With the ubiquity of all things Internet, online banking seems a universal phenomenon, with well over half of the banking population on board to any degree, according to a research report from Novarica, a research and consulting firm to the banking and insurance industries.
As the newer kid on the block, about 18 percent of the banking population uses mobile banking, Novarica found. As banks begin to expand their mobile banking platforms, they have to balance the present-day use with what is expected to become a deluge of mobile banking in the future.
