‘The Digital Money Management The People Want’ – ‘The Forrester Blog’
Stephen Walker says, “We at Forrester believe Digital Money Management, often referred to as Personal Financial Management (PFM), is the future of digital banking. But as we find in our new report, The State Of Digital Money Management 2014, available here, it doesn’t appear to be the present. Fewer than 22% of customers in the US and Europe have used a single money management feature in the last 90 days.
Why? It’s simple: most people just don’t want to manage their money. They don’t want to budget, as in doing any work. They don’t want insight, beyond one or two bite size chunks. And they don’t want to save. They may think they want to, so they’ll set up a savings goal, but most won’t stick with it. Even if they do, it’s not about the saving. It’s the buying – that’s the thing they actually want to do”.
