Methodology
This report is based mainly on data collected online from a random sample panel of 5,211 households in March 2010. The survey targeted respondents based on representative proportions of gender, age and income compared to the overall U.S. online population. Overall margin of sampling error is ±1.36% at the 95% confidence level.
This report is also based on data collected online from a random sample panel of 3,000 respondents with mobile phones in July 2009, with an overall margin of sampling error of ±1.79 percentage points at the 95% confidence level.
The data in this report is further based on information collected during April and May 2010. A total of four FIs and 12 vendors were surveyed, and executive interviews were conducted. The 12 vendors were analyzed on a ten point scale, with 6 points allocated to product functionality, security, and back office channel management. Three points were allocated to methods of access provided. One point was given if the vendor had a strategic partnership in place with organizations that can assist the vendor with sales and implementation of their offerings.
The six points that analyze product functionality, security, and back office and channel management are broken down as follows. Product functionality (60%), security (20%), and back office and channel management (20%). A one through six score was applied in regards to the above weighted score by the following criteria.
- 0 points: More than two standard deviations lower than the mean
- 1 point: More than one standard deviation lower than the mean
- 2 points: Less than one standard deviation lower than the mean
- 3 points: Equal to the mean
- 4 points: Less than one standard deviation above the mean
- 5 points: More than one standard deviation from the mean
- 6 points: More than two standard deviations from the mean
The majority of Javelin data for online banking financial alerts is based on “online households” vs. “individual consumers.” This is a typical way of presenting online banking data because account management is typically collected on a per-household basis.
In 2009, the U.S. population was estimated to comprise 307 million people. That includes 232 million adults, 118 million households, and 87 million households that are online. On average, there are about 2.6 people per household. Javelin also collects online banking data using a base of all consumers for comparison purposes.
