1.1 INTRODUCTION
Banking sector in India has a great emphasis being placed on technology and innovation
in the 1990s.Banks began to use technology to provide better quality of services at
greater speed .The E- Banking is becoming one of the fastest growing technologies that
are playing a significant role in the daily life of human beings. It is changing the banking
industry and is having major effects on banking relationships. Online banking is also
known as Internet Banking /virtual banking. It is provided by banks to their customers
who do not have much time to visit banks again and again. Through the E- Banking
customers can do their transaction from home. Through the E- Banking customers can
request for cheque book, balance enquiry, small transaction etc.
E- Banking provides a change from the usual way of banking, and it
provides services anywhere (24 hours in a day and 7days in a week) at any time. It also
provides more advantages to customers that mean that it avoids paperwork; less time is
consumed, and is safer. To access bank `s online E- Banking facility a customer having
personal internet access must register with the institution for the services and set up a
confidential ‘password’ for customers verification .Towards accessing E- Banking, the
customer would go to the bank’s website and login to the E- Banking facility using
customer number and password issued to him. Security of a customer’s financial
information is very important, without which online could not operate. Financial
institutions have set up various security processes to reduce the risk of unauthorized
online access to a customer’s records. E- Banking basically allows you to be able to do
everything that you can in your regular banking institution, only with the benefit that you
can do it all right from the convenience of your own home.
Banking on the Internet not only allows the customer to have a full range of services
available to them but it also allows them some services not offered at any of the branches.
The person does not have to go to a branch where that service may or may not be offered.
A person can print information, forms, and applications via the Internet and be able to
search for information efficiently instead of waiting in line and asking a teller. With more

better and faster options a bank will surely be able to create better customer relations and
satisfaction.
E- Banking gives customers control over nearly every aspect of managing his bank
accounts. Besides the Customers can, Buy and Sell Securities, Check Stock Market
Information, Check Currency Rates, Check Balances, See which checks are cleared,
Transfer Money, View Transaction History and avoid going to an actual bank. The best
benefit is that InterE- Banking is free. At many banks the customer doesn't have to
maintain a required minimum balance. E-banking has become a necessary survival
weapon and is fundamentally changing the E- Banking industry worldwide. Today, the
click of the mouse offers customers banking services at a much lower cost and also
empowers them with unprecedented freedom in choosing vendors for their financial
service needs. No country today has a choice whether to implement E-banking or not
given the global and competitive nature of the economy. The invasion of banking by
technology has created an information age and commoditization of banking services.
Banks have come to realize that survival in the new e-economy depends on delivering
some or all of their banking services on the Internet while continuing to support their
traditional infrastructure. The rise of E-banking is redefining business relationships and
the most successful banks will be those that can truly strengthen their relationship with
their customers. Without any doubt, the international scope of E-banking provides new
growth perspectives and Internet business is a catalyst for new technologies and new
business processes. With rapid advances in telecommunication systems and digital
technology
Now, Kerala has got a well-established banking system. Kerala became the first state in
India to have brick and mortar branches in all grama panchayats and villages. The growth
and development of the E- Banking system in Kerala was also highlighted by the
establishment of literacy centers in all blocks and covered all households with bank
accounts.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

2.1 REVIEW OF LITERATURE
It is relevant to refer briefly to the previous studies and researches in the related areas of
the subject to find out and to fill up the research gaps, if any. This section briefly reviews
some of the past work done on the related topic.
1.Chaudhary H.C. (1988) worked out a paper about “Marketing Information System in
Banks” stressed on the importance of marketing in banking services, different marketing
decision areas in banks and information needs for making marketing decisions in banks.
The author, on the basis of survey of nationalized commercial banks in India, suggested
usefulness of a systematic marketing information system to commercial banks and
various factors which can make the informational base of the bank strong and authentic.
2.S.Shyamali (2004) in her work “Customize, compete and conquer through technology”
highlighted that, “As the degree of uncertainty is more in banking sector they have to
depend more on building “Customer Relationship”, which is a permanent asset bringing
regular income rather than mere hardware which have obsolescence as a critical factor
“Technology shall be prudently used more as a means to achieve the end result”
3. K. N. C. Nair (2005) in his work “E-Banking: Growing Big” discussed the recent
trends in E-banking, and he focused on federal bank – IT initiatives, our recent IT
initiatives, Achievements of IT in banks and problems of E-banking. The author
concluded that banking being highly information-intensive, it is only logical to use IT as
an effective enabler and facilitator for meeting the requirements of banks and their
customers. With the changing lifestyle of customers, they need new products and
convenient delivery channels, which can be provided only by enabling technology.
4.Sharman Lictentein and Christy Williamson (2006) says in “Understanding
Consumer Adoption of Internet Banking: An Interpretive Study in the Australian
7
Context”, The study revealed that Convenience is the main motivator for consumers to
bank on the internet. It also highlighted that increasing risk acceptance by consumers and
the growing importance of deep levels of consumer support for service are the reasons for
the success of providing inter E- Banking.
5.Rajesh Kumar Srivastava (2007) on his study “Customers’ Perception on Usage of E-
Banking” focused on the issues like customer’s perception about interE- Banking and
how to improve the usage rate. The study revealed that education, gender and income
play an important role in the usage of interE- Banking.
Theoretical Framework
8
Meaning
The usage of E- Banking by the enterprises came into existence in mid 90’s.E-
BANKING came into existence in greater numbers because of low operating costs. First
it is in the form of ATM’s and phone transactions. Recently it transformed to the internet
a new channel between customers and banks which benefits both.
The main aim of e- banking services is to provide the customers a much faster service
with low cost. From the last twenty years, the E- BANKING sector has chosen a new
method of banking based on the progress of information technology. In addition to these
customers, transaction and communication abilities are fastened based on information
technology. The progress of electronic banking started with use of automatic teller
machines and afterwards it developed to online E- BANKING. In the future it will be
done in mobile phones anyway online E- BANKING continues to be the best for
financial transactions. Customers are easily able to access their accounts & perform
various financial transactions just by using their phones & laptops. It is all possible
because of e-banking. It saves the time of customers & provides 24×7 service.

BANKING can be done through Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system.

Debit cards are also known as check cards. Debit cards look like credit cards or ATM
(automated teller machine) cards, but operate like cash or a personal check. Debit cards
are different from credit cards. While a credit card is a way to “pay later,” a debit card is
a way to “pay now.” When you use a debit card, your money is quickly deducted from
your checking or savings account.

5.3 CONCLUSION
Thus reaching the conclusion of our project we observe that Traditional banks
offer many services to their customers, including accepting customers
money deposits,providing various banking services to customers, and
making loans to individuals and companies. Compared with traditional channels of
offering banking services through physical branches E-banking uses the Internet to
deliver traditional banking services to their customers, such as opening accounts,
transferring funds, and electronic bill payment...etc and it also identified that time
saving ,less cost and speed also influence customers to E- Banking .
