Engagement Banking: Building Relationships Through Online and MobileMichael McEvoy
This document discusses customer expectations for digital banking and how banks can build customer relationships through online and mobile channels. It finds that online and mobile banking are increasingly core to customer relationships. Many customers would switch banks based on the quality of digital offerings. The document also examines how to optimize the customer experience across different devices by tailoring features and design to each platform. It emphasizes aligning digital channels with how customers use their devices to build loyalty and engagement.
Online banking provides customers with convenient access to their bank accounts through the internet or mobile apps. It allows users to check balances, view transactions, transfer funds between accounts, and pay bills without visiting a physical bank location. Larger banks were early adopters of online banking capabilities, with 96% of banks with over $300 million in assets offering websites compared to 51% of smaller banks. Online banking reduces costs for banks while increasing convenience for customers. However, older customers are still hesitant to use online and mobile banking services.

E banking system benefits and challengesabhijith00007
This document discusses e-banking (online banking) in India, including its benefits and challenges. Some key benefits of e-banking are convenience, lower costs, and increased accessibility. However, security risks, lack of trust, customer awareness, and technology implementation challenges have hindered e-banking adoption.

Next, it performs SWOT analyses to compare branch and digital banking. Customer insights indicate a preference for online banking.

These changes aim to ease payments, improve customer satisfaction and marketing, and help customers manage finances. Overall, the document analyzes issues with branches, compares options, and provides a plan to transition services digitally.
Electronic banking, or e-banking, describes transactions that take place between companies, organizations, individuals, and their banking institutions using electronic communication channels. While some banks offered early forms of e-banking in the 1980s, growth was slow due to lack of interested users and high costs. However, the rise of the internet in the late 1990s made people more comfortable conducting transactions online, helping e-banking to expand.
This document discusses digital banking versus branch banking and provides a roadmap for ING Vysya Bank to move towards more digital banking. It highlights the advantages of digital banking through a SWOT analysis and compares the products offered by ING Vysya Bank and Axis Bank. Additional features for ING's digital platform like wallets, chat, a virtual branch, and customized products are proposed. Research findings show a need for banks to improve digital services to increase profits and customer base.

Editor's Notes
“Whether it’s the mundane daily tasks of paying bills, or the management of long-term financial goals, banks mustposition their online banking channel to become the epicenter of customers’ financial lives. Every bank should bechanneling investments and resources to make its Web site the financial home page for consumers.”
Change size
The number of online banking users increasing at a global compound annual growth rate of 20 percent through 2012, online banking will become the primary customer touch point in the next 10 years, according to a recent report by TowerGroup. Almost 600 million people now use online banking globally, with a projected growth rate that far outpaces that of the branch, contact center, and ATM services, TowerGroup notes
Scorecards measure and compare how well a site facilitates the completion of specific tasks and how well it meets user experience criteria. This is the overall score, based on four factors: functionality, ease of use, privacy and security, plus quality and availability. In addition, banks are rated on five specific tasks, including opening an account and making a transaction. Source: https://scorecards.keynote.com/viewscorecard.aspx?iid=1&scid=10040&oid=1

Customeradoption of online banking is associated with(1) substitution, primarily from incrementally morecostly self-service delivery channels (ATM and voiceresponse unit (VRU)); (2) augmentation of service consumptionin more costly service delivery channels(branch and call center) for example b/c are now managing money better & more frequently; (3) a substantial increase intotal transaction volume (substitution from lower opportunity costs of customer time, etc); (4) an increase in estimatedaverage cost to serve resulting from the combinationof points (1)–(3); and (5) a reduction in short-termcustomer profitability.
A greaterability for the customer to control and customize theservice experience may lead to higher customer satisfactionand hence higher rates ofrepurchases and revenues for the firm. Alternatively,greater control over the service experience may allowcustomers who adopt self-service channels to moreclosely manage their relationships with service firmsand to gain similar levels of service consumption at alower price. The customization and convenience of online allow customers to consolidate more activity at one bank – leading to more cross-sell and higher balances. And, lower defection rates due to higher switching costs and capabilities of competitors.
