Mobile Devices Burying Banks in Data
"Banks have long struggled to make sense of the reams of customer data they collect across product lines. The rise of mobile banking is making this task even harder. The industry now has a litany of new data points to process. How many customers interact with their bank via the web browser on the mobile devices compared to those who use an app? How frequently do customers log into a bank account through their smartphones? How much time do they spend there? Are consumers completing the tasks they set out to do on their mobile phones or tablets, or are they giving up in frustration?"

Brick-and-mortar branches still main source of business: bankers
"Brick-and-mortar branches are still the main source of business for banks and will continue to service a bulk of their customers, despite the emergence of alternative channels such as the Internet and mobile banking, bankers said. Banks have quickened expansion in the last few years, opening 6,300 branches in 2012-13, up more than fivefold from 1,200 in 2005-2006, according to a study by Boston Consulting Group (BCG) released at the banking conference in Mumbai organized by the Federation of Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Ficci) and the Indian Banks’ Association (IBA)."

But so was this: in the near future, if not already, banks will have to think differently just to keep pace with the world around them."

MOBILE SAVINGS Big potential savings from switching branch transactions to mobile
"Mobile bankers are valuable bank customers; rich, young, and flush with profitable bank products and services. And the service is saving institutions money; as the number of mobile bankers has grown, branch visitation has decreased considerably, says a report by Javelin Strategy and Research."

Though some are slow to catch up, there are plenty of options for banks with vision to give customers what they want."
