Referred to as self-service banking and omni-channel banking as well, multichannel banking refers to the concept of equipping bank customers with more than one communication channel through which they can take care of any and all of their banking needs. And, in this booming digital age, its no surprise that creating a means for digital and comprehensive self-service banking channels is a prime concern for banks right now.
Of course, we already have a number of multichannel banking avenues already: Mobile banking, Internet banking, kiosks, ATMs, and the like, are all part of the digitization processes of implementing multichannel banking methods for their customers. However, these digital avenues, compared to the old POS (Point of Service) channel (via visiting the bank branches), is limited by how much the consumer can actually do via their chosen digital channel.
But, while such self-service channels have acted as more as complementary channels to the POS channel, the fact is that, with the digital revolution uprooting every realm of business in its path, banks simply can 't afford not have multichannel banking options anymore.
In fact, that 's one of the most current and hottest debates buzzing in the banking sector right now: Multichannel banking and how to make it as comprehensive in its services as possible.

In the text, the ‘banking’ concept of education is distinguished as ‘the scope of action allowed to the students extends only as far as receiving, filling, and storing the deposits.’ Freire illustrates the roles the ‘banking’ concept plays in student’s education; how it affects the teachers, affects the students, and the type of relation it creates between a student and teacher. In the passage, Freire pointed out how the teachers who are using this precise model are having all the power, the power to determine a bright mind’s future. Having ‘power’ isn’t necessary displayed as having authority, it can also be displayed as how they teach, talk, and the mindset they bring to the classroom. Freire claims “”...

TAM is a well-known model that helps to explain the adoption and use of technology (Sangle and Awasthi, 2010; Wessels and Drennan, 2010), as in our case mobile banking. Brought forward by Davis in 1989, it is based on Fishbein and Ajzen‟s theory of reasoned action (Sangle and Awasthi, 2011). Davis argues that the intention to use a particular technology is based on a persons behavioural intention which in turn is determined by two beliefs; perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness (Liu and Li, 2009; Sangle and Awasthi, 2011).
