The '''banking''' app is a very easy and fast way to transfer money to other players/friends in need of cash. With this new '''banking''' system, you won't need to go all the way to a market to take some cash out for a friend, also if that player/friend isn't in close proximity to you during the transfer, unlike giving cash to players, it wouldn't matter. Whoever your transferring money to can be as far as Pluto, so long as you have the money needed to make the transfer. '''(Transfers can only be made by transferring $1000 minimum.)''' The only flaw to transferring via our in game '''banking''' app is the fact a small fee will be taken out upon transfer; it's nothing big, but it's the only flaw to transferring via the app in comparison to giving cash.
