An agent bank is a bank that performs services in some capacity on behalf of an entity. An agent bank, also known as an agency bank, can offer a wide variety of services for businesses looking to expand internationally. An Agent of Agent Banking is an authorized person by bank/non-bank who has the authority to provide banking services to the individuals via:

1. A kiosk set up at a remote place
2. An individual who comes to your place with a handheld device equipped to perform banking transactions
3. A supermarket/retailers/post offices/NGO’s/specialized microfinance institutions (MFIs) etc

An agent is mostly misunderstood as a mediator/broker who charges money to provide services. However, in the case of agent banking although an agent is a mediator he does not charge anything from the customer.
