How Americans Can Embrace Mobile Money More Safely
The Allstate Protection Plans Global Mobile Survey found that 71% of American smartphone owners rely on their phones for managing personal finances, paying bills, and related activities.
Nearly nine in 10 respondents have at least one payment app or service, while 14% said they had lost money through smartphone theft or fraud.
Sixty percent of respondents were concerned about identity theft through their phones or having their devices hacked.
If their phones were lost or stolen, respondents said they would most often lock or locate them remotely, change important passwords, or contact their mobile carriers.
