What is Digital Banking?
Digital banking provides traditional banking services without a brick-and-mortar branch network—or the costs associated with it. As a result, many consumers find digital banking to be a better value: offering higher deposit rates, fewer fees, and the latest in online and mobile banking convenience. Wondering if digital banking is right for you? Read on.
Reasons to Use Digital Banking
There are many reasons you may want to switch your banking to online only. Here are some of them.
1. You prefer anytime convenience to face-to-face interaction.
If you rarely bank at your local branch and typically handle most transactions online or on your mobile phone, digital banking may be right for you. For example, the BrioDirect platform offers a full range of 24/7 digital banking tools to make managing your money simple and convenient.
2. You’re looking for higher savings rates.
With digital banking, you’re likely to earn a higher rate on your deposits than you do now with a traditional bank. Before you switch, though, compare: BrioDirect high-yield savings and CDs offer some of the best rates around.
3. You need on-the-go account access.
The mobile app provides anytime, anywhere access to view transactions, pay bills, transfer funds, deposit checks and more. Just download the Mobile Banking App for free from the App Store or Google Play.
Who is Digital Banking for?
Digital banking is for anyone who doesn’t want, or need, to handle their banking in-person at a local branch; wants to earn the best rates on their savings, or prefers the convenience of online and mobile banking.
