Ways online banking makes your life easier
When did you last step into a bank and what was it for? If you don’t remember, then you get a hi-5. However, if it was only last week that you made a bank trip, to draw a Demand Draft in favour of your uncle in another city, you are not utilizing the many conveniences online banking has to offer.
Banking online makes your life easier. All you need is a computer, a tablet or a smartphone with an internet connection, and you are ready.
Tracking your account activity anytime, anywhere
All your payments, withdrawals, deposits and other account details are available at your fingertips. Whether it is lunch hour or midnight, access your account in seconds. As you receive real time transaction alerts, you can also be aware of any fraudulent activity.
Bill payments made easy
Bid adieu to the cheques, long queues or late fees. You can give standing instructions to your bank to pay your monthly utility bills such as electricity, telephone and mobile, credit card and insurance premium. You don't even have to remember the due dates, the bank will ensure your payment is done month after month on the stipulated date without fail.

Let’s say your mother is shopping and realises that she doesn’t have enough money in her account to make the purchases. You can just pull out your smartphone, transfer money instantly through the IMPS facility and you’re done.
You can transfer any amount from one account to another of the same or any other bank using NEFT or RTGS facilities, anywhere in the country.
