By Maria Bruno-Britz, Bank Systems & Technology

Within the span of just a few days, my inbox has been inundated with announcements related to new mobile banking/payments initiatives. Although consumers may not be quite as ready as proponents of this banking/payments channel claim they are, banks, telecoms and others are certainly making it clear that they’ll convince people to use mobile for more than just talking one way or another.

By Nancy Feig

"If Paris Hilton can have her Sidekick hacked, how safe am I?" This comes from my (highly educated) friend when asked if she would try mobile banking. Another response: "I'm not that rich that I need to keep track of my accounts every minute. I'd rather play Tetris."
