Usage of mobile banking and digital payment grows dramatically in India post demonetisation, FIS Survey shows

Kolkata, June 21 (IBNS): A recent study from financial services technology leader FIS shows a dramatic increase over the past year in the use of mobile devices and other digital banking channels by consumers in India, demonstrating the extent to which country’s demonetisation efforts are changing consumer banking habits.

FIS’ third annual Performance Against Customer Expectations (PACE) report, which surveyed 1,000 banking consumers in India, found that more than 60 percent of survey respondents said they have used mobile devices this year to check their account balances, view recent transactions, pay bills, transfer funds or other banking needs. This was up from 39 percent of survey respondents in 2016 and 34 percent in 2015.

The FIS PACE report also shows that banks in India continue to underperform their peers in other countries in terms of meeting their customers’ expectations. Indian financial institutions scored 75 points in the 2017 PACE study, one point higher than in 2016 but seven points below the global average PACE score.

Overall, the 2017 FISPACE study surveyed more than 8,000 banked consumers in eight countries, including India, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Thailand, the United Kingdom and the United States. Compared to consumers in other regions surveyed by FIS, Indian respondents place more importance on anywhere/anytime access to their accounts and digital payment options provided by their banks and, conversely, lower importance on in-person service and the ability of their banks to anticipate their financial needs.
