Technological advancement has had a gigantic effect in the banking industry. Over the past few decades, the financial services industry has changed considerably with banking transforming from the pen and paper method to the computers and internet method. The pen and paper method took weeks or even months for the transaction to be eventually completed, and then the dramatic introduction of the computer and internet method which changed that time frame to only a matter of seconds to be completed, which reduced the amount of time and labor needed to complete a transaction significantly. Banking is considered one of the most important economic sectors with it being severely influential and responsive to any little change, whether it is domestic or international. Some extreme changes that were brought about by the development of this new technology turned into a globalized nature for the financial services industry. One stroke of a key on a computer could and would change a person 's life extensively or even have a global impact. The new technologies that were created and introduced changed how the consumers managed their money from that time on. Technology has helped to protect peoples’ hard earned money and make it much more impossible for people to be able to write out bad checks or even holding up a bank.

There are various advantages and disadvantages of introduction of technology in banking system. The work of the law starts where there are disadvantages to the public in general and individual in particular. There are certain challenges that banking is facing which are due to obligations imposed by law on the one hand and the invention of new technology and its adoption at the other. This necessitates introduction of new guidelines by the RBI. There is no dedicated Internet banking laws in India but the RBI has issued some guidelines in this regard via notification number DBOD.COMP.BC.No.130/ 07.03.23/ 2000-01 on 14th June 2001. Reserve Bank of India, being the highest authoritative bank and the regulator of all the nationalized banks in India, had set up a ‘Working Group on Internet Banking’ to examine different aspects of Electronic Banking. The Group had focused on three major areas of E-banking, i.e. (i) technology and security issues, (ii) legal issues and (iii) regulatory and supervisory issues. As per the guidelines issued for implementation by the banks, they are required to designate a network and database administrator with clearly defined roles. They should introduce logical access controls to data, application and system software, utilities, telecommunication lines, etc. All computer accesses, including messages received, must be logged. Security violations (suspected or attempted) should be reported and follow up action taken should be kept in mind while framing future

The way we live today is so much influenced by computing technologies. Computers control the economy, transportation, banking and many other functions. Internet and mobile technologies are increasingly being adopted and utilized in the banking industry; this has reshaped the consumption of financial services. Electronic banking is considered a way of delivering banking services through the internet to the consumer at a reduced cost to the banking industry and improved convenience to the customer . However there exists a low internet connectivity in the developing countries given the costs of connection especially in rural areas and yet banking services need to be brought closer to the population to enhance development . A viable solution here is mobile banking. Mobile banking is considered as a service that enables users to receive information regarding the status of their accounts, transfer among bank accounts, to facilitate stock trading and direct payment confirmation using mobile devices.
