Additional Benefits to the

Customers have different expectations of their bank, and are willing to pay for 
different services. Now providing customers with these services can make 
customers more satisfied and more profitable 
•3 in 1 account

Integrated 3-in-1 trading platform 
•E-locker 
ING e-Locker will be an online document storage facility to store all your valuable 
documents at one central secure location. Be it your birth or marriage certificate, 
passbook statement, life insurance policy, PAN card copy or any other prized 
document, access all your documents anytime conveniently
Primary and Secondary 
Research Analysis 
As per our survey 66% people are satisfied with the services offered by banks at their 
branches but there are 34% people who still believe that the services are not upto the 
mark and they are lacking in server problem, customer service provided by the banks, 
cheque book, pass book etc not issued on time and Long waiting queues at the branches. 
If we look at these situation from a larger perspective the banks Term Deposits have 
been decreasing from 278989 to 274581 ,also the Net profit generated by the bank YOY 
has Decreased from 34% in 2012-13 to 7%in 2013-2014 
Therefore there is a need for banks to improvise on their existing digital platform to 
increase their revenue, profit, customer base, market share and to strengthen their Brand 
Name in the market. 
Banks need to include different services in their digital platform like Pockets/Wallets, 
Chat and Instant Messaging, Virtual Branch (SITE),Donate Online, Customization of 
products,3 in 1 account, E-locker to stand unique in the market as this will help them 
attract new customers and increase their customer base.
Primary and Secondary 
Research Analysis 
Now these are the services which I suggest to ING Vysya bank to help them increase 
the revenue and customer base but it is upto the banks financial and scope to 
implement them 
The cost which the bank has kept aside to implement innovative things on a yearly 
basis to increase the sales can be utilised on these services. Also apart from these 
services the bank can earn revenue using digital marketing platform by allowing 
different companies to advertise on their site . 
The cost which the company will have to bear will be on technology that is website 
development, maintenance of the website and mobile application as well as on 
recruiting new employees to run the site and maintain it.
