Mobile Banking (Banking in your Hand)

Mobile banking is not simply another delivery channel but represents a fundamental shift in
the paradigm of consumer banking.

4.1 Introduction to Mobile Banking:

Internet Banking helped give the customer's anytime access to their banks. Customer's could
check out their account details, get their bank statements, perform transactions like transferring
money to other accounts and pay their bills sitting in the comfort of their homes and offices.
However the biggest limitation of Internet banking is the requirement of a PC with an Internet
connection, not a big obstacle if we look at the US and the European countries, but definitely a
big barrier if we consider most of the developing countries of Asia like Bangladesh. Mobile
banking addresses this fundamental limitation of Internet Banking, as it reduces the customer
requirement to just a mobile phone. Mobile usage has seen an explosive growth in most of the
Asian economies like Bangladesh. The main reason that Mobile Banking scores over Internet

Banking is that it enables Anywhere Anytime Banking'. Customers don't need access to a
computer terminal to access their bank accounts, now they can do so on-the-go while waiting for
the bus to work, traveling or when they are waiting for their orders to come through in a
restaurant. The scale at which Mobile banking has the potential to grow can be gauged by
looking at the pace users are getting mobile in Bangladesh.The mobile subscriber base in
Bangladesh hit 70 million in 2011. The explosion as most analysts say, is yet to come as
Bangladesh has about one of the biggest untapped markets. We see that in Korea which is now
witnessing the roll-out of some of the most advanced services like using mobile phones to pay
bills in shops and restaurants.

4.2 Reason of Genesis of M-Banking:

Introduction of new technologies
Control costs, removal of cost duplication
To increase online channel customers
Personalize customer interactions
Unparalleled convenience & proactive customer service

4.3 Mobile Banking A New Business Models For Banking:

Sector:
A wide spectrum of Mobile/branchless banking models is evolving. These models
differ primarily on the question that who will establish the relationship (account
opening, deposit taking, lending etc.) with the end customer, the Bank or the NonBank/Telecommunication Company (Telco). Models of branchless banking can be
classified into three broad categories - Bank Focused, Bank-Led and Non Bank-Led.
The bank-focused model emerges when a traditional bank uses non-traditional low cost
delivery channels to provide banking services to its existing customers and new customers in
rural area where commercial bank can not reach till now

4.4 Mobile Banking:

Mobile Banking is a Banking process without bank branch which provides financial services to
un-banked communities efficiently and at affordable cost. To provide banking and financial
services, such as cash-in, cash out, merchant payment, utility payment, salary disbursement,
foreign remittance, government allowance disbursement, ATM
money withdrawal through mobile technology devices, i.e. Mobile Phone, is called Mobile
Banking.
Mobile banking (m-banking) involves the use of a mobile phone or another mobile device to
undertake financial transactions linked to a clients account. M-banking is one of the newest
approaches to the provision of financial services , made possible by the widespread adoption of
mobile phones even in low income people. The roll out of mobile telephony has been rapid, and
has extended access well beyond already connected customers in rural area. There is mounting
evidence of positive social impact on poorer people and communities as a result.
There are sound reasons for the hope that m-banking could have similar impact. A mobile
network offers a high technology platform onto which other services can be often provided at
very low cost to deliver an effective result. Mobile data channels are often under-used and
therefore may be offered at low cost by the network operator. M-banking services which use
channels such as text messaging/ SMS can be carried at a cost of less. The low cost of using
existing infrastructure makes such channels more amenable to use by low income customers.
M-banking is new in our country, and there has been limited donor support in this sector to date.
This report considers the case for donors to support m-banking as a sector. Bangladesh Bank
permitted 10 commercial bank to do such kind of mobile banking business that the rural people
who have mobile but havent banking facilities, Service holders can get there salary by the
mobile banking.

4.5 Objective of Mobile Banking:

Around 87% of the total population of Bangladesh is un-banked. To bring such a huge
population into the banking channel, DBBL is implementing a system to launch mobile banking
soon. The project is in its final stage now. With this facility any person having a
mobile number will be able to use his number as a bank account. In this mobile account they will
be able to do the following:
Cash deposit to any Agent of DBBL
Cash withdrawal from any Agent of DBBL
Cash withdrawal from DBBL ATMs
Funds transfer to another mobile account
Utility bill payment, Tuition fee payment, Air time top-up.
Receive remittance from home and abroad
Salary disbursement
Disbursement of Govt. allowances
Merchant Payment
Balance Inquiry

4.6 Benefits of Mobile Banking:

By providing electronic access to money, it is possible to ultimately alleviate poverty, because of
the following reasons.
Real time on-line banking
Available anytime, anywhere throughout the country
It is convenient, affordable and secure
It is much more effective in developing savings habits
It will make access to banking and advanced payment transactions at affordable cost
It is much safer, speedy and safeguard against fraudulent transaction.

4.7 Some other purpose of Mobile Banking:

While poor people have little money, they are active managers of what they have.
Holding cash comes at high price to poor people because of the risk of crime in many
poor People, but they often have few alternatives to cash based services.

In particular, appropriate financial services help poor people to access usefully large
lump sums of money, which may either enable a pathway out of poverty through
investment in income generating activities (such as micro enterprises) or asset creation
(such as housing); or may reduce vulnerability to sudden shocks to cash flow, as a result
for example of illness or climate conditions.
In our country, poor people are forced to rely on informal financial services, which may
be unsafe, or fringe formal financial products which may be expensive as well as unsafe.
In other words, their exclusion from formal financial services has economic and social
impacts which may exacerbate their poverty.
The cost efficient provision of formal financial services (payments/ remittances, savings,
credit or insurance) is predicated on customers having access at least to a basic
transactional account, from which electronic transfers can be made as like purchase
product and pay one another by M-banking and cash withdrawn as necessary.
M-banking holds the prospect of offering a low cost, accessible transaction banking
platform for currently unbaked and poorer customers. In addition, as mobile networks
expand their coverage, they offer the opportunity of bringing payment and remittance
services into that areas where banking services is unable able.
However, not all m-banking products will be transformational in the sense of broadening
access to financial services substantially at first or even at all. However, it is likely that
even m-banking services which start targeted at existing banked customers may over time
extend to un-banked groups.

4.8 Why Mobile Banking is Necessary:

In low income people, m-banking may enable to use such kind of Banking where Banking
facilities cant reach till now the cost and safety of using m-banking is comparatively low.
M-banking potentially brings new Customer where banking sector is running as like as dog
for there product marketing; these may be stronger than retail banks and better placed to
reach out to un-banked customers.
M-banking is still very new, whereas other forms of e-banking are quite well established;
the potential to influence and adapted to the customer may be higher compare to former
banking because a lot of people use mobile phone in our country

4.9 Why DBBL chose Mobile Banking:

4.12 Advantages of Mobile Banking

The biggest advantage that mobile banking offers to banks is that it drastically cuts down the
costs of providing service to the customers.
You can make transactions or pay bills anytime. It saves a lot of time.
Mobile banking thorough cell phone is user friendly. The interface is also very simple. You
just need to follow the instructions to make the transaction. It also saves the record of any
transactions made.
Cell phone banking is cost effective. DBBL provide this facility at a lower cost as compared
to banking by self.
Banking through mobile reduces the risk of fraud. You will get an SMS whenever there is an
activity in your account. This includes deposits, cash withdrawals, funds transfer etc. You will
get a notice as soon as any amount is deducted or deposited in your account.
Banking through cell phone benefits the banks too. It cuts down on the cost of tele- banking
and is more economical.
Mobile banking through cell phone is very advantageous to the banks as it serves as a guide
in order to help the banks improve their customer care services.
Banks can be in touch with their clients with mobile banking.
Banks can also promote and sell their products and services like credit cards, loans etc. to a
specific group of customers.
Various banking services like Account Balance Enquiry , Credit/Debit Alerts, Bill Payment
Alerts, Transaction History, Fund Transfer Facilities, Minimum Balance Alerts etc. can be
accessed from your mobile.
You can transfer money instantly to another account in the same bank using mobile banking.
Mobile banking has an edge over internet banking. In case of online banking, you must have
an internet connection and a computer. This is a problem in developing countries. However, with
mobile banking, connectivity is not a problem. You can find mobile connectivity in the remotest
of places also where having an internet connection is a problem.
Mobile banking is helping service providers increase revenues from the now static subscriber
base.
Service providers are increasingly using the complexity of their supported mobile banking
services to attract new customers and retain old ones.
A very effective way of improving customer service could be to inform customers better.

4.13 Limitation of Mobile Banking

Uncertainties over the speed and nature of customer adoption: This is to be expected with any
new offering, although the uncertainty is compounded by the relative lack of knowledge of
the needs of un-banked people in many places, and the market potential. Consumer education
may speed adoption; but more likely, adoption on scale will happen as it has happened with
mobile phones: by forced to adapt their offerings as they encounter feedback in the market
place. Therefore, it is necessary to have sufficient providers in the market who can remain in

the market long enough to ensure that to identify the elements of a successful model. Hence,
support to providers may assist in overcoming this barrier. Generally available research into
the patterns and needs of the un-banked target market may also help.
Lack of interoperability with existing systems: Interoperability of different payment systems
is primarily a question of market structure and regulation. It arises initially only in markets
where there is an existing payment infrastructure with which new providers can inter-operate
(and later on, once new infrastructure becomes the standard). Without inter-operability, the
fixed costs of deploying financial infrastructure may be much harder to recover, since usage
per item of proprietary infrastructure will fall. Clearly, one solution may be to give regulators
the power to require interoperability; however, it may be sufficient to encourage the
identification of appropriate standard upfront. This could take place via support to regulators
or industry bodies, where these exist.
Regulatory barriers: Specific regulatory impediments vary by market; but in general, a
lack of openness to new models of provision and a lack of policy certainty limit the potential
of new models. Increasing openness and certainty may require support to regulators to
outline high level policy, as well as to amend existing regulations or draft new ones where
and when required.
The case for donor support therefore rests on removing barriers such as these, thereby making it
more likely that transformational models of m-banking will emerge at all, or at least, sooner; and
that they will develop more rapidly than otherwise would be the case.

4.14 Challenges before Mobile Banking:

Reaching deeper into rural areas without costly investment in infrastructure.

Reducing the costs of servicing.
Interoperability
Security risks from robbery & holdup.
Scalability & reliability
Personalization
Customer education

Reduce cost of clients

High transecting cost
Lac of cash out late
Cost of cash in and out is high compare to interest rate on bank deposit
Marketing to convince more people
Merchants and Shops to accept M-cash in payment for goods and services.
Overcome initial security of customer money.
Interoperability:
There is a lack of common technology standards for mobile banking. Many protocols are being
used for mobile banking. It would be a wise idea for the vendor to develop a mobile banking
application that can connect multiple banks. It would require either the application to support
multiple protocols or use of a common and widely acceptable set of protocols for data exchange.
There are a large number of different mobile phone devices and it is a big challenge for banks to
offer mobile banking solution on any type of device.
Security
Security of financial transaction, being executed from some remote location and transmission of
financial information over the air, are the most complicated challenges that need to be addressed
jointly by mobile application developers, wireless network service providers and the bank's IT
department.
The following aspects need to be addressed to offer a secure infrastructure for financial
transaction over wireless network:
* Physical security of the handheld device. If the bank is offering smart-card based security, the
physical security of the device is more important.
* Security of the thick-client application running on the device. In case the device is stolen, the
hacker should require ID/Password to access the application.
* Authentication of the device with service provider before initiating a transaction. This would
ensure that unauthorized devices are not connected to perform financial transactions.
* User ID / Password authentication of bank's customer.
* Encryption of the data being transmitted over the air.
* Encryption of the data that will be stored in device for later / off-line analysis by the customer.
Scalability & Reliability
Another challenge for the banks is to scale-up the mobile banking infrastructure to handle
exponential growth of the customer base. With mobile banking, the customer may be sitting in
any part of the world (a true anytime, anywhere banking) and hence banks need to ensure that the
systems are up and running in a true 24 x 7 fashion. As customers will find mobile banking more
and more useful, their expectations from the solution will increase. Banks unable to meet the
performance and reliability expectations may lose customer confidence.
Application Distribution
Due to the nature of the connectivity between bank and its customers, it would be impractical to
expect customers to regularly visit banks or connect to a web site for regular upgrade of their

mobile banking application. It will be expected that the mobile application itself check the
upgrades and updates and download necessary patches. However, there could be many issues to
implement this approach such as upgrade / synchronization of other dependent components.
Personalization
It would be expected from the mobile application to support personalization such as:
1. Preferred Language
2. Date / Time format
3. Amount format
4. Default transactions
5. Standard Beneficiary list
6. Alerts

4.15 Prospective:
Increasing faster transmission via GPRS 3G technology to be lunched soon in Bangladesh is
expected to bring in a mobile revaluation.
Users are slowly getting used to the concept of mobile in hand held device as digital cash or
wallet to carry out purchase.
Presently low value M-commerce transecting are happening.
To extent low cost banking services to existing clients & un-banked individuals especially in
rural areas.

Conclusion and Recommendation

Conclusions:
For service providers, Mobile banking offers the next surest way to achieve growth. Countries
like Bangladesh where mobile penetration is nearing saturation, mobile banking is helping
service providers increase revenues from the now static subscriber base. Also service providers
are increasingly using the complexity of their supported mobile banking services to attract new
customers and retain old ones. For the fact is that one day, in most of the world emerging
markets, more people will use mobile telephones than use fixed telephone lines. Businesses that
are based on mobile financial serviced will thus be a natural fit for these economies. What is
more, there is no need to wait for the next generation mobile networks; these businesses can be
built using today's technology. But to capture this significant opportunity, financial firms and
telecommunications companies will have to partnerships with one another and, possibly, with
merchants and retail chains as well. Dutch-Bangla Bank is pionear of Mobile Banking in
Bangladesh and it has a lot of possibility to reach customes door as well as banking in the hand
of customers.

6.1 Recommendation:
Continue Mobile Banking in the rural areas to increase the use of E-Money especially in
commercial applications. Continuous pilot testing of the other M-Banking services to model cost
effective ways of reaching more and more people in areas farther away from bank.
Develop a mobile banking website as information portal particularly for M-Banking.
Continuous support and training workshop on Mobile Banking.
Procedures develops on going:
Developed M-banking system to automated transecting.

Major problems in a business arises when its new. The officer should observe that
whether there is loss of the top executive, demand, or any other most important new one
has entered and often the change may be worse.
DBBL and concern partner should advertise more for attracting all level of customers.
DBBL should encourage students for Mobile account opening because students are a
potential source for a bank.
DBBL should increase facility to fulfillment customers need.
DBBL should increase its outlet.
Bank should also be aware of significant changes in the training of M-Banking officer
and concern Partners employee.
Changes in industry trends may directly affect business so that it can no longer
completely profitable. Therefore, the Bank should keep information about the
environment of each industry in which its customers operate.

Real value of business can come from making regular visits to the customers place of
business rather than holding all meetings in the Bank.
Against big willful defaulters legal action should be taken promptly for customer MMoney Security.
Should arrange more and more campain in public place to expan M-Banking customer.
The cost of cash in and out should decrease.
Try to involve small business to raise customers.
