As per Gartner, by YE18, 55% of bank customers in developed markets will use wearable devices to interact with their banks THE MOBILE CHANNEL - A GAME-CHANGER ACROSS THE BANKING INDUSTRY The mobile channel enables banks to provide fast, secure and reliable access to customers, and also allows them to leverage technology to transform distribution, reduce costs and increase sales. And with more than 60% of customers worldwide expected to use mobile banking in 2015, it s a channel that banks need to embrace with urgency. Most customers delete an app if it does not load within 3 secs Over 40% of mobile app issues are discovered by end users NEW AND UNIQUE CHALLENGES FACING THE MOBILE CHANNEL Besides its obvious advantages, the mobile channel also presents fresh challenges vis- a-vis a need to focus on constant innovation, multiple channel management and strong and secure infrastructure, all backed by a comprehensive testing and assurance plan. End users are the final frontier in Quality Assurance (QA) due to their ability to provide instant feedback about mobile apps. It is estimated that more than 40% of the issues with mobile apps are discovered by end users. The consequences can be devastating. In case of an app failure, 48% users are less likely to use the app again and 34% of them are expected to switch to a competitor and never to return.
