Points to Note 
1. Digital Banking is mainly used for Fund Transfer purposes. There is huge scope for its penetration in other aspects of banking. 
2. Customers give maximum importance to Trust, Convenience and Information Security when it comes to Banking. Digital Banking 
scores high on the second aspect but doesn’t match up to customer expectations in the other two factors. 
3. Banks fall short in Personal Assistance and Customer Care Facilities departments, indicating a need to redesign CRM processes.

ROADMAP for IMPLEMENTATION 
Strategic Positioning 
1 
•Find value proposition 
targeted to the segment 
identified. 
2 
•Enter the market with four to 
five simplified core offerings. 
Ensure a couple of necessity 
products are included. 
3 
•Offer personalized web 
experience, so that customers 
receive recommended 
products based on digital data 
4 
•Introduce a social and mobile-centric 
dimension, in which latest 
digital technologies and platforms 
would be used to enhance their 
reach and offering 
Channel Offerings 
1 
•Make multichannel access a 
core feature of the value 
proposition. 
2 
• Inculcate a light physical 
presence and agents to enhance 
the customer experience, as well 
as to promote trust and branding. 
3 
•Foster affinity and loyalty with fun 
ways to engage younger customers 
(selective gamification of certain 
aspects of banking). 
4 
•Foster a cross-partner ecosystem 
allowing creative collaboration 
and formation of communities 
and integrated applications. 
Shifting Strategies 
1 
• Shift from - 
Branch-centric, 
product-focused 
model. This is at 
best a follower 
strategy in Digital 
Banking. 
2 
• Shift to - Self-directed 
digital-centric model. 
This is a more 
proactive approach 
where customers are 
empowered to do 
their own banking 
Points to Note: 
1. The digital future for banks will come in the form of the end-to-end digital bank. 
2. A near-term digital strategy is deploying technology to reduce costs and increase effectiveness across elements of the sales 
process. 
3. The impetus for the end-to-end digital bank that is now being pioneered by innovative attackers will, however, only become 
stronger as the young digital generation gets older and wealthier.

CONCLUSION 
Learning from the Analysis 
1. The Indian banking industry is poised for change, both in terms of demand as well as in terms of 
technological advancement. 
2. Bridging the digital divide is the most important challenge facing banks. This challenge has two 
facets: 
i. Bridging the gap between conventional bankers and digital banking. 
ii. Reaching out to the rural population. 
3. ING Vysya has to implement a step-wise approach towards the shift from Branch to Digital 
Banking. 
4. The challenge lies in adopting the change in mindset as well as concentrating on improving 
those very same features which are inherently deficient in Branch Banking for the success of 
Digital Banking. 
5. Some of the important points to note towards the Digital Banking transformation include: 
i. Improved CRM systems. 
ii. Improved customer support and personal assistance. 
iii. Knowledge sharing. 
iv. Demographic, financial and social inclusion. 
6. It would help ING Vysya immensely if they could be the first mover towards this change. 
However, a strategic focus towards the long-term, including stakeholder development and 
future sustainability should be kept in mind while driving towards this change.
