Online banking and internet banking: are they same?

The change from internet banking to online banking has been easy for many. Online banking apps offer more convenience and are easy to understand than internet banking. Therefore, users haven’t missed banking with their internet banking IDs, instead using their phones to bank easily.

Take IDFC FIRST Bank’s digital banking app as an example. Among the most advanced online banking apps, IDFC FIRST Bank’s mobile app has an easy interface that anyone can understand. Every service has been clearly listed, and the navigation tool helps move from one service to another. Read on to know the other reasons why mobile banking is here to stay.

How is online banking different from internet banking?

Internet banking encompasses both internet banking and online banking. What differentiates online banking from online internet banking is a banking application. Every bank has its online banking app. As mobile apps make banking faster and more accessible, online banking is preferred by customers more than internet banking.

What is a banking application, and how does it work?

A banking application like IDFC FIRST Bank’s digital banking app enables customers to bank on their mobile phones. Online internet banking has shifted from a website to an online banking application. However, this does not mean the customer cannot choose between the two. Most banks allow customers to avail themselves of online internet banking services on their mobile apps and websites.
