Banks have a big advantage here; they have detailed information about customers’ buying habits and banks are more trusted to secure private customer information. Banks have a big opportunity to capitalize on this trend and leverage their advantages as end-to-end payment providers. One example is to leverage their mobile applications and card services capabilities to include location-based offers and mobile wallet mechanisms. Banks are uniquely positioned to provide a complete, end-to-end offer presentment and payment solution that is both more personalized to the needs of the consumer and tied to the existing merchant and payment ecosystems banks dominate today.
