Mobile banking is the process of carrying out financial transactions using your cell phone device. You essentially use a mobile banking app to access and manage your funds. Most banks in the country offer dedicated apps that are available on both Google Play Store and Apple App Store to help you with your banking needs.
Mobile banking, or m-banking as it is alternatively called, is one of the most popular modern banking methods.
