A term often related to banks is Branch Banking. To put simply, Branch Banking refers to all the activities that are carried out within the branch of a bank. This includes things such as cash deposit, cash withdrawal, making demand drafts, processing various documents, obtaining loans, making queries, and others. Branch Banking has gone through tremendous change over the last two decades from the traditional times when a customer had to go to a branch for every small transaction to the current situation when customers are able to transact on an account anytime anywhere.

Online Banking

The worldwide digital revolution has made banking easy for customers. Today, customers can perform almost all kinds of transactions on their account through Online Banking or more popularly called ‘Net Banking’.
