The importance of registering your business

Nowadays, as business owners, when we want to transfer money, check our account balance, or review our transaction history, we only need to open our bank’s application on our smartphone and everything can be done with just a few clicks. The convenience of having a full range of banking services at our fingertips has now become the norm, with a lot of people seemingly forgetting how things were like before the emergence of online banking.

Read on to find out how digital banking can benefit you.

Easy onboarding with no branch visit

By now, more banks are offering a full-fledged digital application process whereby customers can open accounts instantly without having to step into a branch to submit their documents for verification to complete their application.

With the digital Know-Your-Customer (e-KYC) identity verification technology, financial institutions utilise a combination of authentication factors to safely verify the identity of a customer. Hence, you would never need to step into a branch with your documents and can open an account instantly anywhere, anytime.

Perform transactions from anywhere

For many business owners who are always on the move, time is precious and having the ability to track account balances as well as payments to suppliers at their fingertips is crucial.

Mobile banking gives business owners an overview of your finances in one platform, lets you review your recent transaction history, perform and approve transactions 24/7.

Secure banking backed by advanced technologies

Rather than having to find a secure place to store your statements or other financial documents, online banking allows you to gain access to your account and make transactions safely with technologies like multi-factor authentication.

Banks have adopted measures to safeguard their data integrity and system security by having extra layers of encryption as well as advanced processes to detect suspicious activities that could be triggered by cybercriminals.

That said, as consumers, we need to always be mindful when we are on the internet and practise safe online banking habits such as refraining from using public Wi-Fi, not revealing personal details easily, and so forth.

Access tools for more efficient banking

Business owners can access online services to submit and approve trade transactions anytime and anywhere with no hardcopy forms, documents, and signatures. Some platforms let business owners submit and approve multiple transactions in one go with just a single tap. In addition, you can snap and upload your supporting documents and the bank will process and approve your submission in 24 hours.
