Question: How have banking and its services evolved?
Answer: No doubt about it, banking channels are evolving. It may not be the fastest process on record but there have been some major changes.
Banks started as single-location entities normally in temples, palaces or centers of trade and commerce. Branches were the first step in the evolution of banking channels. They provided consumers better access and more convenience.
