Virtual banking advantages and challenges nowadays
Virtual banking refers
to the act of accessing banking institutions and their functions online without
having to make a physical appearance at the banking hall. It entails making
various banking services available via extensive use of IT without the need for
the physical walk-in.
Virtual banking offers
several advantages, including:
- Comparative reduction
in fees and elevated interest rates in contrast to traditional banks.
- Heightened convenience
and flexibility for customers in managing their financial affairs.
- Expedited and
simplified transactions and transfers.
- Strengthened security
measures and enhanced privacy features to safeguard customer information.
However, virtual
banking also presents certain challenges, such as:
- Absence of direct
personal interaction and in-depth customer service experiences.
- Restricted
availability of cash and limited access to automated teller machines
(ATMs).
- Higher risk of
cyberattacks and fraud
- Regulatory and compliance issues
