Abstract
Provided is a dongle that is connected to a portable terminal for providing a mobile banking transaction service with a banking equipment that includes a banking transaction unit for providing a mobile banking transaction service with a banking equipment; an FM transmitter for outputting a sound source played in a portable terminal through a speaker of an external FM receiver; a charger for receiving an external voltage to charge the portable terminal; and a connector to be connected to the portable terminal simultaneously or individually in order to perform functions of the banking transaction unit, the FM transmitter, and the charger. The banking transaction related components are implemented with a single separate device, i.e., dongle, and can be mounted when necessary. Therefore, a separate banking related module (software and/or hardware) is unnecessary, thereby slimming the portable terminal. In addition, the convenience of the banking transaction is improved because the dongle can be applied to general terminals having a minimum software specification.
