Propelled by convenience, consumer incentives, and "deflating security concerns," the number of consumers using online banking grew to 40 million in the last quarter of last year--marking a 27 percent
increase from 2004, according to a new report by comScore Networks. At the same time, the rate of adoption appears to be slowing. The last three months of 2005 saw just 3.1 percent
quarter-over-quarter growth--the smallest in three years, according to the report.
