UK banks lag behind, failing to catch up after their late start, UK banks are notably less advanced than those offered by banks in North America and by other European banks.
Peter Wannemacher, Forrester analyst and one of the authors of the report said of the data: "The most obvious missed opportunity among the 15 banks reviewed by Forrester is that few are making effective use of context to make information more relevant to customers. Sales is another big missed opportunity: Some banks aren’t even trying to cross-sell products and services through mobile, and none of the 15 does it effectively."
