About the report
This report is the Fourth Edition in Mapa Research’s
Tablet Banking Series. The series is aimed at monitoring
the innovations and evolution of banking services that are
launched in relation to tablets - from products and features
to the promotion of financial services products.
This Edition covers a review of how the market has
changed since the third Edition, and will give you an
unrivalled insight into innovative features within tablet
apps that have been launched by banks in a range of
countries, and, of course, will include Mapa Research’s
commentary on the key findings, trends and predictions for
the future. A selected case study, and our Mapa Research
blueprint for success is also provided.

What are the key platform trends?
The surge of the iPad – continuing to lead the tablet market
• 84 million iPads have been sold in the 24 months since Apple’s tablet first
appeared. That makes it more successful in terms of sales rate than the
iPhone (3 years to 55 million) and much more successful that the iPod 2
• Between April and June 2012, 17 million iPads were sold globally far
surpassing the sales figures for Mac and iPhones 3
Expanding outside the iPad
• Although the iPad continues to dominate the market, there has been
growth in Android-type tablet devices over 2012, as Mapa observed over
the last year a spike in the number of apps for Android tablets. In Q4 of
2012, Android and Windows tablets outnumbered Apples sales, 22.1
million vs. 21 million 1
• However, Q1 of 2013 is expected to be very different, with relative sales of
Android tablets down nearly 50%, largely driven by demand for the iPad
mini 1
• In 2012 Citi became the first bank to release an app for the Kindle device.
While the app has similar features to the iPad app, it was build exclusively
for the Kindle Fire.
Household penetration
• Penetration of tablets within households in developed countries ranges
between 7%-21%, with the US, Canada and Australia leading the way.
While these statistics date from 2012, it is expected that this number is
currently higher as a result of the holiday season. 4
.
The tablet market has continued to grow significantly since the last Mapa tablet report, with tablet sales in Q1 of 2013 up 75.8% year-on-year 1

The key areas covered in this section are described below and on the following page. These are areas in which Mapa has tracked significant
development since the 3rd Edition.
The Supply (cont’d)4
Tailored experience
Personalisation
Perhaps the most evident focus for innovation. Personalisation is used to
achieve a number of aims, including the reduction of time taken to
undertake transactions, and greater organisation through personal
reminders.
Personal Finance Management (PFM)
PFM tools continue to be an area for significant development. The key
innovation around PFM is certainly the level of personalisation which
ranges from adding photos, customising spend categories and tracking
spend by geography. Furthermore, banks are keen to emphasise data
visualisation
Incorporating the branch
Advisor and customer support access
Integrating this core function, generally confined to the telephone and
branch channels, provides assurance to customers who are increasingly
transacting in the tablet channel.
Increasing revenue
Banks are now leveraging cross-selling opportunities, primarily in the form
of discounts and information on other products or services both (in the
secure and public space). Previously Mapa reported a lack of product and
service marketing

Jyske Bank (DK): In the secure space, customers can personalise widgets on the left-hand side. The bookshelf design similar to iBooks –with each
icon resembling a feature (e.g. accounts, transfer money, pay a bill and sharedealing). If swiping to the right the full widget layout becomes visible.
(See full widget layout on next page). If tapping the bank logo bottom right they are directed to the desktop site which is built using responsive

The Supply – Personalisation4 Sample page from report

Jyske Bank (DK): The app has dedicated advisor information including an image and contact details. This page includes a ’send email’ option,
opening up the email client. Furthermore customers can find contact numbers for blocking a debit or credit card. This is another example of
providing reassurance that access to a dedicated advisor is available. Furthermore, by providing a direct email address it provides the user with an
extra layer of convenience.
The Supply – Advisor access4 Sample page from report
- 7. BNP Paribas (FR): Customers can now personalise their home screen with pictures from their iPad photo library. In addition, customers can
categorise their transactions over a period of more than 3 months and segment their transactions into 27 different categories.

drop it into a transaction category (transfer funds and external payments).

funds or make payments from
Customers can chose their payee either by

purchase category. This is a unique feature catering to those who use tablets for “browsing.”
