However, the figure surged up to 10 folds in two-and-a-half years as more than 10 million customers use mobile banking-enabled handsets, reports Korea Times. However, there remain some barriers such as security concerns and disputes over standards. Usability, interoperability and security are major considerations in mobile banking."</i><br /><br />And how's this going in North America? Is anyone around here using their cellphone to do banking yet? I sure wish I could. Unfortunately, the banks are still not thinking of all the possible ways we could consume their services. Or perhaps they are, but they think we just aren't interested. Either way, it's a sorry state of affairs on in North America.
