Virtual Banking allows a bank account to transact with multiple currencies. Definition: Virtual Banking; - Availing the banking services without actually going to the bank branch/office in person and access bank and related services online. Simply, use of information technology for availing the banking services without physical walk-in to any premises is called as virtual banking. One of the advantages of virtual banking service is that the transactions can be checked in real time, i.e. as and when the transactions are made and the customer is not required to wait to check the transaction details.

Also no additional space is required for staffing or housing of operations, which will be cost effective for banks and the customer gets better profit for their deposits. Now on a trial, in some banks the customer need not approach to the tellers for cheques encashment and can get cash at special ATM. Some banks are using automated bots at their branches to avoid queues and to conduct cheques encashment just by scan.
