It’s been a great year for mobile finance, with plenty of new companies popping up all the time. Between September 2019 and August 2020, more than 4.3 billion fintech applications were downloaded, and that figure is only expected to rise as banks speed up their digital transformation and more fintech companies join the market.

Mobile banking applications came in third place in a Citi survey of the most popular apps, behind social media and weather. Financial services are reevaluating their tech stacks and analyzing the best solutions to meet their clients’ increasing digital expectations in 2020, as shown in the fast consumer adoption of digital banking.

Due to low market penetration, a significant number of unbanked consumers, and other demographic considerations, Asian countries like Indonesia and Vietnam are leading the digital-first, fintech push. Fintech is less of a disruptor in these industries than it is as a way to meet a demand that isn’t being met by most conventional banks. Users’ behavior has been altered permanently by these fintech applications, and this shift is likely to last for a long time.

Giving consumers the appropriate information at the right time and on a channel they like is essential to keeping them engaged and getting them to utilize the product. When deciding how to engage consumers, insights derived from data analytics are critical. It’s critical, for example, to know your target demographic’s financial preferences and encourage buy intent by conveying the correct information.

“We basically see two themes driving everything,” said AJ Shanley, Visa’s North American Regional Director. To begin with, a business may unbundle its services and then re-bundle them, including conventional banking services only gradually. Second, there is an increase in the number of banks offering financial services as a subscription. Everything may be accessed via a single API. For fintechs, this implies that instead of starting from scratch, they may use APIs to access the market more rapidly.

Mobile Trading Trends

New applications for smartphones and tablets increasingly mirror their desktop counterparts, while early mobile trading software was primitive and unresponsive to traders’ requirements. As a result of mobile platforms’ speed and accessibility, the market for financial mobility has seen significant growth. Also, it should be noted that the advancement of mobile technologies made it easy to navigate in the financial markets and one of the examples is the FX market. Nowadays, there are many investors who use Forex mobile trading apps, which of course, have their own advantages and disadvantages. For mobile traders, the primary benefit is the increased mobility that comes with using a smartphone. Mobile traders don’t want or need to be confined to a desk or PC at their place of business or residence. To keep traders interested even while they’re on the road or at a park, mobile phones may help. Because of the internet’s accessibility, traders can view real-time prices, make orders, and keep tabs on their holdings from any location. According to Oanda’s internal client research, mobile use increased during ‘commuting hours’. Analytics show that individuals are checking in on the markets and their accounts on the train to work, according to Oanda Senior Writer Leslie McNab.

Successful Growth Strategies

When companies don’t have a comprehensive knowledge of their target demographic, it’s particularly challenging to build a product that people like using. In this article, leading global financial institutions provide practical ideas and real-world use examples that you may follow:

Building trust is critical for financial organizations. It’s not a smart idea to move too fast when consumers’ financial information is on the line. As they gain consumers’ confidence and create content that demonstrates their expertise and develops credibility, industry leaders strive to establish a fundamental services layer. Even before a product is released, the seeds of future success are planted.

The design of a product in the mobile banking and fintech industry may either create or destroy confidence. An old sign-in page, such as one with broken components, creates mistrust among customers. The design was shown to be highly important to a website’s legitimacy and trustworthiness by Stanford’s BJ Fogg. A deeper dive into the financial sector showed that, among other things, the design was the most essential factor to consider for the finance category. Nearly 1.7 billion individuals across the world, the majority of whom reside in developing countries, do not have any kind of banking facility. Because mobile devices are used more often in these areas, fintech and digital-only banks have a larger market share. For fintech companies worldwide, improving financial inclusion is a top priority. Many of these companies are striving to make financial services more accessible and quicker for the unbanked.

The future acceptance of fintech services will also be influenced by people’s level of financial knowledge. Fintech companies value those who have a basic understanding of money. With the assistance of fintech companies, consumers can better manage their money, save more, and invest.

Overall, the financial services industry’s growth is oriented toward greater service provision, more access to financial information, improved transparency, faster transaction processing, more secure identity verification, and improved client lifecycle support.
