Accelerated Adoption
There will be over two billion users of mobile banking apps by 2020, according to a recent report by Juniper Research.
What is most interesting is how consumers are welcoming change. According to the Millennial Disruption Index, 71% of millennials would rather go to the dentist than visit a bank.
This opens up not only threats to a traditional financial institution but also opportunities in many areas, from mobile banking, payments, and customer loyalty to insurance and asset management.
