Less women visiting online banking sites

  Banking websites attracted about 293,500 home Internet users in July, up from 195,000 in January 2001, according to the latest figures from Internet intelligence company, NetValue.

  The latest figure represented about 30.3% of the Internet population in Singapore.

  Singapore ranked eighth in reach across a comparison of 12 European and Asian countries monitored by NetValue.  Sweden topped the list with 54.1 percent of its Internet population having visited online banking sites in July 2001.  This was trailed by Norway and Denmark with incidences of 48.1 percent and 44.0 percent, respectively. 

  The online banking sector registered a reach of 39.2 percent of the Korean Internet population during the same period, just ahead of the UK (37.2 percent) and France (34.6 percent).  Italy trailed in a distant with a reach of 12.5 percent.

About 300,000 Singaporeans Turning To Online Banking

  “When the focus was shifted to the actual number of visitors, Korea topped the chart with its massive Internet population base.  Accordingly, 5.6 million people visited online banking sites compared to 293,500 Singaporeans in July 2001.”  Said Dr. Jack Loo, Country Manager of NetValue (Singapore).

  Interestingly, the Italians registered the highest time spent at the online banking sites with an average of about 42.3 minutes per Internet user in July 2001.  The Koreans and Taiwanese, on the other hand, spent the least time at the sector with an average of about 16 minutes per Internet user. 

  “Singaporeans spent an average of 26.6 minutes at online banking sites, a decline from the 31.0 minutes registered in January 2001.”  Said Dr. Loo.  “Perhaps people are getting used to the sites and could quickly locate their source.”
