were The General Bank of India, which started in 1786, and bank of Hindustan, which
started in 1970, both are now defunct. The oldest bank in existence in India, which
originated in the Bank of Calcutta in June 1806, which was almost immediately,
became the Bank of Bengal. This was one of the three presidency banks, the other two
being the bank of Bombay and the bank of Madras, all three of which were
established under charters from the British East India company. For many years the
Presidency banks acted as quasi-central banks. The three banks merged in 1921 to
form the Imperial Bank of India, which upon India independence, became the state
bank of India in 1955.

control processes. technology, which is outdated not cable or not proven, may lead to
loss of bank’s investment and risk its business. many banks rely on outside service,
operate and maintain their e banking systems since they do not have the request site
providers implement expertise. however, it adds to the operational risk.

complexity of the institution’s activities and the quantity of each transaction operation
risks, specially if the institution is offering innovative services that have not been
standardized. Since customers expect e banking services to be available 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week, financial institutions should ensure their E-Banking
infrastructures contain sufficient capacity and redundancy to ensure reliable service
availability. Even institutions that do not consider E-Banking critical financial service
due to the availability of alternate processing channels, should carefully consider
customer expectations and the potential impact of service description on customer
satisfaction and loyalty. the key of controlling transaction risk lies in adapting
effective policies procedures and controls the meet the new risk exposures introduced
by E-banking.

credit quality of loans originated through e banking channel.

payment processor)
➢ Valuing collateral and perfecting, liens over a potentially wider graphic area

programs can effectively match and focused investors with potentially high yielding
deposits. but internet originated deposit has the potential to attract customers who
focus exclusively on rates and provide a finding source with risk characteristics
similar to brokered deposits. and institution can control this potential volatility and
expanded geographic reach through its deposit contract and account opening
practices. which might involve face-to-face meetings are the exchange of paper
correspondence. the institution should modify its policies as necessary to address the
following E-Banking funding issues.

engage in banking, particularly if the institution does not establish, disclose, and

be able to avoid the higher expense and added complexity but so at the risk of not
meeting customer demand for additional products and services in managing the
strategic risk associated with banking services financial institutions should developed

vendors and technology service providers.

demand.

cost and availability of staff to provide technical support for interchanges involving
multiple operating systems web browsers and communication devices competition
from other E-Banking providers and adequacy of Technical operational compliance

➢ confusion between services provided by the financial institution and services provided
by the other businesses linked from the website as noted in the previous section e

profile and the level of risk associated with the traditional financial services
particularly strategic operational legal and reputation risk this unique you banking

4. Need to integrate e banking with the institution legacy computer systems
5. dependence on third parties of necessary technical expertise and proliferation of
theatres and vulnerabilities publicly accessible networks.

and expand the institution's risk management practices as necessary to adjust risk
posed by e banking activities.

database searches or consumption of system resources-or as a convenient form of
payment for external goods and services-such as merchandise and services provided
outside the internet. It helps to automate sales activities, extends the potential number
of customer and may reduce the amount of paperwork.

existent and all transactions are done through electronic media channels such as direct
debit, credit and debit cards and electronic clearing and payment systems such as
Immediate Payment Service (IMPS), National Electronic Funds Transfer (NEFT) and
Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS).

We are the fourth-largest user of cash in the world. The rate of cash to GDP is the
highest, i.e., 12.42% in India. Cash in circulation to private consumption ratio in India
is 20% and Card transactions account for 4% of the personal consumption
expenditure. As most people are illiterate, poor, engaged in small transactions and
having less banking habits.

used to carry multiple types of currencies. Whether you can use euros, yen, dollar or
Dinar , distal provide the same smooth buying experience. Expressly for Indians
going overseas, this is a God send.

of millionaires is now entering to the prime buying time of their life. Indians in the
age group of 18 to 35 now number 450 million, as per latest estimate by Kanta IMRB
and dialogue factory March 2019. Considering that a significant chunk of this group is
digitally savvy, it would not be a farfetched to inter that they will be ready and willing
to forgo cash entirely in favor of a valid. This announce will now be and the merchant
ecosystem to take the plunge and upgrade their point-of-sale technology and payment
protocols to follow for digital transaction from this population.

wallets along the way, as the PayU- citrus pay and super retail acquisition proved
recently.

cheaper to establish an online store than a physical one. Ecommerce eliminates the
need to build physical stores in which products are cataloged.
Also, ecommerce stores are accessible from any part of the world over the Internet.
As a result, ecommerce stores are more accessible to customers globally and provide a
passive experience for commercial activities.

Ecommerce Giants: Everybody Wants to Rule the World


The ecommerce sector has become broad and diverse. However, some giants are
ruling the ecommerce world. These are businesses that have established a monopoly
of some sort and immense credibility in the ecommerce sector.
The most popular ecommerce businesses worldwide are Amazon, Alibaba, eBay,
and Walmart. These ecommerce giants have redefined the retail industry irrespective
of location. They accumulate revenues that exceed billions of dollars yearly. As
internet accessibility increases, these estimates would skyrocket. At the time of this
writing, Amazon is present in 58 countries, Alibaba in 15, Walmart in
27, MercadoLibre in 18.

Powering an Ecommerce Store


At the moment, we have a fair understanding of how ecommerce has grown in the
past years. The question many people ask today is, “How can we launch an
ecommerce store?”. When you consider the level of competition that exists in the
ecommerce sector, this becomes an important question. However, the thought that the
demand for goods and services is always rising is a comforting fact. Also, the giants
that rule the ecommerce world today have already answered that question.
There are many ways to launch an ecommerce store, but, an effective one that is cost-
saving and guarantees support is to use an ecommerce platform like Shopify or Big
Commerce.
An ecommerce platform is a software solution that allows businesses to build and
manage online storefronts. A storefront is any customer or business facing proposition
relating to the selling of products and services. These platforms provide everything a
business needs to sell online, on social media, or in person.

Benefits of an Ecommerce
Running an ecommerce store using an ecommerce platform helps you to:
Sell on a Global Scale: Using a single platform to sell products to anyone, anywhere
— online with your ecommerce store, online marketplaces, and social media, and in-
person with point of sale.
Market your Business: Use built-in marketing tools that help you create, execute,
and analyze campaigns on Facebook and Google.

Consumer Experiences

Photo by StockSnap
Just as ecommerce is changing the retail industry, it is also changing consumer
experiences in so many ways. In ecommerce, consumer experience revolves around
three key aspects:
Convenience
Personalization
Savings.
Consumers who shop online do so at their convenience, wherever, and whenever they
want. Unlike brick-and-mortar stores, consumers don’t need to be physically present
at the storefront to effect a purchase. At the consumer’s comfort, he or she can swipe
through products and with the push of a button (or a few) complete a purchase. As a
result, this saves time and guarantees satisfaction. Of course, this is very important to
the consumer.
Ecommerce businesses go the extra mile of personalizing consumer experiences.
Consumer experiences can be tailored based on the consumer’s past transactions.

THE OXFORD COLLEGE OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT Page 49


“A Study on the adoption of e-payment for the sustainable growth of online
business .”

Ecommerce platforms use insights obtained from consumers’ histories to suggest


product offers that match their interests.
By shopping online, consumers save a lot on time, money, and other valuable
resources. All consumers need to do, is place an order at a convenient time and
location, and it is then made available to them.

Clearly, reduced average purchasing power has not discouraged customers in
our emerging markets.Mobile Adaptivity
Smartphones and tablets are generating an increasing amount of web
traffic, which is boosting eCommerce purchases. Many major brands
ensure that their websites are mobile -friendly, which improves the
customer experience, and they frequently have native mobile apps to make
shopping even easier for customers. If your website is not tablet and
smartphone friendly, you will undoubtedly lose Generation Z and
millennial clients.
Furthermore, technical advancements such as improved connec tion and
voice-activated purchasing have resulted in an increase in mobile
shopping income from $3 billion to $31 billion in the United States alone.
Customers receive real-time notifications of new product launches,
exclusive deals, and promotions.

Smartphones additionally permit for location -explicit offerings, building a


more intimate customer-business relationship that drives more customers.
Think about hiring a technical support expert or an eCommerce support
virtual assistant to easily transition int o this new phase of online
commerce.

Omnichannel Retailing
Ecommerce has progressed beyond search engine optimization to other
channels of marketing to and interacting with customers. Businesses
connect with their shoppers via websites, social media, email , and
physical stores. This creates multiple channels of purchase, receipt, and
exchange of goods, with a prevalence of shopper -friendly shipping and
return policies. Customers can purchase online, pick their purchases up at
a physical store, return any defective items online, and avail discount
offers based on a certain number of referrals. This blended physical and
online experience drives more sales.
Your business must manage the omnichannel customer experience so that
each channel is a seamless brand extension and the customer can pick up
the conversation on any channel without any discordant experiences.

Convenience
Ecommerce promises 24/7 accessibility, 365 days a year, with no
downtime for public holidays, closing times, bad weather conditions, etc.
Customers can shop whenever they love, from wherever be it the comfort
of their own bed. Ecommerce makes purchasing faster and easier, without
the hassle of crowds, traffic, and awkward social interactions.

Customers can compare offerings online and read up reviews to see how
the product or service fared in the view of like -minded individuals to
determine which offer has the best value, all without having to go from
one shop to the other.
The ability to discover the desired service or product, order it, and get it
at the time and in the form convenient to the shopper at a single touch or
click has changed buying behavior, encouraging instant gratification and
thus increase eCommerce transactions. In this fast -paced world
eCommerce, today offers the value prop osition of a full shopping
experience during the only real free time available to millennials —long
commutes.
To take advantage of this trend, your website should be search -engine-
optimized, have fast loading speeds, should have a functional shopping
cart, and have updated product catalogs. Most importantly, your customer
service must be par excellence and for eCommerce especially, it should
extend to 24-hour call center support since the majority of buyers shop
after business hours. This will also significa ntly enhance your reputation.
