What is Fast Banking and what are its advantages?
Fast Banking is a digital banking solution, a joint collaboration of SCT and Swift Technologies. One of the major benefits of the service is that it allows users to use a single username and password for mobile banking and internet banking.
Besides, it also lets customers enjoy digital banking services at their convenience from their homes or outside on the go. It is designed on the concept of an open API. The solution allows real-time calculation of revenue. If a transaction ever fails, Fast Banking allows resending the money.
Despite the growth in digital banking services, much of it has been limited to online payment. People still need to visit banks for many services. Fast Banking will digitalize many services from the OMNI platform by bringing more services on board.
Third-party integration and more
Narayan Bhuji, CEO of SCT said that Fast Banking is not just a mobile banking service but a digital banking solution designed under the OMNI channel platform which allows third-party integration. Likewise, a member bank can also design and launch the product via the channel. Do read: Top 5 Digital Wallets in Nepal: Updated (2022)
