As human lives improved and advanced, banking technology had also had to improve to keep up with customers whose lives are continually on the go. Online banking refers to any banking transaction conducted over the internet. It is normally done through a bank’s website under a private profile and with a desktop or laptop computer. These transactions include services that are traditionally offered at local branches without having to go to a bank. Customers can perform financial transactions while banking online such as paying bills, transferring money from one account to another and so many others.

 

Mobile banking on the other hand allows you to perform many of these same services using a smartphone or tablet rather than a computer. Mobile banking allows you to log into a bank’s website, use a bank’s mobile banking application or even SMS banking. Banks mobile apps offers a wide range of services such as account access, making mobile deposits, money transfer and so on.
