Banking PR: What is the Requirement of Public Relations in Banks?

Banking nowadays does not stick to only keeping the money in the bank. With the advanced technology banking sector has grown very fast and now provides various services and facilities to its potential clients. After the digitization took place, the interaction between the customers and bank employees has become so minimal as everything is online now and all the transactions take place online only. This is the reason banks are losing direct connection with their employees and this is where Public Relations is required in the banking sector as well. With the help of banking PR, the banks create new connections and attract more customers towards it.
