The internet banking platform will imply transactions done using laptop and desktop while mobile banking would mean transaction done using smartphone and tablets.

While such is the scenario, lending major ICICI Bank has now stated that it foresees mobile banking to overtake internet banking soon. According to the lending major's Group Executive and Chief Technology and Digital Officer B. Madhivanan, around half of the digital transactions of savings account are taking place through mobile banking.

"I believe that in the near future, growth in mobile banking will be led by voice-based services and technology, AI (artificial intelligence) led personalised suggestions and services for every customer and 'satchet' like financial products with small ticket digital loans and insurance," Madhivanan said on the occasion of ICICI Bank's iMobile app completing 10 years of operations.

Meanwhile many banks and financial institutions today have their own apps which customers can download from respective app stores and then use it to carry out a lot of actions. Everything can be done in the palm of your hands. Besides, there is less need to physically visit banks these days.
