Educate consumers on the security of mobile banking and mobile money transfer

In this day and age, most people have mobile phones. These cell phones are a must for the modern man. They can be used to make calls, send emails, play games, and send text messages. Many companies have integrated special templates into their websites to allow access from mobile phones, providing convenience for those on the go or extremely busy working outdoors. The banking industry has invested heavily in mobile banking for its customers and analysts have continued to analyze how this process is being received in the community.

The big banks want to give their customers easy access to their accounts and thus an impetus to use mobile banking. Customers using their mobile phones for banking needs save banks a ton of money in employee related costs. Therefore, banks have made it their priority to ensure that mobile banking security is guaranteed for customers to use the app on their phones. There have been mixed reviews of mobile banking. Some people are not comfortable using cell phones as they feel they can be hacked and have their personal information taken from them. Others feel that the phone screen size is small and prefer to use a personal computer.

Mobile phones can be lost and all the personal information they contain can be used to steal bank account information. Therefore, banks have worked hard to ensure that mobile banking security is encrypted and safe for consumers. The good news for customers is that any fraudulent transaction on a person’s account will be fully refunded if their account is compromised.

Mobile phones can be used to purchase goods over the Internet. If you see a product you like while running errands, you can use your phones to visit the website of the store you were in and buy it using mobile phones. Plus, it’s also easy to send funds through the mobile money transfer capability built into most phones. This eliminates the hassle of standing in line at the bank waiting to see a teller for such services.

The advantage of mobile money transfer is the encryption added to the websites that allow the transfer of funds. Apps typically have a small timeout that allows you to automatically log out of the platform when not in use, increasing security and protecting the customer in case the phone is lost.
