In our fast-paced modern life, many of the services and products we consume are no longer tied to being at home or sitting at a computer. Watching a movie, buying tickets and live-streaming your life can all be done while walking or on the train. But one of the biggest changes has been mobile banking.

Wikipedia defines mobile banking as “a service provided by a bank or other financial institution that allows its customers to conduct a range of financial transactions remotely using a mobile device such as a mobile phone or tablet, and using software, usually called an “app”, provided by the financial institution for the purpose.”

Many banks and financial institutions have enhanced customers’ ability to access their accounts via mobile devices. From smartphone apps, to mobile websites, banking customers have many options of how they want to interact with their financial institutions.

Mobile banking can trace its roots back to the late 90s in Europe with the introduction of WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) enabled smart phones which is a technical standard for accessing information over a mobile wireless network. Since that time, the expansion and widespread nature of smartphones and tablets, has caused mobile banking to grow exponentially.
