The bank said in a statement: "Since 2010, national over-the-counter transactions have declined by 30 per cent, from 685,000 to 478,000 in August 2015, while mobile transactions have grown from 312,000 to more than five million in July 2015."

Simple Money Manager has been designed to help "culturally and linguistically diverse" people with their everyday financial management. It is available in English and eight other languages. ASIC said one in eight Australians over age 14 access government services online, with a total of about 320 million transactions a day.
