[Infographic] Evolution Of Banking

With the coming of internet and mobile, banking has evolved over the years. Financial institutions have been constantly receptive towards the changing technology. From a traditional branch banking, consumers have adapted to online as well as mobile banking.

Benefits of Banking

It won't be an overstatement if we say that banking is for the benefit of everyone across the globe. Banks accept the deposits of customers and in return pay handsome interests back. The deposits are then used to lend loans to customers and institutions so that they could carry out their necessary economic functions. Without a doubt, banks create ways and means for all of us to pay for goods and services of our choice and transfer capital whenever we want. The fact that they provide livelihoods for thousands of families across countries is also worth mentioning.

Today Appknox brings you a snapshot of how banks have evolved over the last few decades.
