Mobile and Online Banking:
Mobile and online banking aren’t just great options for the obvious associated conveniences. If used properly, banking in this manner could provide you with even more security, and could also potentially improve your ability to monitor your finances. Real-time monitoring of your banking activity could help you from spending more than your available balance which can keep you from overdrafting your account.
Our Mobile and Online Banking module, located in the Financial Foundations playlist, provides eight best practices for staying secure, explains a mobile wallet and how to use it, and walks users through the general steps involved with enrolling in mobile and online banking services.
There are many features that might make mobile and online banking the right solution for your financial needs.
