Customer’s convenience
Direct banks are open for business anywhere there is an internet connection.
They are also 24 hours a day, 365 days a year open while if internet service is
not available, customer services is normally
provided around the clock via telephone. Real-time account balances and
information are available at the touch of a few buttons thus, making banking
faster, easier and more efficient. In addition, updating and maintaining a direct

address, order additional checks and be informed for market interest rates.

banks to pay higher interest rates on savings and charge lower mortgage
and loan rates. Some offer high-yield checking accounts, high yield
certificate of deposits (CDs), and even no-penalty CDs for early
18. Services

of features that may not be found on the websites of traditional banks. These

continually being created to expand and improve this capability or smart-
phones and other mobile devices.

21. DISADVANTAGES OF E BANKING
Bank relationship
A traditional bank provides the opportunity to develop a personal relationship with that bank.
Getting to know the people at your local branch can be an advantage when a customer needs a loan
or a special service that is not normally offered to the public. A bank manager usually has some
discretion in changing the terms of customer's account if the customer's personal circumstances
change. They can help customers solve problems such as reversing an undeserved fee. The banker also
will get to know the customer and his unique needs. If the customer has a business account, this
personal relationship may help if the customer needs capital to expand. It’s easier to get the bank’s
support if there is someone who understands customer's business and vouch for his operating plan.
Transaction issues
Sometimes a face-to-face meeting is required to complete complex
transactions and address
complicated problems. A traditional bank can host meetings and call in
experts to solve a specific issue . Moreover, international transactions may be
more difficult (or impossible) with some direct banks. If a customer deposits
cash on a regular basis, a traditional bank with a drive-through window may

Some direct banks may not offer all the comprehensive financial services such
as insurance and
brokerage accounts that traditional banks offer. Traditional banks sometimes
offer special services to loyal customers such as preferred rates ad
investment advice at no extra charge. In addition, routine services such as
notarization and bank signature quarantee are not available online. These
services are required for many financial and legal transactions.
Security
Direct banks are subject to the same laws and regulations as traditional
banks and accounts are protected by the FDIC. Sophisticated
encryption software is designed to protect your account information but
no system is perfect. Accounts may be subject to phishing, hacker
attacks, malware and other un authorised activity. Most banks now
make scanned copies of cleared checks available online which helps to

24. • One of the issues currently being addressed is the impact of e-
banking on traditional banking players . After all, if there are
risks inherent in going into e-banking there are other risks in
not doing so. It is too early to have a firm view on this yet. Even
to practitioners the future of e-banking and its implications are
unclear .It might be convenient nevertheless to outline briefly
two views that are prevalent in the market .The view that the
Internet is a revolution that will sweep away the old order holds
much sway. Arguments in favour areas follows :E-banking
transactions are much cheaper than branch or even phone
transactions. This could turn yesterday’s competitive advantage
- a large branch network, into a comparative disadvantage
,allowing e banks to undercut bricks-and-mortar banks. This is
commonly known as the "beached dinosaur" theory .E banks
are easy to set up so lots of new entrants will arrive. ‘Old-world’
25. Internet banking is a new specific banking area,
part of e-banking industry, which allows people
to interact with their banking accounts
virtually from anywhere in the world. Internet
banking addresses few emerging trends such as
customer demand for any time, anywhere
services, product time to market essentials, and
increasingly complex back-office integration
challenges. One such challenge is the security of
online financial transactions. In order for the
industry to develop further, secure transactions
with the trust of the customers are necessary
aspects. Many banks advertise secure online

Indian banks are making sincere efforts for the
adoption of advanced technology and installation

the concept. E-banks should create awareness
among people about E-banking products and
services. Customers should be made literate about
the use of e-banking products and services.
