2015 saw financial institutions continue their shift toward a mobile-centric approach, as this channel quickly becomes the primary means of interaction between consumers and firms. According to a March 2015 report from the Federal Reserve, 35% of mobile phone users with a bank account used mobile banking in 2014, up 150% from 2010. Financial services firms continued to improve and refine their smartphone capabilities, and have begun to capitalize on new and exciting devices such as wearables. Traditional, established players are also taking inspiration from fintech firms and bitcoin wallet providers to provide a better experience to their clients.
In December 2014, we published our year-end review of interesting and noteworthy mobile finance trends that had occurred that year. Now, at the start of 2016, we take at look at how those trends have advanced and highlight some new developments that have emerged.

The Wearables industry has over the past few years progressed from devices which are expensive and difficult to use, to the relatively accessible and usable devices we see today. The first Wearables report in our insight series will give an overview of how the financial services industry has reacted to this new technology, with visual examples of trends in the current range of banking apps. The context of the smartwatch within the Wearables market is examined, as well as what the future will likely hold for this emerging technology.
The high rate of technology penetration is affecting the state of financial services:
• Collaboration economy – driven by social media
• On the go behavior – driven by intensive lifestyles and the rise of mobile technology
• Convenience seeking – driven by connectivity (“the internet of things” and wearable technology)
Time spent on social networking by internet users worldwide is on the rise, causing more sharing and peer to peer behaviors resulting in the “collaboration economy”.
Global Mobile penetration continues to rise, giving birth to more on the go/ mobile financial solutions. Rising penetration of Wearable Technology offers opportunities for companies.
In the EU, online banking adoption rates are 49% in the EU, and in other countries, USA included, penetration surpassed 50%.
We expect Mobile financial services to grow at an accelerated rate, due to the increase in solutions offered through mobile devices as well as younger demographics demand for ultra-convenient solutions. According to the Federal Reserve, in the USA, use of mobile banking continues to rise but is yet to reach the rates of online banking: 43% of all mobile phone owners, and 53% of all smartphone owners with a bank account, had used mobile banking in the 12 months prior to the survey, compared to 71% who used online banking on a desktop, laptop or tablet computer in the same period.

World Retail Banking Report 2014 from Capgemini and EfmaCapgemini
The bank of the future is shaping up to be a balanced network of distribution channels serving the diverse and changing needs of global retail banking customers. The Capgemini and Efma 2014 World Retail Banking Report, based on the proprietary Voice of the Customer survey and Customer Experience Index measurement system, reveals detailed analysis into the behaviors and preferences of retail banking customers, assesses retail banks’ performance in meeting customer expectations and provides an in-depth look at how banks are incorporating social media into their retail delivery strategies.
The mobile channel has become a strategic priority for financial services firms looking to attract and retain younger clients.

Traditional PFM Is Dead. Welcome to the New World of Digital Money ManagementMX
There is a fundamental shift occurring due to digital disruption in the financial services industry. Large banks are spending upwards of $500 million a year on mobile alone, global fintech investment grew 201% between 2013 and 2014 and up to half of the world’s banks will disappear through the cracks caused by digital.
Accenture believes with all of these changes, combined with deleveraging and squeezed margins, 30 percent of traditional banking revenues will be at risk by 2020. Now the only way for financial institutions to grow is to increase share of wallet by providing extraordinary value to customers and beating the competition.
Digital challenger banks are simplifying the financial world, creating a customer centric approach to services, and transforming the way banking is viewed by the public and the market
A “Mobile First” strategy is more important than ever. It requires more than merely transferring a general e-commerce experience into a mobile format as it is more instant and local, and it enables leveraging of the mobile device’s features, such as the camera. Proximity, personalization and loyalty are the three key themes for mobile in 2018.
2016 Continues to reflect the enormous role of Big Data in digital marketing. Wisely used, Big Data can tell us almost everything about our consumers – who they are, what their interests are, what they are interested in buying / doing / drinking etc., where they are and who they are with.
Furthermore, despite consumers' need in protecting their privacy, they are willing to give away details that will help companies personalize better to their personal benefit (for example through personalized discounts, personalized offers etc.).
In order to succeed doing so, companies need to use Big Data by first recognizing the questions they would like to answer; then, gathering the information; and finally, analyzing it.
In 2016, more than ever, simultaneously is the key word – 79% of consumers (and 90% of Millennials) switch devices during a single online activity, according to Get Personal report by Adobe; The usage of applications and social media for messaging continues to grow, creating "data exclusives" who rarely use their mobile for voice calls; and applications of familiar technologies are expanding to new areas (such as location-based technologies which in addition to marketing are also used for business operations, customer services and more).
As the immediacy of receiving the products you need becomes a non-issue in e-commerce due to increasingly smart logistics, the main challenge left is the desire to try or feel the products first. This might be the simplest explanation for the rise of omni-channel, where the online, mobile or social channels, and brick & mortar stores, are mixed into a seamless shopping experience, each leveraging its own virtues and supporting the other channels at the same time. E-commerce is not, nor has it ever been, merely a ͞sales channel͟, and companies have adapted to this notion. ͞Don’t think of e-commerce as a channel. It’s a way for consumers to research, to buy, to experience brands and then, ultimately, to have them have fulfilled͟, says Coca-Cola North America’s EVP Sandy Douglas. E-commerce, therefore, is becoming a component of omni-channel commerce. Brick & mortar competitors establish digital presence, and previously pure-play digital competitors establish a physical presence. Recent acquisitions have established the market’s dynamics even further – e.g., Amazon’s acquisition of Whole Foods Market, and Walmart’s acquisition of Jet.com and Bonobos. More retailers today use stores as display spaces that support the need to try out and try on prior to purchasing online.
