In today’s modern world, online transactions have become more well-known and favored by people due to its convenience. To keep up with the speed of people’s lives, Timo prioritizes online transactions to help you carry out your transactions quickly and easily.
What does “online transaction” mean?
Remember the days when you have to bring physical cash with you whenever you go out shopping? Or those days when you have to visit a bank branch to send or withdraw money? With the explosion of technology and the internet, having physical cash or visiting a bank branch are not significantly important anymore. This is because most banking transactions can now be done online via the internet or the bank’s mobile app. In short, online transaction is a payment method in which the transfer of fund or Money happens online over electronic fund transfer.
Timo – Transaction online anytime & anywhere
What is a digital bank?
Most of us are probably familiar with the concept of traditional banks offering branches and transaction offices at different locations for customers to come and carry out their banking transactions.
Unlike traditional banks, digital banks allow customers to carry out the majority of regular banking transactions online via the Internet. Instead of having to visit a bank branch or office to make transactions, all transactions are digitized and can be done online, from applying for a new bank account to opening a savings account, getting an overdraft loan, etc.
What makes digital banks stand out?
The development of digital banks helps to solve several disadvantages of traditional banks. With a digital bank, you can carry out several transactions anytime and anywhere through the internet without having to worry about time and location. As many transactions can be done online, this helps digital banks to reduce a lot of costs and, therefore, several fees are waived for the customers.
What types of online transactions can be done with Timo?
Move money
As a digital bank, the first online transaction type we offer through the Timo app is move money. You can move money anytime and anywhere, even if it is midnight or you are abroad. The move money fee to 40+ banks in the napas system is also waived.
When using Timo to move money, you only need to enter the payee’s account number or card number and the other details will be automatically updated for you to double check. Also, if it is a new payee, their information will be automatically updated in your Payees List to make it faster and more convenient for your next money transfers.
Open a savings account
