The 21st Century has heralded the beginning of a new
era in banking; technology is providing a more convenient way to
pay bills, check balances and transfer money with the use of mobile
banking via Smart phones, mobile phones and the Internet.
Mobile Banking has already been widely adopted in emerging
countries fuelled by the phenomenal popularity of mobiles, however,
in the UK and other Western economies take-up has been
slow.
Leading VRL title, Retail Banker
International, an industry focused global publication, are
joining forces with Fiserv, leading provider of technology
solutions to the financial world, and Microsoft to host a high
profile, invitation only business roundtable to place the spotlight
on mobile banking in the UK.
This is a free, invitation only roundtable
aimed at industry experts and authorities and we would be delighted
to welcome you to provide your thoughts, comments and views on the
topical, important issue of mobile banking.
Mobile penetration rates are staggering – over
90 percent in developed countries and 40 percent in developing
markets such as China and India and the subsequent development of
mobile commerce is particularly acute in retail banking and retail
payments where mobile banking (m-banking) usage is rising. So why
hasn’t this wave of enthusiasm infiltrated the UK? The
Retail Banker International/Fiserv/Microsoft roundtable
will address this key question and other pertinent topics such
as:
- From a financial return on investment perspective, what is the
single biggest reason for investing in mobile?
- What have the UK banks done wrong, why is there a lack of take
up in m-banking?
- Where has mobile banking been successful? Why has it been
more successful in these regions?
- What is the single biggest barrier to m-banking in the
UK?
- Is mobile banking the same thing as mobile payments? Do
banks and consumers see it as the same thing?
- Is m-banking different from online banking? Why? How is it
similar or the same?
- How do you exploit applications such as texting, mobile
Internet to their full potential? How can banks generate money from
mobile banking?
The output from the event will be captured in
a special supplement within Retail Banker International, both
online and in-print. Following the roundtable, we encourage
participants to stay
for wine and canapés providing an excellent
opportunity for networking and to even continue the hotly debated
discussions after the event. There are limited
spaces. To secure your spot or for further information on
