Mobile Banking: US Banks Report Card

Leaders and Laggards in Mobile Banking

It’s been just over two years since Wells Fargo and Bank of America triggered the mobile banking movement in the US, enough time to review the nation’s mobile banking offerings and grade how consumer-friendly they are. ABI Research built a set of grading criteria to rate mobile banking offerings in four categories: reach, breadth of services offered, security, and discoverability. 29 US banks, including the 17 largest retail banks and several smaller regional and community banks were graded using these criteria, resulting in a report card which shows the leaders and laggards of mobile banking in the US.
