INTRODUCTION

1.1 Introduction of Banking

Banking is an industry that handles cash, credit, and other financial transactions.
Banks provide a Safe place to Store extra cash and credit. They offer savings
accounts, Certificates of Deposit, and checking accounts. Banks use these deposits
to make loans. These loans include home mortgages, business loans, and car loans.
A Bank is a financial institution licensed to receive deposits and make loans. Two
of the most common types of banks are commercial/retail and investment banks.
Depending on type, a bank may also provide various financial services ranging from
providing safe deposit boxes and currency exchange to retirement and wealth
management.

The banking industry stands as a cornerstone of modern economies, playing an


indispensable role in facilitating financial transactions, fostering economic growth,
and providing essential financial services to individuals, businesses, and
governments. This introduction provides a comprehensive overview of the banking
industry, shedding light on its fundamental functions, historical evolution, and
contemporary significance. At its core, the banking industry is a dynamic ecosystem
that encompasses a diverse range of financial institutions, each with unique roles
and responsibilities. From traditional brick-and-mortar banks to modern digital
fintech startups, these entities collectively form a complex network that supports
the flow of funds, manages risks, and fuels economic activities on both local and
global scales. Throughout history, banking has evolved significantly from its
earliest origins as simple moneylending operations to the sophisticated and
interconnected system we know today. In ancient civilizations, rudimentary forms
of banking emerged to facilitate trade and commerce. However, it was during the
Renaissance period that banking began to take on recognizable forms, with the
establishment of institutions that accepted deposits, extended credit, and facilitated
international transactions. In contemporary times, the banking industry has
undergone profound transformations driven by technological advancements,
regulatory changes, and shifts in customer preferences. Traditional banking
services, such as savings accounts, loans, and payment processing, have been

1
augmented by innovative digital solutions that provide convenient access to
financial resources and enable instantaneous transactions.

The banking industry's significance cannot be overstated. It serves as the financial


backbone of economies, channeling funds from savers to borrowers, thus
facilitating investment and economic growth. Banks play a crucial role in allocating
capital, managing liquidity, and mitigating financial risks, ensuring the stability of
financial systems. They offer a wide spectrum of services, ranging from basic
checking accounts to complex investment products and advisory services, catering
to the diverse needs of individuals, businesses, and institutions. In recent years, the
industry has witnessed the rise of fintech disruptors that leverage cutting-edge
technologies like artificial intelligence, blockchain, and mobile applications to
introduce innovative financial services and challenge traditional banking norms.
This wave of innovation has prompted established banks to adapt and embrace
digital transformation to remain competitive and relevant in an everchanging
landscape.

The banking industry's journey towards customer satisfaction has witnessed


remarkable evolution, reflecting the industry's commitment to understanding,
meeting, and exceeding the needs of its diverse clientele. This introduction delves
into how the banking sector has transformed its approach to prioritize customer
satisfaction, ultimately shaping its strategies, services, and relationships. In an era
characterized by fierce competition, technological innovation, and shifting
customer expectations, the banking industry has realized that customer satisfaction
isn't just a desirable outcome—it's a foundational principle that underpins its
success. Banking institutions have moved beyond mere transactional relationships
to embrace a customer-centric ethos, where each interaction is an opportunity to
create value and build lasting rapport The problem faced by the banking industry
soon surfaced in their balance sheet sheets. But the prevailing accounting practices
unable banks to dodge the issue. The rules of the game under which banks operated
changed in 1993. Norms or income Recognition, Assets classification and loan loss
provisioning were put in place and 3 capital adequacy ratio become mandatory. The
cumulative impact of all these changes has been on the concept of state ownership
in banks. It is increasingly becoming clear that the state ownership in bank is no

2
longer sustainable. The amendment of banking regulation act in 1993 saw the entry
of new private sector banks and foreign banks.

other services are also offered by banks. The banking services these days include
issuance of debit and credit cards, providing safe custody of valuable items, lockers,
ATM services and online transfer of funds across the country / world.

In today’s dynamic world banks are inevitable for the development of a country.
Banks play a pivotal role in enhancing each and every sector. They have helped
bring a draw of development on the world’s horizon and developing country like
India is no exception. Banks fulfills the role of a financial intermediary. This means
that it acts as a vehicle for moving finance from those who have surplus money to
(however temporarily) those who have deficit. In everyday branch terms the banks
channel funds from depositors whose accounts are in credit to borrowers who are
in debit. Without the intermediary of the banks both their depositors and their
borrowers would have to contact each other directly. This can and does happen of
course. This is what has led to the very foundation of financial institution like banks.
Before few decades there existed, some influential people who used to land money.
But a substantially high rate of interest was charged which made borrowing of
money out of the reach of the majority of the people so there arose a need for a
financial intermediate. The Bank have developed their roles to such an extent that
a direct contact between the depositors and borrowers in now known as
disintermediation.

1.6 Introduction of E-Banking

Banks are financial institutions which deal with accepting deposits from the public
and lending the same to those who are in urge for it. It is basically a financial
institution dealing with money. In India, there are around 27 public sector banks
operating out of which 19 are nationalised and the remaining 6 are SBI and its
associate banks, and the rest two are IDBI Bank and Bharatiya Mahila Bank, which
are categorised as other public sector banks. There are in total 93 commercial banks
in India. Almost all individuals in our society has to connect with the banks in a
way or the other i.e., whether he or she is a minor, individual, senior citizen etc. So
the need for easy access to banks has become a primary and important task in each
and everyone’s life. Due to increased use of banking services by all the citizens of
our nation, their occurred a huge necessity of instant banking services as the
customers had to wait in long queues in their respective banks to settle their
transactions.

At this moment, the advent of e-banking came to the venue which attracted majority
of the customers towards the same as it was easily accessible from their respective
homes or organisations were they carry out their routine work. At present there are
varying kinds of ebanking facilities provided by the banks to its customers on
different terms and conditions. Electronic banking is a form of banking in which
funds are transferred through an exchange of electronic signals rather than through
an exchange of cash, checks, or other types of paper documents.

Transfers of funds occur between financial institutions such as banks and credit
unions. They also occur between financial institutions and commercial institutions
such as stores. Whenever someone withdraws cash from an automated teller
machine (ATM) or pays for groceries using a debit card (which draws the amount
owed to the store from a savings or checking account), the funds are transferred via
electronic banking. Electronic banking relies on intricate computer systems that
communicate using telephone lines.

7
These computer systems record transfers and ownership of funds, and they control
the methods customers and commercial institutions use to access funds. A common
method of access (or identification) is by access code, such as a personal
identification number (PIN) that one might use to withdraw cash from an ATM
machine.

There are various electronic banking systems, and they range in size. An example
of a small system is an ATM network, a set of interconnected automated teller
machines that are linked to a centralized financial institution and its computer
system.

E-banking is otherwise called as online banking, also known as internet banking or


virtual banking, is an electronic payment system that enables customers of a bank
or other financial institution to conduct a range of financial transactions through the
financial institution's website. The online banking system will typically connect to
or be part of the core banking system operated by a bank and is in contrast to branch
banking which was the traditional way customers accessed banking services. E-
banking is defined as the automated delivery of new and traditional banking
products and services directly to customers through electronic, interactive
communication channels.

E-banking includes the systems that enable financial institution customers,


individuals or businesses, to access accounts, transact business, or obtain
information on financial products and services through a public or private network,
including the internet. Customers access e-banking services using an intelligent
electronic device, such as a personal computer (PC), Personal Digital Assistant
(PDA), Automated Teller Machine (ATM), Kiosk, or Touch Tone Telephone etc.

1.7 History of E Banking

For decades financial institutions have used powerful computer networks to


automate millions of daily transactions. In the 1950s the Bank of America was one
of the first institutions to develop the idea that electronic computers could take over
the banking tasks of handling checks and balancing accounts, which was, at that
time, extremely labour-intensive.

Other institutions gradually joined the effort and progressed away from using paper
checks and toward all-electronic banking. Data-processing machines, robotic
document sorting, and the invention of optical character recognition (a computer
application that translates handwritten or typewritten words into text that can be
machine-edited) were a few of the developments which allowed this evolution. The
first electronic banking machines were able to keep records of deposits and
withdrawals from each client, make account balance information available
instantaneously, monitor overdrafts, stop payments, and hold funds. The machines
responsible for this work today are as exact and reliable as the banking industry
requires them to be.

Electronic banking laid the groundwork for speed and convenience in individual
and commercial (business) banking. The spread of personal computer use has added
another layer of convenience and speed to the process. Electronic banking allows
customers of most banks to do their banking at any hour of the day, regardless of
the bank’s operating hours. If customers choose to do such things as transfer funds
or pay bills, they can usually do so from anywhere Internet access is available.
Online banking typically offers bank statements, electronic bill payment, funds
transfers between a customer’s checking and savings accounts (or to another
customer’s account), loan applications and transactions, and purchasing or sales of
investments, all of which allow customers to maintain their accounts without
making a trip to the bank itself.

When funds are transferred between accounts by electronic means, it is called an


electronic funds transfer (EFT). The Electronic Fund Transfer Act, passed by the

9
federal government in 1978, established that an electronic funds transfer is any
financial transaction that originates from a telephone, electronic terminal,
computer, or magnetic tape (storage tape of the sort used in video or audio
cassettes). A wire transfer is the electronic transfer of funds across a network
controlled and maintained by hundreds of banks around the world. Usually wire
transfers are reserved for moving large sums of money. Wire transfers allow people
in different geographic locations to transfer money easily.

The wire transfer payment system called Fedwire (Federal Reserve Wire Network)
links the offices of the Federal Reserve (the central bank of the U.S. government),
the U.S. Treasury (the department of the federal government that manages the
country’s revenue), and other government agencies and institutions.

One of the largest companies that provide electronic money services is Western
Union. The company started out in 1851 as a transmitter of telegraphs, messages
sent through wires as coded electronic pulses. As the telegraph became an obsolete
form of communicating information in the mid-twentieth century, Western Union
redefined itself as a provider of electronic financial transactions. Now named
Western Union Financial Services, Inc., the company specializes in electronic
money transfers and business communications services. Another prominent
provider of electronic financial transactions is PayPal, a service founded in 1999. It
is used to process payments when people buy or sell things on the Internet. The
service first gained popularity among people who used the auction website eBay.
Most of the sellers on the site were not professional merchants and so were not
equipped to accept credit cards; PayPal enabled them to receive electronic payments
while also giving buyers an alternative to mailing paper checks or money orders. In
2002 eBay acquired PayPal.

1.8 Recent Trend in E Banking

As online banking has become more sophisticated, banks have been formed that
operate exclusively as electronic banks and have no physical storefront for
customers to use. Without the costs of purchasing and maintaining physical “bricks-
and-mortar” structures like traditional banks do, online banks are able to offer
higher interest rates on savings accounts (interest payments are fees that customers

10
collect for keeping their money in the bank). Customers at online banks can use the
Internet to conduct all the standard banking transactions (including paying bills
online, viewing images of cancelled checks, and transferring money to accounts at
other banks and brokerages). Many of these customers have their employer
automatically deposit their pay checks into their bank accounts electronically (a
method called direct deposit, which is also very commonly used by clients of
traditional banks). Some employers, however, do not offer direct deposit. If a
customer of an online bank receives a paper check, he or she cannot walk into their
bank and cash it. He or she must mail the check to their bank or deposit it in an
ATM that accepts deposits for their bank. Some customers view this inconvenience
as a drawback of using an online bank.

reduction, and increased productivity and profitability. This adoption was
influenced by factors related to organizational attitudes, culture, and
infrastructure. The need for innovations in the financial sector arose due to
challenges in the traditional banking system. The introduction of innovative
banking products and services helped overcome these challenges, leading to a
transformation in banking philosophy. The paper is published in the East Asian
Journal of Multidisciplinary Research, Volume 1, Number 9, 2022.The author,
Archana Salim, has also contributed to other research works related to service
sector employment, bankruptcy prediction models, and customer satisfaction in
e-banking services.

4. Mohd. Arshad khan and Hamad A.Alhumoudi (2022) According to the


research focuses on the performance of E-Banking and the mediating effect of
customer satisfaction using a Structural Equation Model approach. The study
collected primary data from 287 participants using stratified random sampling
and analysed it through Smart PLS 3 for reliability, validity, and model fitness.
Key findings include the significant direct impact of efficiency, reliability, and
service quality on customer satisfaction and retention, as well as the mediating
role of customer satisfaction in enhancing customer retention. The research
highlights the importance of efficiency, reliability, service quality, and
customer satisfaction as crucial components of E-Banking. The study
contributes to the literature by providing insights into customer perceptions of
online banking availability, theoretical frameworks for technology issues, and
variables influencing the adoption of Internet banking.

5. BY Deraz, H., Iddris, F. (2019) The paper presents a systematic review of
44 research articles published between 2008 and 2017 on customers'
satisfaction in Internet banking. It aims to identify antecedents predicting
customer satisfaction in Internet banking, focusing on service quality,
information quality, and product quality. Asian countries had the highest
number of publications, while limited research was found from European
countries like Sweden, The Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Denmark, and
Norway, as well as from the Middle East and Africa. The main theoretical
frameworks identified were SERVEQUAL & e-SERVEQUAL.The study
confirmed the mediating role of customer satisfaction on customer loyalty

3.1 Issue of banking industry towards customers satisfaction


The banking industry faces several key issues and challenges in its pursuit of
customer satisfaction. These challenges can impact customer experiences,
loyalty, and overall industry reputation. Here are some prominent issues in
the banking industry concerning customer satisfaction:
3.1.1 Digital Transformation: While digital advancements have improved
convenience, some customers may struggle with adapting to new
technologies. Banks need to ensure that digital platforms are user-friendly,
accessible, and equipped with adequate customer support options.

30
3.1.2 Data Security and Privacy: As banking transactions increasingly
occur online, concerns over data breaches and privacy violations can erode
customer trust. Banks must invest in robust cybersecurity measures to protect
customer information and maintain their confidence.
3.1.3 Complex Processes: Traditional banking processes can be
cumbersome and time-consuming, leading to customer frustration.
Simplifying processes and reducing red tape can significantly improve the
customer experience.
3.1.4 Lack of Personalization: Many customers seek personalized banking
experiences tailored to their needs and preferences. Banks must leverage data
analytics to offer relevant and customized solutions rather than adopting a
one-size-fits-all approach.
3.1.5 Service Quality: Inconsistent service quality across different channels
or branches can negatively impact customer satisfaction. Training staff to
provide knowledgeable, respectful, and efficient service is crucial.
3.1.6 Communication Gaps: Poor communication between banks and
customers can lead to misunderstandings, missed opportunities, and
dissatisfaction. Clear, timely, and transparent communication is essential to
maintain strong customer relationships.
3.1.7 High Fees and Charges: Excessive fees, hidden charges, and complex
pricing structures can frustrate customers and lead to negative perceptions of
banks. Offering transparent fee structures and competitive rates can address
this issue.
3.1.8. Lack of Innovation: Fintech startups and non-traditional financial
services are reshaping customer expectations. Banks that fail to innovate may
lose customers seeking more innovative and convenient solutions.
3.1.9 Regulatory Compliance: Stringent regulatory requirements can
sometimes hinder the speed and flexibility with which banks can respond to
customer needs. Striking a balance between compliance and efficient service
delivery is critical.
3.1.10 Cross-Channel Consistency: With customers using multiple
channels (branches, online, mobile), maintaining consistent service quality

31
and information across these channels can be challenging but is essential for
a seamless customer experience.
3.1.11 Limited Financial Literacy: Some customers may lack a deep
understanding of financial products and services. Providing educational
resources and tools to enhance financial literacy can lead to better
decisionmaking and satisfaction.
3.1.12. Ethical Concerns: Customer satisfaction can be negatively impacted
if banks are involved in unethical practices, such as unfair lending or
questionable investment decisions. Upholding ethical standards is crucial for
maintaining trust.
Addressing these issues requires a proactive approach by the banking
industry. By focusing on customer needs, embracing technology, ensuring
transparency, and continuously adapting to changing expectations, banks can
enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty while remaining competitive in an
evolving landscape.

satisfaction. These challenges can impact the overall customer experience,
loyalty, and the 29 industry's reputation. Here are some key challenges the
banking industry faces in meeting customer satisfaction:

digital transformation is essential to meet modern customer expectations.
However, for traditional banks, integrating advanced technology can be
complex and resource-intensive. Navigating the shift to digital platforms,
ensuring cybersecurity, and providing user-friendly interfaces can be
challenging, especially for customers who may not be tech-savvy.
3.2.2. Data Privacy and Security Concerns: Banks handle sensitive
customer information, and data breaches can have severe consequences.
Maintaining robust data security measures to protect customer information

32
while providing seamless digital services is a constant challenge. Balancing
convenience with security is crucial to building and retaining customer trust.
3.2.3. Omnichannel Consistency: Customers interact with banks through
various channels—branches, online platforms, mobile apps, and call centers.
Ensuring a consistent and coherent experience across these channels can be
challenging. Misalignment between channels can lead to confusion,
frustration, and reduced customer satisfaction.
3.2.4. Personalization and Data Utilization:While customers appreciate
personalized services, banks must strike a balance between using customer
data to enhance experiences and avoiding intrusive practices that breach
privacy. Providing tailored services without crossing ethical boundaries is a
challenge that requires finesse.
3.2.5. Complex Processes and Bureaucracy: Traditional banking processes
can be intricate and time-consuming. Customers seeking efficient and
straightforward solutions can become frustrated by bureaucratic procedures,
impacting their satisfaction. Simplifying processes and streamlining
procedures is an ongoing challenge.

advancements and changing demographics are reshaping customer
expectations. Meeting the evolving demands of different customer segments
while staying relevant in a dynamic environment is a constant challenge.
3.2.7. Competition from Fintech: Fintech startups offer innovative, user-
centric solutions that challenge traditional banks. Staying competitive in the
face of these disruptors requires banks to adapt their services and processes
to align with changing industry norms.
3.2.8. Regulatory Compliance: The banking industry is heavily regulated to
ensure financial stability and protect customer interests. Striking a balance
between compliance and delivering efficient, customer-centric services can
be complex.
3.2.9. Cultural Shift and Employee Training: Transitioning to a customer-
focused culture requires banks to train employees to provide excellent service

33
and adapt to new technologies. Ensuring consistent service quality across all
staff members can be challenging.
3.2.10. Financial Literacy and Education: Many customers lack a deep
understanding of complex financial products. Banks have a responsibility to
educate customers about their options, but 31 simplifying financial concepts
and improving financial literacy can be a challenge.

Overcoming these challenges requires a strategic and holistic approach.


Banks must invest in technology, employee training, customer education, and
process optimization to create a seamless, secure, and personalized banking
experience that meets the diverse needs and preferences of their customers
