Tech Fact

Network Voice Protocol (NVP).
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. It took 2–3 days for the clearance
of cheques. If cheques were 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 computer, laptop and even your smartphone.
ATM facility 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 by way of:
• Less transaction cost • Less chances of human error
• Reduction in fixed infrastructure cost • Customer loyalty and satisfaction
• Reduced paper work
The customers are benefited by way of:
• Convenience of banking • No geographical restrictions
• Lower costs • Reduced chances of fraud
Modes of Payment
All the e-commerce websites provide various modes to make payment of the product or service that
you want to buy. Some of them are as follows:
• Debit or Credit Card: E-commerce websites allow us to make payment by using our credit or debit
card. We make payment by using the debit card which will be debited from the bank account. We
must have a sufficient balance in the bank account to complete the transaction. In case of credit
card, we are provided with a credit limit by the bank which we can use to purchase products. To
avoid the online fraud, each credit or debit card has a three digits unique secret Card Verification
