Session Description:
Cash
management is at a turning point. By and
large, the applications
have matured and provide a host of core
features and benefits for their
demanding client base. However, there is
plenty of room for improvement.
Corporate banking customers are
constantly looking to their banks to
provide innovative ways of increasing
efficiency. It is time for banks to step
on the accelerator. While the potential
of the consumer mobile banking market
has been a focus recently, little
emphasis is being placed on the
corporate or small business markets.
This session will examine how mobile
devices are impacting work attitudes,
behavior, and productivity. The state of
the mobile world is opening an array of
opportunities for corporate users. A
cultural and behavioral shift has
started to occur as large, midsize, and
small businesses have affixed mobile
devices to their users' hips. Because
corporate users are so in tune with the
benefits and flexibility of mobile
technology, they make excellent
candidates for mobile banking services.
Device evolution, Blackberry mania,
faster networks, and the prevalence of
data plans will drive adoption of
corporate mobile banking
services. Competitive pressures from
first movers, new vendor solutions, and
demand from corporations will also be
important drivers.
This session will explore why banks are
taking their time with mobile corporate
banking. A detailed depiction of
potential mobile banking features and
functions is provided, along with an
analysis of mobile banking technologies,
and the current state of the vendor
market (cash management and mobile
banking). Finally, the report presents a
case study on Wells Fargo, the first US
financial services company to announce a
mobile banking solution for its
commercial banking customers.
This program is appropriate for senior
financial executives with responsibility
for Wholesale Banking, Cash Management
Services and Technology, Small Business
Banking, Electronic Payments, Marketing,
Marketing Research and Strategy teams.
