Thumbnail image for FinovateEurope2014wdatehighres.jpg

As we return to the United Kingdom for our fourth Finovate event in London, is there any surprise that “mobile” is the most dominant theme going into this year’s show?

FEU2014ThemeCloud001.jpg

Startups and established veterans alike are putting more emphasis into building features, functionality, and user interfaces with a “mobile first” perspective. This is enabling a generation of consumers to make payments, manage their finances and investments, and even get a loan wherever they are, without needing to rely on transportation or the tether of a power cord.

Meanwhile banks and financial institutions are exploring the mobile channel as a way to improve customer on-boarding, both in and outside of the branch.
