Digital banks are an integral part of the digital banking experience. It's the default financial management method that customers now use.
Digital banks come in different forms. Some are online only and do not have a branch. Because these banks have less overhead, they might offer higher interest rates on savings accounts and CDs. They are meant for customers who are comfortable banking without needing a physical presence.
Other digital banks offer the best of both worlds — online and branch banking. This is the traditional banking that has been around for years. However, digital banking took off more out of necessity during the pandemic. With the closing of many branches and staff cutbacks at others, customers migrated online.
Digital banking includes online or web banking and also mobile banking. Mobile banking allows customers to access their financial information on their mobile phones through a mobile website or a mobile app. It is more common to offer a mobile banking app than a mobile website.
Features of digital banking include management of checking and savings accounts, debit and credit cards, loans, finding branches, contacting a representative via email for chat, viewing transaction history, and more. It's fast, convenient, and provides customers instant access to all of their financial needs.
Digital banks started as fintechs. Then larger banking financial institutions began offering the same services. Eventually, credit unions caught up and could offer many of the services larger financial institutions were offering.
In addition to speed and convenience, digital banking is secure. Fraud became a big issue during the pandemic as many customers were not used to banking online. A lot of the security issues experienced during the pandemic have been resolved. Customers have come to trust the security provided with digital banking, which is why it has become more of a utility than a nice-to-have.
