The share of the republican citizens using the Internet, SMS and mobile applications to conduct transactions with their accounts, increases with slow rates. A year ago, 13.1 percent of all individuals used such option, this year - 16.
According to experts, the Russian banks "have yet to solve a lot of issues in terms of convenience of online work with deposits. For example, one of the drawbacks: often a deposit can be opened online, but still should be managed through an office".
