Mobile Banking refers to provision and availability of banking and financial services with the help of mobile telecommunication devices. The scope of offered services may include facilities to conduct bank and stock market transactions, to administer accounts and to access customized information. Mobile banking is known by various other names. Through mobile banking, one can balance checks, complete his account transactions, make payments on time etc. via a mobile device such as a mobile phone.

Mobile banking is growing at a very fast pace and will soon become the primary channel for banks to connect with their customers. While the top banks have the financial and technical resources to make moves in the mobile channel, most mid-tier and small banks lack the innovation and funds needed to explore this front. Many of the largest banks have already launched mobile banking services, which are catching on with customers and generating positive business results.

Mobile banking technology vendors have a big role to play in helping mid-tier and small institutions take advantage of this emerging channel. Due to the increasing interest in mobile banking software, banks should deploy mobile banking software with confidence that their mobile banking vendors will provide the key to start the engine of mobile banking.
