With the proliferation of smart phone applications, there are behavioral changes in customer  banking which previously had to go to the bank and stand in line to make a transaction, now they want almost instantaneous transaction without having to go to the bank and stand in line waiting for their turn. To support this changing, the banking industry, such as BCA has been promoting the products in the form of Digital Mobile applications, so that customers do not bother to go to the bank to make financial transactions. For example in online shopping, stock transactions, banking transactions, now is done by moving the cursor in smart phone, then the transaction can be done immediately by whoever and wherever they may be.
