Research and Markets ( http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/2d9a80/2008_online_bankin) has announced the addition of Javelin Strategy & Research's new report "2008 Online Banking and Bill Payment Forecast: Financial Crisis Makes It More Vital Than Ever to Target Online Channel" to their offering.

Whether banks and credit unions weather - or even survive - the worst banking crisis since the Depression is likely to depend on their ability to grow their assets. Unsettled by bank failures, anxious Americans have taken a flight to safety that has left many financial institutions struggling to attract and retain deposits. But industry tumult and fearful times create an opportunity for banks and credit unions with online-banking services that satisfy the consumers' craving for financial control, tools to monitor and protect their accounts, and a means to consolidate their financial relationships. Now, more than ever, financial institutions must provide customers with - and actively promote - a robust, useful online-banking platform that will help customers better manage, monitor and move their money on a daily basis.
