Banking is now closer than ever.Digital technologies have changed how we think of financial services by bringing our banks closer in space (accessibility) and in time (immediacy).
Long distances to services, long waits for transactions.
Mobile services, near-instantaneous transactions.
Financial security.
And this changes how we think about financial behavior.People think differently about events and objects depending on their ‘distance’ in time and space (psychological distance). As something comes closer (e.g. in the near future, or is physically closer to us), people go from thinking about broad, central, and abstract features to focusing on details, secondary features, and effort. As a result, a behavior such as saving money can be represented in a number of different ways.
Saving regularly for retirement.
Depositing 200 euros a month
into a 1.3% interest savings
account.
Far away in time
and space.
Close in time and
space.
