average daily deposit/withdrawal volume of 165 branch transactions
and 65 ATM transactions, could expect to save about $5 million
annually if the bank were able to convert 20% of those branch and
ATM transactions to its mobile channel.”(3)

geographical footprint as the well as ability to cross-sell and up-
sell products to existing customers. Banks that harness these
