New CBA research shows rapid growth in usage of new banking and payments technology
Majority of Canadians recognize value of banking innovations
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 02/07/17 -- The Canadian Bankers Association (CBA) today released the results of its latest research, How Canadians Bank, which shows that Canadians are embracing new banking and payment technologies and that a large majority of Canadians (90 per cent) recognize the value they get from banking innovation.
The research, commissioned by the CBA and conducted by Abacus Data, also reveals that 17 per cent bank primarily on a mobile device, up significantly from nine per cent two years ago. This is a sharp change from 14 years ago when 40 per cent said they banked mainly at an ABM, 30 per cent banked in branches and only 16 per cent did most of their banking online. Respondents credit banks for taking steps to provide secure, fast and convenient banking and payments solutions.
"Banks in Canada have long been leaders in the development of new technologies and innovations that make banking and payments fast, simple and convenient for customers, while maintaining customer trust and confidence in the safety and security of these transactions," said Terry Campbell, president of the Canadian Bankers Association. "Canadians of all age groups are not only increasingly using online and mobile banking and payments, they are telling us they anticipate doing more and more in the coming years. The fact that 44 per cent of Canadians used mobile banking in 2016 is evidence of this progress."
Digital banking and payments grow rapidly
Looking ahead
More Canadians than ever expect to be using mobile banking and payments in the coming years; a trend the 35 and under demographic are leading, but that Canadians 55 and older are contributing to in steady numbers.
Canadians overwhelmingly credit banks for leadership on banking technologies
"It's clear that Canadians are excited about, and fully willing to take advantage of the numerous banking innovations that are unravelling before our eyes," said Mr. Campbell. "This is in no small part due to the fact Canadians say they trust their banks year after year, and view them as a partner they can rely on."
