2020 Review on Mobile Banking Apps for Individuals in Europe - Featuring National Westminster Bank, Lloyds Bank & Barclays Bank Among Others - ResearchAndMarkets.com

·3-min read

The "Review of Mobile Banking Apps for Individuals in Europe 2018 - Market Analysis and Trends, Rating, 300+ Best Practices" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This report is an independent study of European mobile banking for individuals.

Mobile banking apps in 10 countries were selected for the study:

  • 5 largest European economies: Great Britain, Germany, Spain, Italy and France

  • 5 European countries where more than 90% of the population use digital banking services: Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway, Finland and Sweden

In each country, mobile apps from the largest retail and digital banks were selected - i.e. those most likely to contain a high concentration of best practices and solutions. The study also included 5 international digital banks currently operating in several European countries.

Altogether, 53 banks and all their mobile applications for iPhone and Android smartphones participated in the study.

Data was acquired via agents residing in the countries included in the study. The agents set up their accounts and forwarded their access to mobile banking to the publishing team's experts.

More than 300 best practices relating to the implementation of various users' tasks in mobile banking were acquired during the study. Some of these best practices can be directly implemented into the mobile banking application, while others serve as a benchmark or inspiration.

  • Simeone pleased as benched Joao Felix makes 'big impact'

    VILA-REAL, Spain (Reuters) - Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone heaped praised on Joao Felix after the 21-year-old responded to being benched for Sunday's match at Villarreal by scoring as a substitute to seal a badly-needed 2-0 win in La Liga. Atletico's 126-million-euro ($152 million) forward was excluded from the starting lineup for the second time in three matches and had been largely ineffective when he did start in Tuesday's 1-0 defeat to Chelsea in the Champions League. He was introduced at the start of the second half with his side a goal up against Villarreal and settled their nerves with an instinctive volley, scoring for the first time since late January.

    Qualifying for next season's Champions League remains AC Milan's main focus even though they are also in the running to secure the Serie A title for the first time in a decade following a 2-1 win at AS Roma on Sunday, coach Stefano Pioli said. The Rossoneri topped the league standings until two weeks ago, and Sunday's thrilling win in Rome made sure the gap with Inter, who lead by four points, did not get any wider. Pioli suggested that moving eight points clear of Roma in fifth place could be more significant for his side in the final few months of the season.

  • Japanese companies go high-tech in the battle against food waste

    Japanese companies are ramping up the use of artificial intelligence and other advanced technology to reduce waste and cut costs in the pandemic, and looking to score some sustainability points along the way. Disposing of Japan's more than 6 million tonnes in food waste costs the world's No.3 economy some 2 trillion yen ($19 billion) a year, government data shows. With the highest food waste per capita in Asia, the Japanese government has enacted a new law to halve such costs from 2000 levels by 2030, pushing companies to find solutions.

  • Trump Says He May Run for President in 2024 at CPAC

    Former President Trump said Sunday that he may run for president a third time in 2024, and said the Supreme Court “should be ashamed of themselves” for refusing to overturn President Biden’s victory. Trump spoke for well over an hour, after arriving more than an hour late, at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando, […]

  • Trump returns to political stage, hints at 2024 run at conservative conference

    Donald Trump returned to the spotlight Sunday telling enthusiastic conservatives that he may run for president again in 2024, as he sought to reassert his dominance over a Republican Party that is out of power. The 74-year-old addressed the Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando in a highly-anticipated keynote speech.But while he teased his future plans, he left the crowd guessing about whether he will challenge President Joe Biden in a rematch."Actually you know they just lost the White House," Trump said of Democrats, again promoting the falsehood that Trump was denied a second term because of election fraud."But who knows -- who knows?" he boomed. "I may even decide to beat them for a third time, OK?"Banned from Twitter and other social media, Trump has maintained a low profile at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida since he left the White House on January 20. At the CPAC event, he walked out on stage to revel in a lengthy standing ovation by cheering loyalists, the vast majority maskless despite the coronavirus pandemic."The incredible journey we began together... is far from being over," Trump said of his populist movement. "And in the end, we will win."Trump also put to rest the rumors that he might take his base of support to create a new political party."I am not starting a new party," Trump said. "We have the Republican Party. It's going to unite and be stronger than ever before."Trump as expected took swipes at Biden, saying the Democrat just concluded "the most disastrous first month" of any modern president.But he also painted America as a land divided."Our security, our prosperity and our very identity as Americans is at stake," he said, in a rambling speech that attacked immigrants, slammed "cancel culture," and criticised Biden policies on climate change, energy, and election integrity.'Cautionary note' US political parties usually face a reckoning after a string of setbacks such as those the Republicans saw under four years of Trump: losing the White House, the Senate and the House of Representatives.The party is also marked with Trump's repeated lies about his election loss, his impeachment over inciting the US Capitol riot on January 6, and the faultline his actions have caused between establishment Republicans and pro-Trump populists.But, instead of jettisoning its troubled leader and charting a new path to claw back relevance, much of the party still sees Trump as retaining a vice-like grip on its future. It is a perception he has encouraged, setting himself up as a vindictive Republican kingmaker. On Friday he endorsed an ex-aide against an Ohio congressman who voted to impeach him.At least at CPAC, enthusiasm for Trump remained sky high. Attendees posed next to a shiny gold-colored statue of the former president, and cheers rose up whenever panelists praised him.In a straw poll conducted at the conference and released just before Trump's speech, nearly seven in 10 respondents said they want him to run again.On future direction for the party, support for Trumpism was rock solid, with 95 percent of respondents wanting to continue Trump's policies and agenda.But when asked who they prefer as the party's nominee in 2024, a moderate 55 percent chose Trump, with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, the de facto CPAC host, was a distant second with 21 percent.Respected Republican strategist Karl Rove said he would have expected a stronger result for Trump, especially at a confab that appears so supportive of the ex-president."I'd take that as a cautionary note," Rove said on Fox News."He needs to refresh his act."For some Republicans like Senator Bill Cassidy, who voted to convict Trump in the impeachment trial, moving on from the brash billionaire is critical."We've got to win in two years, we've got to win in four years," Cassidy told CNN's State of the Union."We'll do that by speaking to those issues important to the American people -- and there's a lot of issues important to them right now -- not by putting one person on a pedestal."(AFP)

  • Sardegna zona bianca, regole: coprifuoco, ristoranti, bar

    Sardegna zona bianca da oggi, 1 marzo, con nuove regole per ristoranti, bar, coprifuoco. La regione è la prima a entrare nella fascia con misure e restrizioni più soft, grazie ai risultati ottenuti nel contrasto alla diffusione del coronavirus. Nelle ultime 24 ore sono stati segnalati 77 casi di coronavirus e altri 5 morti. I tamponi sono stati 2.510 per un totale di 761.789 test. In tutto nell'isola i positivi sono stati 41.191. Il tasso di positività è del 3%. "La riapertura sarà graduale", ha spiegato il governatore Christian Solinas. Cosa cambierà? "Fin da subito ci sarà la riapertura delle attività di ristorazione con la possibilità di apertura serale fino alle 23, i bar fino alle 21, riapertura nei fine settimana dei centri commerciali. Stiamo studiando uno slittamento del coprifuoco con la limitazione al solo stazionamento e alla sosta presso piazza, lungomare, in modo che si possa circolare liberamente", le parole di Solinas, dal sito della regione, prima della firma dell'ordinanza. Il raggiungimento della zona bianca "è un grande risultato in questa battaglia col virus, dobbiamo sentire la responsabilità di mantenere questo risultato e non dobbiamo abbassare la guardia". Alle prime riaperture, potranno seguirne altre se la curva dei contagi rimarrà sotto controllo. "Se nel corso della prima settimana di allentamento vedremo indicatori con segno positivo procederemo con la riapertura di palestre, piscine e scuole di danza, fino al ritorno alla tanto agognata nuova normalità", ha spiegato Solinas. Il presidente della Regione ha quindi chiesto al premier Mario Draghi "un impegno straordinario per poter avviare una grande campagna vaccinale immediata che porti, nell'arco dei prossimi 30-40 giorni, a poter vaccinare tutta la popolazione sarda". "La Sardegna è la prima regione del Paese ad aver raggiunto la zona bianca, può diventare un laboratorio, un modello per tutta Italia, visto anche il ridotto numero della popolazione", ha aggiunto Il governatore sardo conferma la volontà di prevedere da subito un sistema di controlli per l'accesso nell'Isola. "Il modello proposto un anno fa - ricorda - oggi è diventato una linea di tendenza internazionale, che anche l'Ue sta perseguendo. E' necessario che oggi, che abbiamo conquistato la zona bianca, ci sia un sistema di controllo degli accessi nei porti e negli aeroporti, che certifichi che chi arriva non porti con sé il virus. Quindi, serve una certificazione del test o l'esecuzione di un test rapido una volta giunti in Sardegna".
