Banking and financial services are typically among the first industries to embrace technological advances; starting as far back in time as the appearance of automated teller machines (ATMs) and credit cards. Ever since the first secure Internet systems for financial operations became available on a large scale, accessing one's bank account online to carry out transactions, pay off credit cards, establish credit lines or invest savings became one of the fastest growing areas of Internet activities. The penetration of online banking in Great Britain has been excelled in part to the agility in which digital banks can adapt and evolve, as well as their ability to attract large amounts of funding.
