"We're seeing double-digit growth in our clients' use of consumer mobile banking, and we know our commercial clients have increasing interest in mobile," said Matthew D. Lehman, head of KeyBank's Community Bank online and mobile banking. KeyBank's mobile banking use increased by 45 percent between 2011 and 2012.

Jordan M. Olack, senior vice president, Product Management of KeyBank Enterprise Commercial Payments, said research shows that business owners of all sizes and needs increasingly see electronic payments as a way to boost cash flow, increase payment security and lower cost.

"More business owners, particularly owners of small businesses, use mobile devices to manage their business matters," Olack said. "These business owners want banking service that matches how they do business."
