How technology has changed banking over the years


 E-banking, online banking, net banking, etc. have completely changed the way banking is done today. 

When was the last time you actually walked to your bank physically and spoke to the teller? Several days ago or perhaps weeks right? Technology has had a very big effect on almost every area of our lives. From the way we work to how we associate with others or how we entertain ourselves, technology has altered almost everything.The banking sector hasn't been left out either; the impact has been profound and has affected every part of banking from the way banks operate through to how clients access different banking services. Gone are the days of standing in endless lines to deposit or cash a check. Information is also now transferred and stored in a much more convenient and efficient way.

1. Online Banking

ONLINE BANKING is perhaps one of the biggest changes that has ever happened in the banking sector. Previously transferring money involved going to the bank physically and making the transfer, but now that is not the case. Today you can easily move money by just keying in your account details online to access your bank account and then making the transfer. This allows you to easily and quickly transfer, manage or check your money from virtually anywhere.It also means that money stays in the bank adding to the bank's cash reserves as you no longer need to get out physical cash to pay a bill or a debt. There are also banking apps and services like honestly now that allow users to easily find details about different services and details of banks.

2. ATM Machines

Can you imagine life without ATM to dispense your money on the spot whenever you need it? These devices grew in popularity in the mid 80's and there are now over 10 million of them globally.super ATM sell things like gift cards and stamps while Drive-thru Automatic vending machines make it more convenient for people to get their money. ATM have made life easier for almost everyone as they can be found anywhere: from bars to movie , hotels, grocery stores and more.

3. It has gone global

Another big change that has been brought about by technology is globalisation of the banking sector. For example, sometime back banks in New York and London were the only big financial hubs, but today banks in Sydney,   Beijing have all joined the fray. Banks throughout the world now enjoy global presence and are able to transact from anywhere at any time. They can operate across the globe, the cloud making it possible for them to share data easily and conveniently.

4. Financial Integration

Increased online activity in the banking sector has also attracted the attention of other players that are not in the banking sector. Many institutions now provide different banking services such as pay-day loans, prepaid credit cards, check cashing services and business loans for a fee. Other online services provided at banks are also available at such institutions.

5. 24-Hour Access

Online services allow consumers to access banking services throughout the day, 7 days a week. You can easily log in to your bank's site at anytime of the day and perform any transaction. This provides people with the convenience of conducting business on holidays and weekends when banks are closed.

  Empowerment Coach is not that common in India but according to me, here are the best 5 coaching institutes in India. 1. ALLEN ALLEN coaching was started on Apr 18, 1988, by Shri Rajesh Maheshwari with 8 students. The name has an interesting history to it. The father of Rajesh and the other 3 directors’ name is Late Laxmi Narayan Maheshwari which abbreviates to LN. “Allen” had a similar pronunciation and hence is the name! ALLEN’s uniqueness can be described by the fact that it used to provide coaching of all science subjects under one roof at that point in time. Since then, it has been breaking its own records by being a remarkable coaching institute. With 10 aspirants bagging their names in the list of top 25 and 15,107 students clearing JEE (Main), it has done a fantastic job.

My favourite travel destination in India

  Camping in Rishikesh might be the perfect vacation for some people but not me. The celestial city of Rishikesh is a hermit’s hermitage, a sage’s abode and an adventure lover’s hub. This lively city is among the holiest places of Hindus. The tranquil and sometimes raging river of Ganges flows in eternity in this holy city, providing nourishment and life to many the earthly beings. After having a rendezvous with Rishikesh, the river leaves the Shiva hills behind and flows into the plains of northern India.  The word Rishikesh literally suggests the ‘ locks or hairs of a sage ’. The city is famously known as the ‘ Gateway to the  Himalayas ' and the ‘ Yoga Capital of the World ’. Many locals, as well as foreign tourists, visit this place in the quest for spirituality and peace. Rishikesh is also a commercial as well as a communication hub that lavishly sprawls over the suburban area of the ‘sands of the sages’ Rishikesh Rafting     The thrilling adventure o...
