Produktbeschreibung
The number of older adults online is growing. They also account for a significant proportion of global wealth and are an important market demographic for banks and financial services. Older adults are however, less likely to adopt and use internet banking and online services than younger users. Barriers to adoption include physical and cognitive impairments, as well as issues regarding trust, anxiety and technophobia.

Understanding the impact of these design trends and practices can help us to facilitate the online needs of older adults and improve their uptake and use of internet banking and online financial services.
