IndusInd Bank Goes Social, Launches “Onthego” To Allow People Make Transactions Via Social Media Platforms

IndusInd Bank has launched a “Onthego” Social banking, a new feature which will allow customers to make transactions through social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook.

Besides, users can also transfer money to their phone and social contacts using their Facebook and Twitter account without using any additional mobile app.

On Twitter platform, “Onthego” Social Banking will enable user to carry out basic banking functionalities in a completely secure environment. Any IndusInd Bank savings account customer who is registered with the bank through a mobile number and has a Twitter account, can access Twitter Banking.

This is a strategic step by IndusInd Bank in bringing customer convenience on social media. “The Idea is to offer banking solutions seamlessly, wherever the user is.
