably Samsung Galaxy Note II
sales made the top 10 in both France and Germany last year.
Growth among elderly and common purchasing device
Tablet usage is becoming mainstream and recent stats and
forecasts point at a rise among younger and older segments.
Tablets have a substantial and growing share of browsing and
purchasing products usage rates.
Multi-screen is the new normal
According to a Q3 2013 Google study:
• The average Brit uses three connected devices.
• Desktops and laptops are still most commonly used.
• Smartphone usage continue to increase; tablet is growing the
fastest (up 19% in the UK over the last 12 months)
2. The tablet banking propositionAs communicated earlier tablet sales and usage is increasing, but
the uptake when it comes to banking is yet to take off. In relation
to mobile, the number of tablet banking users is substantially
lower, but increasing moderately. Below we highlight the current
state of play when it comes to the tablet banking proposition:
Key findings
• A clear majority of banks provide a tablet app
• Offering an iOS tablet app is the dominant approach
• A fair number of banks in selected countries offer Android tablet
apps in addition to iPad ones
• Mobile and tablet move towards offering the same level of
functionality as within internet banking
• Sales is the area still to come within mobile and tablet

1 Stats and trends: Tablet segment growing and more diversified sales
Mapa comments:
As the world wide market share leader switched to Android in
2013 and we also see improved sales for Microsoft tablets, it is
clear that, in addition to apps for iOS, a multi-platform offering is
essential. This also supports the argument for moving from apps
to device agnostic experiences. This is also taking into
consideration the trend for bigger smartphones (see next page).
Gartner stats and comments on worldwide tablet sales
• Globally, tablet sales grew 68% in 2013
• Android had 62% share of the market (a 16% increase)
• iOS had a 36% share of the market in 2013 (a 16.8% decrease)
• Microsoft's tablet volumes improved but share remained small
• iOS share remains strong in the high end market. Android’s
success is based on “being within the budget of mainstream
consumers while still offering adequate specifications”Source: gtnr.it/1luM2Ta
Selected country stats and estimates by eMarketer
• One-third of the population now use tablets
• It is estimated that by 2017, more than half the population will use
tablets
• The growth rate in iPad is estimated to be a little over half that of
tablets overallSource: bit.ly/1druDID
• 6 million tablet sales in 2013, 60.4% year on year increase
• 2014 estimates: 30% of the population will use a tabletSource: bit.ly/1fjnqWf
• 26% (18 million) of consumers are tablet users in Germany in
2014 as opposed to 13% in late 2012.Source: bit.ly/1fjF1NV

2 The tablet banking proposition: Providing a better overview than mobile
April 2014 – Page 6
The tablet experience certainly provides a better overview compared to mobile. This is something that some, but not all banks takeadvantage of. One of better examples we have come across is Standard Bank (ZA). The bank launched a new iPad app mid March2014. Below we compare the iPad and iPhone app landing pages after login.
The tablet overview is positioned as ’My Personal Dashboard’ and customers can add, remove and move around different tiles. Lettingcustomers dictate the experience according to their needs has been at the heart of developing the app. Do note that you can swipesideaways to view additional content.

The browser experience after login: The OK one3
April 2014 – Page 7
The DNB (NO) have incorporated interactivecomponents for touch users to the desktopexperience. The overview has a modular basedapproach which was introduced in 2013.
Users can drag and drop preferred modules bypressing the top left part of each module.
In addition users can also swipe through recenttransactions and also the quick transfers facilityworks well on a tablet.
Landing page after login (above and to the right)
Another point to make is that DNB make use ofsticky navigation. See screenshot to the right wherea user has scrolled down whilst the navigationremains at the top. The different navigation tabs canbe expanded with one tap on the screen.
These are all good techniques to help improve theuser experience for tablet users.

4 Sales monetisation: Browser – Block approach to improve experience
April 2014 – Page 8
Something we have noticed among the better experiences is the use of blocks or tiles as seen with Danske Bank (SE) and NAB(AUS). Below we highlight the current account package and home loans section respectively. Using this approach pages comesacross as easier to read and navigate and furthermore it can help banks to make key messages stand out.

A small number of banks researched such as USAA and Boursorama have dedicated product information sections as part of their appnavigation. This gives tablet app users the added convenience to apply for a product from within the app thereby enhancing customerjourney and providing the bank with a low cost sales conversion.
Sales monetisation: App – Tablet optimised product applications
Open anaccount
Product options available:Investments, current account,
savings, life insurance,sharedealing, mortgages
Open account Form asks for personaldetails, address and contact
information
‘Open an account’ section uses visuals of a rotating disc that issegmented into different products & services offered. Clicking on a
product slides open an overlay of relevant product information and forcertain products a link to apply within the pre login section of the app.
April 2014 – Page 9
Mapa comment
Product applications are available before and after login.
A point to make is that personal details are prefilled if
applying after login, hence providing a slicker experience.
