October is ‘Rocktober’ in Mobile Banking, with many exciting developments taking place around the world with GPay, Raisin and Revolut.

Mobile is the go-to banking medium for personal and business users. There is nothing customers can’t do with mobile banking, and things are only getting better. Bricks and mortar banks are limited by their very nature, but mobile banking offers customers enhanced flexibility, convenience, and cost-effectiveness. Mobile banking apps are quick and easy to download and install, and they pack a punch.

FinTech enterprises are pouring plenty of resources into mobile banking options, making it much easier to deliver a powerful product that meets the needs of modern-day customers. Cost-effective solutions are but one of many benefits to mobile banking, and ‘Fort Knox’ style security features guarantee ironclad transactions.

With so many new entrants making their way to market, it’s clear that we are on the cusp of a mobile banking revolution.

N26

N26 has left a huge digital footprint in Europe, and it’s about to get bigger now that it is fully compatible with Google Pay in 5 more countries across Europe – Poland, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, and Norway. All it takes is a few quick taps to add GPay in your N26 account. As the premier mobile payment option, Google Pay is really easy-to-use to pay for purchases in stores using your mobile phone. Simply hold your phone up to the NFC terminal and you’re golden.

Google Pay is 100% safe and secure, compliments of SSL technology. This payment method uses a virtual account number to transmit payments, keeping your true account number private. Payments over €25 require your phone to be unlocked. With this e-Payment technology available in 5 more countries, users can add additional layers of security with a personal identification number (PIN) to GPay – an acclaimed provider of mobile banking services.

The Raisin option is applicable to account holders in Spain, France, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, and the United Kingdom.
