GOOD PROSPECTS FOR MOBILE BANKING

One in four users would consider switching banks if they were offered free mobile banking services and 51% would be interested in using a mobile banking service according to a survey of 2,127 UK online users, conducted by Forrester for mobile banking specialist Meridea...

Nearly a third of those surveyed already regularly browse the internet regularly from their mobile phone and 60% of all those surveyed could carry out mobile banking on their existing mobile handsets - if it was available to them.

In terms of mobile banking capabilities, they are most interested in being able to check account balances, being warned when their account goes overdrawn, freezing a card and making payments or transfers.
