Imagine waiting in a queue in bank
for transferring money in the account, to go to the ATM to just check
the available balance in the account or to get the transaction history.
All these activities are becoming outdated as the boom of mobile banking
came in the banking sector. We can see the explosive growth of mobile
usage in most of the Asian economies like India, China and Korea. The
ratio says that there are more people who are having mobile phones than
the people having their bank accounts.
Although
the Internet banking is also helpful for customers to check out their
account details, to perform transactions, to get their bank statements,
and to pay their bills sitting comfortably in their homes or office, PC
with Internet connection is required while accessing to bank accounts,
so it is the main difficulty of Internet banking in developing countries
like India, China and Korea.
Mobile
banking requires just your smart phone with a mobile banking app, which
is easy to access in a secured manner. “The biggest benefit is that you
have more control of your money,” says James Van Dyke, president of
Javelin Strategy and Research in Pleasanton, Calif.
Nowadays,
banks prefer mobile platforms for innovative payment models and
commerce capabilities. For instance, the American multinational bank
‘Bank of America’ launched a new mobile app that lets customers view
their current balance, spot the location of the nearest ATM and banking
centres, as well as payments and transfer calendars to check and manage
your outgoing payments and transfers each month.
The
Bank of America is not the only bank which is introducing the latest
features in its mobile app, in India also many banks are becoming more
tech friendly to fulfil the financial requirements of their customers in
sophisticated as well as easy way. Many banks are launching their apps
which helpful to make online transactions, pay bills, recharge mobile
phones through mobiles and with many more features, as they realised the
convenience of mobile banking app in giving services to their customers
as well as in decreasing the requirement of manpower in the banking
industry.
