Gene Lopez – Director, Business Development: Yodlee, Inc.
Online personal financial management (PFM)
With signs that online banking adoption is beginning to plateau, online personal financial management (PFM) can be a differentiator that sparks increased customer interaction in the online channel. The financial institution's (FI) online banking site therefore becomes the customer's primary financial hub, driving new revenue opportunities for the FI. As online banking PFM solutions begin to mature and adoption within the Top 100 grows, other FIs need to consider these solutions to attract customers to the channel to manage their finances. From easy-to-use budgeting tools to pre-categorization of expenses to consolidation of accounts across financial institutions, Gene Lopez, Director of Business Development at Yodlee, Inc., will discuss strategies on how online PFM should be used and will share actual customer results that help drive the business case for adoption.

Challenging the status quo: new bill pay revenue opportunities
