Mortgage comparison goes mobile

摘要

Online mortgage comparison site TomorrowFinance is developing a mobile version of its product. According to co-founder Mitch Fraser, in 2010 only about one in a hundred visitors to its site used a mobile device -today that figure is closer to one in ten. The company is using HTML5 to develop a mobile optimised website which it hopes will be ready around Christmas. Australians are avid users of mobile devices. Research conducted by Frost & Sullivan shows that two thirds of Australians aged 15-65 now own a smartphone. The majority of smartphone users - 57% - use them for bank-related activities. According to Google's international research, when compared with other nationalities Australians are particularly comfortable conducting financial activities from a smartphone.
