Abstract

In the extensive sense, mobile banking (M-Banking) is defined as the financial transaction execution through smart devices or electronic devices. The clients are utilizing mobile devices with the combination of mobile communication systems for purpose of electronic transactions (E-transactions). The major reason for the expansion of electronic banking (E-Banking) is due to continuous growth of Internet speed, facilities, personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), Internet-empowered phones, and designing of banking application. This made another new subset of E-Banking and M-Banking. We mainly concentrated on E-Banking and M-Banking aspects of banking area. In this paper, we examined the general structure of Indian banks and identified relevant digital banking types, which are classified into E-Banking and M-Banking. We carried a survey on modern M-Banking and determined five different categories of M-banking services and listed out the functionalities, advantages, disadvantages, and security issues of it. We also examine the security attacks on mobile devices and wireless networks. Finally, a related work is carried on the existing system based on the security concern issues in M-Banking.
