Background

Over half of US adults already have smartphones, and Forrester Research predicts that by 2015 one in five US adults will be using mobile banking. If a financial institution doesn't offer the desired mobile services, it runs the risk of losing clients. But with such growth, we all know that the fraudsters won't be far behind.
