E-BANKING
The technology has paced many steps. We can now transfer money online from one bank account to
another. In earlier days, cheques were used to transfer money and it took 2–3 days for the clearance. If
cheques spoiled, mutilated, and lost, then the transfer took more time as a fresh cheque was required
again. With e-banking, you can transfer funds easily from one account to another through a computer,
laptop, and even your smartphone.
ATM is also a part of e-banking where you can withdraw cash from any of the ATM machines, and the
amount will be debited from your bank account automatically.
E-banking is useful for bankers as well as customers. The bankers are benefited in several ways:
Less transaction cost Less chances of human error
Reduction in fixed infrastructure costs Customer loyalty and satisfaction
Reduced paper work
