Types of Banking
WORLD MARKET
Banking across the globe has been going through a major transformation over the last few years, & this
evolution looks set to continue well into 2021 & indeed beyond. The financial institution of today is
more oriented towards the customer than ever before & as such a larger proportion of its resources is
being apportioned to making the customer experience as smooth as possible.
Indeed, Deloitte’s 2021 Banking Outlook supports such a position, with the issue of Customer Centricity
being given top billing among the themes & challenges banks will need to address this year in order to
generate long term growth.
According to the report, such an objective will require innovation, managing talent differently& pursuing
key partnerships within a broader ecosystem to manufacture & deliver solutions for customers.
Additionally, the report highlights other major themes for banks to address this year:
Technology Management, whereby new solutions from multiple vendors need to be integrated
effectively & with minimal internal disruption.
Remaining the workforce, whereby banks must consider charging the composition of skills
within their workforces, given the increasing requirements for automation & the need for
greater diversity.
To successfully achieve many of these challenges, it is surprise that technology will play a pivotal
role.
Block chain is expected to continue making significant inroads into the banking industry. Block chain
solutions for payments, with companies such as IBM (International Business Machines) assisting banks
to develop platforms based on distributed –ledger technology to help transfer value globally.
As such, existing wire transfer & payments services such as SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank
Financial Telecommunication) are experience pressures as solutions to send fiat currencies instantly & at
zero cost come to fulfillment.
Last year also show a range of views being put forward by banking leaders on crypto currencies- the
block chain based digital currencies are growing rapidly in terms of investor interest.
As the price of bit coin continued to up during the year. Such a move is clearly a boon for the of digital
currency markets& Goldman’s increasing support for this new asset class could set a model for other
banks to follow this year.
A whole host of additional technologies are bound to feature heavily within the banking industry in
2018,including the likely shift in preference to cloud based storage over private data centres, the ongoing
normalization of mobile banking through further security strengthening & improved customer
convenience.
INDIAN MARKET
As per the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), India’s banking sector has sufficient & well regulated. The
financial & economic conditions in the country are superior to any other country in the world. The face
of Indian banking has changed over the years. Banks are now reaching out to the with technology to
facilitate greater ease of communication & transactions are carried out through the internet & mobile
devices.

could lead to a greater number of banks in the country, the style of operation could also evolve with the
integration of modern technology into the industry.

Internet banking
“Internet banking is the provision of banking & related service through extensive use of
information technology without direct users to the bank by the consumers.”
Internet banking system allows individuals to perform banking at home via internet. Internet
banking transaction states that customers use the internet to get their personal or business bank
accounts online anytime & to undertake banking transactions through the use of bank’ website
without inconvenience. Internet banking allows customers to do their banking transactions anytime &
providing continuous control over their accounts.
It is the most popular type & it includes full control over customer accounts such as deposits,
withdrawals, transfers, online payments & updates.
It allows interaction between the bank system &customers. The communication is restricted to e-mail
account, inquiry loan application & static file updates name &address. However, fund transfer is not
included in this type of internet banking.
It means that the bank provides main information about bank’s products & services.
Raised attainability & time saving banking processing can be made all hours a day.
The ultimate goal of any organization is generation of profits with customer satisfaction. A
satisfied customer will come back & refer the internet banking services to other as well, generating
more sales& more profits. Consumer behavior, perception& satisfaction is considered as necessary
condition for customer retention& loyalty.
But adopting internet banking doesn’t ensure a bank competitive edge over its competitors.
They have to understand consumer behavior of internet banking in deciding the right marketing
strategies & developing new marketing strategies. Thus the study concentrates on finding out who the
users of internet banking, how they use it & which type of services they preferred on internet banking.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Abou-Robich, Moutaz (2005) has observed that there is a correlation between attitude towards
internet banking & feeling of security with regard to their demographic variables.
Vardhman (2007) has examined that internet banking services makes the regular transactions for a
client speedy & time efficient with little or no paperwork involved. There is no need for standing in
long ques any more for making a deposit or getting a withdrawl.Banking has turned into a 24/7
service with the bank always available to their client.
Kesseven (2007) has observed that the mostly used internet banking services are inter account
transfer, payment to other personal account, transfer to credit cash account, recharge mobile phones
among others. Comparing demographic variables of the internet banking users to the non-internet
banking users, the analysis reveals that there is no significant difference between the two group of
users with respect to age group & the education level of the respondents.
Harris (2007) has observed that Internet banking is one of the most recent technologies innovations,
which is becoming a need for every common man.It uses internet as a medium for delivery banking
services. Today, banking is not limited to branches, where a person goes to bank for withdrawal of
cash or request a statements of accounts. An inquiry or transaction can be handled online without any
reference to the branch any time through internet banking. Benefits of internet banking include fast
speed, convenient, cost effective, all time accessibility & flexibility.
Ubadineke, Franasics.N (2009) has examined that advances information technology &
telecommunications are resulting in new delivery channels for bank products & services in the
developing countries.
Prema C (2013) has examined the process of internet banking services & states that marketing experts
should emphasize these benefits & its adoption provides & awareness can also be improved to attract
consumers’ attention to internet banking services.
R. Elavarasi (2014) has identified that satisfaction level of customer view about internet banking
website of banks. The data analysis shows that age, educational qualification, occupation, income level
of customers are significant factor that decide usage of internet banking services.
A. S. Amsunisa (2015) has identified that different age group of customers have different perception
toward the internet banking services & the usage level of these banks. Customers is different so bank
should concentrate on all the age group of customers have different perception toward internet banking
services. It has also seen that different occupation group of customers have different perception toward
the internet banking services. These are good number of customer in every group like student, service
class &professionals, it shows that they all are keen interesting in using the internet banking services.
Dr. M. Abdul Hakeem& Y. Moydheen Sha (2015) have observed that particular age group have used
the services of internet, the satisfaction of the customer majorly influenced the convenience,
awareness& responsiveness. In the present technology society, most of the banking customer prefer &
switch to internet banking facilities. So the banker may improve their services, loyalty to customers &
their retention by increasing awareness of other age groups & concentrating on the factors contributing
customer satisfaction.
In this study, I got information about bank, consumers’ behavior, perception& attitude towards internet
banking services of Bandhan bank. I got information through structured questionnaire & got responses
from the respondents.
On the basis of this information I will conclude about behavior of consumers & finding factors like
