However banks face significant challenges, including updating IT systems, and balancing security concerns with convenience.Banks in Western Europe have been slow to develop mobile banking facilities compared to those in developing countries. But mobile banking has the potential of providing banks with significant returns on investment due to more frequent interactions with consumers, increased cross-selling opportunities, and reductions in costs.To improve uptake and use of mobile banking facilities, banks need to provide consumers with services that add value. These could include more advanced banking facilities or lifestyle benefits.
