If you\u2019ve ever found yourself stuck in a queue at your bank, wishing you could just handle your banking from the comfort of home, you\u2019re not alone. Well, NAB is listening. Starting in March, NAB will offer virtual everyday banking appointments, making it the first of the Big Four banks to roll out this game-changing service. For millions of Aussies, this could be the future of banking\u2014quick, easy, and without the hassle of making time to go to a physical branch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With bank branches closing at an increasing rate across the country, this move from NAB is hardly surprising. 98 branches were closed last year alone by the big banks, as more customers continue to shift their banking habits online. In fact, over 99% of all bank interactions now happen digitally. This trend has made it clear that physical bank visits are becoming increasingly unnecessary\u2014at least for some services. And NAB, always keen to stay ahead of the curve, is now setting a new standard by bringing virtual everyday banking to the forefront.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This new service will allow customers to book appointments online and have a secure video call with a banker. No need to rush into a branch or wait in line\u2014now, you can manage your banking needs wherever and whenever it suits you. Paul Carter, NAB\u2019s executive for retail banking, mentioned, \u201cWe know time is precious. This option gives customers the freedom to book when it suits them\u2014whether they\u2019re at home, at work, or on the go<\/em>\u201d, reports Yahoo Finance<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
