MOBILE BANKINGFederal Reserve Update:

Mobile Banking Use Continues to Rise

(continued on Page 12)Bankers DigestTIB 1/3 pg ad2016

Mobile bank-ing use con-tinued to rise in 2015 as smartphone a d o p t i o n grew and con-

sumers were increasingly drawn to the convenience of mobile financial ser-vices, according to a Federal Reserve Board of Governors (“Board”) report, “Consumers and Mobile Financial Ser-vices 2016,” released on March 30. The report documents consumers’ use of mobile phones--Internet-en-abled smartphones as well as more basic phones with limited features--as they bank and carry out financial activ-ities. It is the Board’s fifth annual look at how consumers use mobile phones to access banking services (“mobile banking”), make payments, transfer money, or pay for goods and services (“mobile payments”), and inform fi-nancial decisions, as well as their rea-sons for using these services. As of November 2015, 43% of adults with mobile phones and bank ac-counts reported using mobile bank-ing--an increase of 4 percentage points from the prior year’s survey. The most common way that consumers use mo-bile banking is checking their account balances or recent transactions, fol-lowed by transferring money between accounts. More than half of mobile banking users received an alert from their financial institution through a text message, push notification, or e-mail--making this the third most com-mon use of mobile banking. For those who have adopted mo-bile banking, use of a mobile phone appears to complement their use of other banking channels. Among mo-bile banking users with smartphones,

54% cited the mobile channel as one of the three most important ways they interact with their bank. This share is below those that cited online (65%) and ATM (62%) as most important, but slightly above the share that cited a teller at a branch (51%). Use of mobile payments contin-ues to be less common than use of mobile banking. Twenty-four percent of all mobile phone users, and 28% of smartphone users, made a mobile payment in the 12 months prior to the survey. For smartphone owners who reported making payments with their phones, the most common types of mobile payments were paying bills, purchasing a physical item or digi-tal content remotely, and paying for something in a store. Use of mobile financial services varies across demographic groups. For particular groups of respondents to the 2015 survey--such as younger adults, Hispanics, and non-Hispanic blacks--the shares who reported us-ing mobile banking and mobile pay-ments were higher than the overall

survey averages. Smartphone owner-ship among those with mobile phones is higher for Hispanics than for non-Hispanic whites in this survey. Consistent with findings from prior years, a majority of consumers using mobile banking and mobile payments cite convenience or getting a smart-phone as their main reason for adop-tion. The main impediments to the adoption of mobile financial services continue to be a stated preference for other methods of banking and making payments, as well as concerns about security. Concerns about the security and pri-vacy of personal information continue to be expressed by mobile phone us-ers, and the majority of smartphone users reported taking actions that can reduce harm in case of a security inci-dent. The most common actions were installing updates, password-protect-ing the phone, and customizing pri-vacy settings. The survey was conducted on behalf of the Board by GfK, an online con-

First Bank create a unique identity in the markets they currently serve and to better po-sition the bank for expansion and growth. “In North-west Arkansas there are a lot of banks with similar

names,” Harrell stated. “We wanted a name that would stand out and at the same time it was important to us to not lose sight of our roots.” He continued, “Generations Bank was founded in 1907 as Calhoun County Bank by my great grandfather and his uncle. I represent the 5th gen-eration of our family in banking, and we are proudly serving our 5th and 6th generation of banking customers. We believe that Generations Bank is the perfect name for us, and we believe that name will take us into the next century.” “Generations Bank’s history is unique in and of itself. We were the only bank in Calhoun County to sur-vive the Great Depression. We were the first bank to open a branch in a grocery store and first to have a drive-through teller window in South Arkan-sas. In addition, some people might find it interesting to know we are the only bank in the United States that has been featured on “Ripley’s Believe it or Not” because we had a fence built around the bank in the early 1900’s to keep the livestock out. That’s definite-ly unique!”, Harrell added. First Bank reported $383 million in total assets as of December 31, 2015. The full-service community bank pro-vides an array of loan and deposit products for individuals and busi-nesses, as well as online and cash management services. It has nine lo-cations serving Hampton, Junction City, Camden and East Camden, Rog-ers, Siloam Springs, Van Buren, and Fayetteville. New signage at the nine locations was available on April 4.

First Bank, the wholly-owned sub-sidiary bank of Harrell Bancshares Inc. headquartered in Camden, has an-nounced that First Bank has rebranded and changed its name to Generations Bank. Customers can see the new signage and rebranding at

each of its nine banking locations. According to Jon Harrell, chair-

man, this is a name change only. The own-ership, management, and staff of the bank will remain the same.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Cor-poration (FDIC) on April 6 rescinded Financial Institution Letter (FIL) 50-2009, Enhanced Supervisory Proce-dures for Newly Insured FDIC-Super-vised Depository Institutions. The FIL, among other measures, extended the de novo period for newly organized, state nonmember institu-tions from three to seven years for examinations, capital maintenance, and other requirements. It was issued against the backdrop of an elevated number of newly insured institutions that had either failed or had been identified as problem banks during the financial crisis of the last decade. Since the issuance of the guidance, the FDIC has adopted regulations and guidance that apply to all supervised institutions to strengthen their resil-iency and risk-management practices. Further, the FDIC has enhanced its programs and procedures through a more forward-looking approach to su-pervision. Collectively, the processes and guidance address the supervisory objectives of the 2009 FIL. “The entry of new banks has helped to preserve the vitality of the community banking sector over time,” FDIC Chair-man Martin J. Gruenberg said on April 4 at a conference hosted by the FDIC to discuss community banking. “De novo institutions fill important gaps in our local banking markets, providing credit and services to communities that may be overlooked by larger institutions. The FDIC welcomes applications for deposit insurance.” Also on April 4, the FDIC issued a sup-plement, (FIL) 24-2016, to its November 20, 2014, through (FIL) 56-2014 guidance related to the Statement of Policy on Applications for Deposit Insurance. The guidance is in a Q & A format to aid ap-plicants who are developing proposals/business plans for deposit insurance.
