Any person with a bank account has to have used a passbook. A [ savings account](https://upstox.com/savings-account/what-is-savings-account/) or current account's transactions are recorded in this book, which the bank provides. A bank employee or teller is used to manage passbooks and records the transactions in the books. The teller was required to sign in the book to attest to the bank's approval of the transactions. This did, however, provide room for human error and factual deception. Modern passbooks were created to be easily integrated with computers to eliminate these issues.

Your account information is stored on a Bar-Code carried by modern passbooks. Place the book into the device, and it will automatically write the transactions. However, this was only the beginning of banking process automation. The mpassbook is another novel idea that has recently gained much popularity.
