Around 9% of mobile phone users are using
their devices to access bank accounts, according to research
presented by the Future Foundation at MasterCard Europe’s Prepaid
Conference in Barcelona.
The research, conducted in Europe’s five
biggest economies, showed that just over 5% of mobile users used
their phones for payments.
More than 60% of the mobile banking users were
men, said Future Foundation director Barry Clark who presented the
comScore survey results.
He added that the most popular platform was
Apple with more than 30% of those surveyed, followed by Symbian
(the operating system for Nokia) coming second, with Google
[Android] coming third with almost 20%.
The original research was conducted between
January and March 2011.
