There was also significant interest among non-mobile bankers. More than one-third said they were interested in checking bank account balances and transferring funds using their mobile phones.
The popularity of mobile purchases is also rising. One-quarter of mobile Internet users said they used their mobile phones to buy goods and services online with a credit card. Additionally, one-fifth of respondents were interested in making mobile purchases that could be billed directly to their mobile accounts.
Security is still a major concern. Two-thirds of respondents were worried about transmitting sensitive financial information, while 63% were worried about being exposed to scams and fraud and 61% were worried about what would happen if they lost a phone containing personal financial information.
