As mobiles became immensely popular and their data communication features became stronger, mobile banking became the next alternate channel. It was internet banking suitably modified and downsized to suit the mobile platform. Now that many phones have larger screens and full-fledged browsing features, the distinction between internet banking and mobile banking is likely to diminish. 3, record 1, English, - mobile%20banking

L'ardennais suédois est une race de cheval de trait. [...] Il s'agit d'un cheval de gros trait. Il mesure de 1,55 m à 1,62 m au garrot. Il est d'apparence trapue et inélégante, cependant il est robuste et très docile. Il bénéficie de plus d'une longue espérance de vie. Sa tête est imposante, ses yeux, petits. Son encolure est courte et large. Son dos est court, et son épaule très puissante. Ses membres sont courts et forts. La queue et la crinière sont plus touffues que chez l'ardennais, en revanche, en raison des fortes chutes de neige, ses fanons sont moins fournis. Il est généralement de robe bai, et parfois alezan ou rouan. 2, record 2, French, - ardennais%20su%C3%A9dois
