Mass Affluents: Channel Use in Singapore

Singaporean mass affluents tend to be older, and thus are slightly more conservative when it comes to digital advancement in banking. They are also more loyal than their retail counterparts. This consumer segment is very comfortable with the online channel and providers will need to maintain a user-friendly platform to meet the banking needs of the mass affluent segment. Security measures overall, but particularly with mobile banking, inhibit adoption. Providers that can allay these concerns will have an advantage in appealing to this segment.
