Mobile banking apps are the best, according to Aussies

Let’s be honest, when’s the last time anyone actually visited a bank? And it seems we’re unlikely to ever again, according to new research from Roy Morgan .

Mobile banking (via a smartphone or tablet app) is hands-down the most popular banking method, producing an average customer satisfaction rating of nearly 90% among Australia’s Big Four Banks (CBA, Westpac, ANZ, and NAB). Nearly two thirds of Australians now use mobile banking as their top method for managing money.

Trailing at a close second is Internet banking (using a bank’s website), with an 86.8% average satisfaction rate. This is followed by in-person branch visits (82.6%), then lastly phone banking, which came in a dismal fourth at 77.4%.

Anything to avoid making a phone call, huh? 

What are the advantages of mobile banking?

There are many key benefits offered by mobile and internet banking which might incentivise customers, chiefly enhanced accessibility, security, and clarity. Banking apps these days are no longer just the digital version of the bank: they often boast new user-friendly features like savings guides, guide to fintech and what to pay attention to, including the pros and cons of neobanks.
