About RFG’s national consumer research
Financial institutions receive national consumer research through RFG’s Strategic Planning Study Group (SPSG), a marketing research program consisting of semi-annual consumer surveys on current industry topics derived from RFG’s research process.
Based upon 1,155 survey responses of a randomly drawn sample of members of a nationally representative direct mail panel, the consumer responses used in this study were weighted to reflect the nation’s demographic composition. The study’s confidence interval for any proportion gathered in the survey is in a range of 1.7% to 2.9% at the 95% level of confidence.

They don’t see the benefits of “mobile wallets” today, primarily because they don’t understand them. And people hate change. But mobile payments are an inevitability — one that consumers will ultimately come to appreciate.
