If your credit union is still dabbling or just tipping its
metaphorical toes into the world of mobile, it’s time to dive in. With just a
quick look at my Twitter newsfeed this morning I came across several articles
and stats focused on the importance of mobile – mobile banking, mobile
advertising and mobile data. Here’s a brief look:
- Mobile Banking
Digital security leader Gemalto released study results showing that (no surprise) young people love mobile banking. 77% of the young adults surveyed (ages 25-34) use online banking services with 42% using them five times or a month or more. And 27% never visit their branch in person anymore. - Mobile Advertising
The number of smartphone and tablet users keeps increasing – and so does mobile advertising dollars. Net U.S. mobile advertising is expected to increase to $28.48 billion this year, according to eMarketer. Also, mobile search ads will be $12.85 billion by the end of the year, which is over 50% of the search market. Interestingly, Android users are more likely than iOS users to click on mobile app ads, according to a Kenshoo study. - Mobile Data
A revealing way to gauge mobile usage is by reviewing data traffic. A Cisco Systems study found that mobile data traffic grew by 70% in 2014. Cisco projects that smart devise will increase their share of mobile connections by nearly 127% between 2014 and 2019.
Wondering what these
statistics mean for your credit union?
- That your members don’t just want access to mobile banking – they require it.
- That if you’re not using your mobile app or site to cross-sell your credit union’s products and services, you’re missing a vital and growing opportunity.
- That mobile usage is only going up and now is the time to jump in with both feet before it’s too late!
