Should we bank on our phones (literally). We can, but is it safe to? Experts say yes, as long as you do it cautiously. Read more in my presentation, created for Queen's University's course, FILM 315 (Digital Media Theory).

Is it safe tobank
on our phones?
As discussed by Sidney-Eve Matrix in her course
Digital Media Theory, FILM 315,
A rising trend of mobility is
IMMEDIACY
We are “moving at a greater velocity
due to mobile and social technologies…
we want our data and our connections
at hand, in real time…
NOW.”
Through the use of Apps
this ideal can occur.
In 2010, over 3,000,000,000
Apps were downloaded
In 2013, an estimated 29.5
billion dollars will be spent on Apps
These Apps immediately connect
us to:
social networks
(nearly 60% of the time people spend on mobile internet is spent on social
media sites)
And can even be used to
pay our bills.
9% of Canadian consumers have a mobile banking account
20% plan to start using one within the next year
Mobile Bankers
Online/In-Person Bankers
So why is managing money on a mobile phone a growing trend?
The #1 reason to mobile bank is…
It can be done anywhere at any time“Research suggests that consumers in this country would prefer to check their bank balances, transfer money, or pay their bills while sitting on their morning train commute or standing in line at the coffee shop rather than at their office
or home computer.”
But as we embrace efficiency and immediacy…
Are we neglecting safety?

Thus, there is a 1 in 10 chance that your smartphone,
with all your banking information, could end up in the hands of a
stranger.
"It's slightly more risky, similar to using a laptop at Starbucks," said Charlie Miller, a principal analyst at consultancy Independent Security Evaluators. "The biggest difference is you are carrying the thing around with you and are more likely to lose physical custody of it than a computer."
What can you do to be more cautious while banking on your phone?
“Mobile users should use their device PIN codes, download mobile apps only from their financial institution, switch Bluetooth off when not in use, and avoid lending their phone to strangers to minimize the chance of someone downloading a malicious app onto the device.”
“Mobile banking is secure and there's not really any cause for concern”
said Holland of Aite Group.
“This is the way of the future” said Sonia Baxendale (head of
CIBC’s consumer banking)
Do YOU access your bank accounts on your smart
phone?
