I'm a little confused about the timelines. When you say "There would be certain banks that might have branches, but most of them will be looking at their customers to do online transactions in the near future.", do you mean near future from today or from 25 years hence? I ask because in Why Branch And Digital Channels Will Coexist Forever, I wrote about a bank that claims that (1) 90% of its transactions already happen via digital channels (2) it's still expanding its branch network (3) branches will always be around. 

Nope. Cash will last only for 185 years.

"Customers still visit branches to open new current accounts and purchase further products, such as savings accounts." Not surprising considering banks sell best at branches. That's Why Branch And Digital Channels Will Coexist Forever.

iPhone X has come. Still plastic is alive and kicking. When people can get away with their prediction that iPhone 5 will kill plastic, I don't see much risk in predicting that branch and digital channels will coexist forever:).

The latest IFTTT newsletter I received recently lists ING Australia as one more bank apart from Monzo that has used IFTTT integration.

Well before it runs in the background to automatically generate test cases, AI will replace developers for writing code. So it'll really be Bot v. Bot. 

The inverter battery backup at my home kicks in as soon as mains power fails (due to a fault in the line or planned load shedding). But it does not come on when there's a low voltage in the main supply. I was reminded of this when I read that Visa's secondary data center failed to kick in because of a partial failure of the primary system.

LOL, this must be one of the most visually rich critiques of re/demonetization I've ever come across!

Thanks but I was hoping for a more definitive list. The thing about search is the results depend a lot on the search keywords. I had a look at the list of all services on IFTTT. While Finance & Payments is the most obvious category in which one could find a bank, it's by no means the only one: I can imagine banks in other categories like Communication, Connected car, Calendars & scheduling, etc. The list of services is too long for anyone to spend time clicking each service to check the presence of banks in it. Let the banks who have already joined the IFTTT ecosystem do some marketing to spread awareness!
