Product Type: Market Research Report
Published by: Javelin Strategy & Research
Published: June 2007
Product Code: R3424-39
Description
With over half of the U.S, household population now banking online, online banking and bill pay have finally achieved mainstream acceptance. Over the past three years online banking and bill pay adoption have plateaued, and 38 million consumers are less likely to recommend online banking in 2007 as in 2005. Javelin has used five years of longitudinal data to create a forecast model to deliver projections of adoption through 2012 for online banking, consolidated bill presentment, and online bill pay (FI and biller-direct). Javelin also explores the benefits of green banking and its impact on consumer behavior and adoption. Using quantitative consumer research and case studies of select top ten U.S. financial institutions Javelin has clearly outlined the next steps for FIs and vendors to reinvigorate growth, adoption, and profitability of the online channel.
