PFM will:
– Evolve into a central one-stop shop rather than a stand-
alone tab in online banking
– Include simplified interfaces (iPad influence)
– Allow bankers and customers to interactively collaborate
on a customer’s finances
‘Stickiness’ of PFM is very high; makes it more
difficult to switch banks

banks need to have technology that is flexible and easy
to deploy
Understanding what the customers want
– Banks have a wealth of customer data that needs to be
better leveraged to drive strategies
