vnext global digital banking advantages and disadvantages

Like anything in the world, digital banking has several benefits as well as some drawbacks. Digital  banking allows you to use the internet to access banking services, transfer funds domestically and internationally, pay bills, and invest in mutual funds. However, when becoming a user of digital banking, you may face the risk of cybercrime.

Digital banking is a fantastic invention, considered the game changer of the banking industry. Digital banking has changed the way we carry out bank transactions, because we can now access almost all types of banking services via a mobile device with Internet access. In this article, VNEXT Global will suggest some pros and cons of digital banking in this digital world.
 

 

Digital Banking Advantages

Here are some of the most remarkable advantages of digital banking:

 

1. Transferring Money

You can transfer money from one account to another using internet banking. You can initiate both domestic and international interbank fund transfers. Using money transfer channels such as NEFT (National Electronic Funds Transfer), RTGS (Real-time gross settlement), and IMPS (Immediate Payment Service), you can send funds to beneficiaries within a short time, like an hour.

You can pay utility bills such as electricity, telephone, and gas from the comfort of your own home and set up auto-debit options to never miss a payment. You can also use your digital banking account to easily recharge your mobile and DTH connections.

2. Must-have Internet access
