Benefits of linking a mobile number to a bank account?
Linking a mobile number to a bank account is important for various reasons, primarily centred around enhancing security, facilitating efficient communication, and ensuring seamless access to financial services.
- Firstly, mobile number verification also called two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security, where users receive OTPs on their registered mobile numbers. This helps prevent unauthorized access and protects against fraudulent activities, enhancing the overall security of the account.
- Secondly, a linked mobile number facilitates effective communication between the bank and the account holder. Banks often send important alerts, notifications, and updates via SMS, such as transaction alerts, account balance information, and security-related messages.
- Moreover, the mobile number serves as a crucial contact point for the bank in case of emergencies, account verification, or other necessary communications. It streamlines the process of customer verification, making it more efficient for the bank to reach out to users when required.
- In addition, linking a mobile number to a bank account supports the use of mobile banking services. Users can conveniently access their accounts, check balances, transfer funds, and perform various transactions through mobile banking apps.
In summary, the linkage of a mobile number to a bank account is essential for bolstering security, enabling effective communication, and ensuring seamless access to a range of financial services, ultimately enhancing the overall banking experience for account holders.
