Mobile Banking

The Apple iPhone, who pay bills and transfer funds via mobile devices, is now being challenged for mobile-banking leadership by a surging Android operating system. Android users are catching up with iphone devotees, who account for 34% of regular mobile-banking users and 24% of all smart-phone owners.

Android now account for 12% of the smart-phone market, up from 4% just six months ago, and account for a 17% share of active mobile bankers. Android users who conduct mobile banking also log in to the service more often than iphone users. More impressively, Android users are already as likely as iphone owners to use mobile banking, with 48% having accessed the service in the past 90 days, compared to 49% for the chart-topping iphone.

James Van Dyke, Javelin’s president and founder, tells Digital Transactions News that “To see Android come out so quickly and surpass iPhone or come even with iphone, we didn’t expect that.”
