Is mobile banking the future of digital banking?

With the ever growing access to smart phones, more and more consumers are choosing to go mobile. Banking services have been made easier with the growing use of online banking. Mobile banking apps offer several advantages over the online banking system. Apart from completely changing the traditional banking scenario, mobile banking is fast becoming the new future of digital banking after online banking.

Here are some of the benefits you can enjoy through the mobile banking app today:

Manage banking better:

Traditional banking process requires you to go to the bank to make any transaction, even for something as simple as depositing or withdrawing money. ATMs made this easier, and online banking brought these activities right into the comfort of your home. However, with mobile banking, you have much easier access to your funds from anywhere and at any time. Just log into your account with your unique customer ID and password and make the required transaction. This takes away the need to be present near a computer.

Simple banking tasks:

For simple banking tasks like checking balances and transactions, you would have to go to the nearest ATM, or open your computer, log in and perform the task. This is tedious and time-consuming. However, with the mobile banking system, you can do this within seconds wherever you are. The mobile banking app is used to sign into your bank account, and you have direct access to your banking account history, transactions made, as well as the final balance, right at your fingertips.

Get real-time alerts:

The mobile banking apps are designed to track all the activity of your bank account. These include activities like funds in the account reaching a particular value or a certain amount of funds being withdrawn or deposited, etc. Since the app is directly linked to the account through the ever-present internet network, you can get instant alerts. Developers have designed the apps to provide real-time alerts for selected activities, allowing you to customize the alerts to your preference. As your mobile is portable and you can carry it around with you, you are instantly updated about your account wherever you are.

Greater security:

In order to access your bank account through mobile banking apps, you need to sign in with a unique customer ID and password, which you can change later. Keep your login details to yourself, and no other person can have to access your account. In the unfortunate event, you lose your mobile, your account will still be protected, as your personal information is password protected. At the same time, it is secured by other additional identity confirmations, like fingerprints, facial recognition, etc. Some devices and apps also have features with which you can remotely wipe out all your login details in such cases.
