The most prominent advantage of mobile banking is that it allows you to access your bank account from anywhere, any time. Whether you are at home, in your office, or on vacation in some remote corner of the world, you can keep a tab on your bank account 24x7. All you need is a stable and secure internet connection to view your account balances, check past transactions and download account statements.
Transferring funds using your mobile banking app is easier than ever through electronic fund transfer systems like NEFT, RTGS, IMPS and UPI. You can send money between bank accounts in India and overseas at the tap of a few buttons. Banks levy nominal fund transfer fees and even offer waivers on fund transfers.
A critical mobile banking feature is that you can make all sorts of payments directly through your mobile banking apps. For instance, you can set up billers and pay all types of utility bills. Similarly, you can repay your loan EMIs, recharge your mobile and DTH devices, repay your credit card dues, etc. You can set up standing instructions for recurring payments and auto-enable bill payments before the due date.
Most banks offer facilities to manage your investments through their mobile banking apps. You can invest in mutual funds, create a contingency fund for medical and financial emergencies, and open fixed and recurring term deposit accounts directly through the app.
Time-saving mobile banking benefits include access to customer support. You can launch the app to consult with bank representatives. The customer service department attempts to address your queries or grievances and resolve them quickly.
Mobile banking apps are geared to ensure your account details are stored securely. Banks provide multi-stage security features such as login passcodes and biometric facilities to encrypt your app and safeguard your critical banking information. You cannot make fund transfers without OTPs, and you also get SMS alerts on initiating transactions or receiving payments.
Mobile Banking has transitioned from an additional service to an essential one. The numerous mobile banking features make your banking experience convenient and time-saving.
