Apply NowWhen did you last visit your bank to change your ATM PIN or update your personal details, such as your registered mobile number? It has been a while for many customers, thanks to the internet. E-banking comes naturally to customers when they need to resolve an issue with their bank or make a financial / non-financial transaction. Given its convenience, the types of E-banking and the problems that it has solved merits an assessment.
E-banking is an arrangement between a bank or a financial institution and its customers that enables encrypted transactions over the internet. Short for electronic banking, E-banking has various types that cater to customers' different requirements, which can be resolved online.
E-banking is also helpful for non-financial transactions such as changing your ATM PIN, getting a mini statement, updating your personal details, balance inquiry or printing an account statement. Essentially, it refers to any transaction that doesn't involve any movement of funds to or from your account.
The major types of E-banking are online internet banking, mobile banking, automated teller machine (ATM), and debit and credit cards. There's a good chance you've already heard about most of these. However, let's understand each and how they cater to different customer requirements.
Internet banking and E-banking are almost synonymous, except the latter is a broader term encompassing the former. Any transaction – financial or non-financial – that you make over through a web page (generally the bank's website) or a web application constitutes internet banking.
You can experience banking at your fingertips with IDFC FIRST Bank's internet banking services, which facilitate easy transfers, quick bill payments and access to loan details. On the other hand, mobile banking happens through your mobile phone via a bank's mobile banking app.
IDFC FIRST Bank enhances your mobile banking experience with SMS, WhatsApp, and video banking.
Credit and debit cards are a form of E-banking, too! Debit cards can help us easily withdraw cash from ATMs and POS (Point of Scale) machines. On the other hand, credit cards allow customers to borrow funds up to a pre-approved limit and help them avail a range of offers.
ATM was the first E-banking service provided by banks when they started going digital. An ATM makes the process of withdrawing and depositing money convenient.
EDI is a technology that is restricted to business transactions. It is used to improve operational efficiency and reduce transaction costs across a supply chain consisting of manufacturers, suppliers, logistics providers, retailers, and wholesalers, etc. EDI has succeeded in making transactions across businesses paperless and seamless.
An EFT is used to electronically transfer money from one bank account to another. Some examples of EFT are National Electronic Funds Transfer (NEFT), Immediate Payment Service (IMPS) and Real-Time Gross Settlement (RTGS). Hence, E-banking comprises a range of different mediums of transacting online.
E-banking enables digital payments which are secure, transparent, and fast. In addition, E-banking allows you to access your bank account whenever you want to. Add to this the benefit of lower transaction costs on transactions made through E-banking. The instant notifications are also a plus, as they help you know everything about your bank account in real-time.
