FRIENDLY NEIGHBOURHOOD BANKING ACCOUNT!

In a different time and in a different place, bank branches were hotspots of social activity. Customers could leisurely walk into branches and hobnob with the counter clerk over the filling up of passbook. Sharing a cup of tea with bank manager was a common affair and friendships and social networking happened at the bank branch.

In today’s fast paced world, nobody has the time to stop and stare. Banking has undergone a metamorphosis and has aptly proved that time is money. Internet banking and mobile banking has brought banks literally to the fingertips of customers, offering ease and convenience. No need to step into the bank premises to meet your daily banking requirement. Technology has all the instant answers.

 

But what is lacking is the social aspect of banking. Where is the friendly neighbourhood bank manager? Or the cheeky young clerk at the counters? The bank manager is busy chasing targets in the competitive financial world and the clerks have been replaced by  shiny computer terminals or ATMs. There is really no time to be friendly.

To fill this void, Kotak Mahindra Bank has come up with its jifi account, which  stands apart from all other such accounts. Not only does it live up to its name and get’s your banking work done in a jiffy, it actually gives your banking a social touch. You no longer have to bank in isolation!
