Pageonce Picks Top Financial Services Trends for 2012
(firmenpresse) - PALO ALTO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/10/12 -- This year Americans can put their mobile devices to work for them by turning their smartphones and tablets into financial remote controls. As technology continues to improve everyday life, Pageonce, the popular daily finance service for mobile devices, predicts the future of financial services will be driven by mobile.
"Americans are fed up with the status quo, and demanding a better way to deal with their money and bills," said Guy Goldstein, Pageonce CEO. "Rather than getting lost in the details and fine print, the shift is toward simplifying finances -- people just want to know exactly where they stand at any time."
2012 trends that will impact financial services:
1) Consumers crave the simple experiences they get from companies like Apple, Amazon, PayPal and Pageonce. Traditional financial institutions are not keeping up, and risk being pushed to the back-office. Banks will continue to lag behind while consumer tech companies take control of the customer experience.
2) As consumers shift more time from their computers to their mobile devices, online banking will follow. As they did with e-commerce a decade ago, consumers will get past nagging security concerns and do their finances and on their smartphones.
3) The US Postal Service is downsizing significantly, and billions of dollars are wasted each year on paper that piles up and gets thrown away. Consumers will ditch their checkbooks, cancel paper bills and opt to for email receipts and . Electronic bills will be as common as airline e-tickets.
4) Companies are making massive investments in person-to-person payment networks, which allow people and small businesses to forego cash and checks, and pay each other electronically. Mobile will spark growth in this area, allowing people to send each other money via their smartphones.
5) No more massage and nail salon offers to the masses. No more coupon clipping. Consumers will look for -- and use -- personalized offers, deals and coupons directly from their smartphones.
