a)Phone Banking/ Call Center
Definition:
A service provided by a bank, that enables customers to perform
financial transactions over the phone, without the need
to visit a bank branch or automated teller machine.
Mode of Operation:
A customer must first register with the institution for the service, and
set up some passwords for customer verification.
To access telephone banking, the customer would call a special
phone number set up by the financial institution.
Services which a customer may access through phone banking
include: obtaining account balances, mini statements, electronic bill
payments, customer care and financial information services.

a)Phone Banking/ Call Center cont’d
Advantages:
Customers can access and
manage their accounts
conveniently.
Phone banking times can be
longer than branch opening
times, and some banks offer
the service on a 24 hour basis.
Phone banking reduces the
cost of handling transactions.
Phone banking reduces the
need for customers to visit a
bank branch.
Disadvantages:
• Few banking services can be
handled using phone banking.
• Volumes of calls can increase to
the extent that the call centre
personnel can not respond to all
in time.
• DTMF technology usually caters
for a few languages.
• Banks have restrictions on which
accounts may be accessed via
telephone banking.
7. BIT 1208 Information Technology for Financial ServicesEvening ‘Group C’ Presentation: Slide 7/45
With the introduction of smart
phones with WAP support enabling
the use of the mobile web in 1999,
the first European banks started to
offer mobile banking on this platform
to their customers.
b) Mobile banking
Mobile banking is a
system that allows
customers of a financial
institution to conduct a
number of financial
transactions through a
mobile device such as a
mobile phone or personal
digital assistant.
The earliest mobile
banking services were
offered over SMS, a
service known as SMS
banking.
8. BIT 1208 Information Technology for Financial ServicesEvening ‘Group C’ Presentation: Slide 8/45
b) Mobile banking
Benefits
• Saves time - Simply use a mobile device to check account
balances, schedule and manage payments, top up your
credit card, transfer money between accounts and open
more accounts, etc.

Challenges of mobile banking
1. Handset operability
Due to various types of mobile phone devices, it is a big
challenge for banks to offer mobile banking solution on every
type of device like devices supporting Java ME , SIM
Application Toolkit, a WAP browser, or only SMS.
2.Security
Secure transmission of financial information, is the most
complicated challenge that needs to be addressed jointly by
mobile application developers, and the banks' IT
departments.
11. BIT 1208 Information Technology for Financial ServicesEvening ‘Group C’ Presentation: Slide 11/45
Challenges of mobile banking cont’d
3. Reliability
• With mobile banking, the customer may be
sitting in any part of the world) and hence
banks need to ensure that the systems are
up and running in a true 24 x 7 fashion.
• As customers will find mobile banking
more and more useful, their expectations
from the solution will increase.
• Banks unable to meet the performance
and reliability expectations may lose
customer confidence.
4. Scalability
Another challenge is
to scale-up the
mobile banking
infrastructure to
handle exponential
growth of the
customer base.
12. BIT 1208 Information Technology for Financial ServicesEvening ‘Group C’ Presentation: Slide 12/45
Challenges of mobile banking cont’d
5. Application distribution
• Some banks have developed apps installed
on mobile devices through which customers
access mobile banking services.
• Customers are expected to regularly visit
banks or connect to a web site for regular
upgrade of their mobile banking application.
• However, there could be many issues to
implement this approach such as upgrade /
synchronization of other dependent
components.
13. BIT 1208 Information Technology for Financial ServicesEvening ‘Group C’ Presentation: Slide 13/45
Solutions to the above Challenges
• Overcoming Handset Operability Challenges: Initial inter operability
issues have been localised. In India, for example, portal like R-World
are been used to enable the limitations of low-end Java based
phones. In South Africa, USSD has been utilised as a basis of
communication achievable with any mobile device.
• Overcoming Mobile Banking Security Issues: Authentication of the
device being used should be done to ensure that unauthorised
devices are not connected to perform financial transactions.
• Overcoming Reliability Challenges: Cloud Computing Technologies
should be embedded into the mobile banking systems to ensure 24/7
availability.
• Overcoming App Upgrade Challenges: Banks should develop a
mobile application that checks the upgrades and updates and
downloads necessary patches by itself.
14. BIT 1208 Information Technology for Financial ServicesEvening ‘Group C’ Presentation: Slide 14/45
Sample Examples of banks offering mobile banking

15. BIT 1208 Information Technology for Financial ServicesEvening ‘Group C’ Presentation: Slide 15/45
c) Internet banking
Definition: Internet banking is a term used to describe the
process whereby a client executes banking transactions
using an internet browser.
This kind of banking eradicates the necessity of physical
movement to financial positions.
This type of banking uses the internet as the chief medium
of delivery by which banking activities are executed.
The activities clients are able to
carry out are can be classified to as
transactional and non transactional.
16. BIT 1208 Information Technology for Financial ServicesEvening ‘Group C’ Presentation: Slide 16/45
c) Internet banking
Non transactional activities
• Account balance viewing
• Viewing of previous bank
transactions
• Bank statement downloading
• Check book ordering
• Viewing of images of paid
cheques
• M banking and E banking
applications downloading
• Provision of account/ bank
statements
Transactional activities
• Electronic funds transfer
• Bill payments and wire
transfers
• Loan application and
repayments
• Buying investment
products
• Internet banking has its
advantages and
disadvantages.
17. BIT 1208 Information Technology for Financial ServicesEvening ‘Group C’ Presentation: Slide 17/45
Advantages of Internet Banking
Effectiveness: – At the touch of a button, actual time account
balances and information are availed. This hastens the banking
processes hence increasing their efficiency and effectiveness.
Friendlier rates and free services: – Self Care and Lack of
overhead support costs results to banks offering higher interest
rates on savings and charge lower rates on mortgages and
loans, plus free services such as free checking of statements.
Transfer services: – Internet banking allows automatic
funding of accounts from long established bank accounts via
electronic funds transfers.
Ease of monitoring: – A client can monitor his/her spending
via a virtual wallet through certain banks and applications and
enable payments.
18. BIT 1208 Information Technology for Financial ServicesEvening ‘Group C’ Presentation: Slide 18/45
Advantages of Internet Banking cont’d
Ease of transaction: – the speed of transaction is faster
relative to use of ATM’s or customary banking.
Convenience: – Banks that offer internet banking are open for
business transactions anywhere a client might be as long as
there is internet connection. Apart from periods of website
maintenance, services are available 24 hours a day and 365
days round the year.
Real Time Systems: –Detailed information can be offered via
internet banking in real time. For example one can be able to
see transactions which have taken place in the past hour,
compared to branch banking which might require 24 hours to
update the information.
19. BIT 1208 Information Technology for Financial ServicesEvening ‘Group C’ Presentation: Slide 19/45
Disadvantages of Internet banking
Poor Banking relationship: – Customary banking allows
creation of a personal touch between a bank and its clients,
unlike Internet banking.
Ignorance about use: – Banks with complicated sites can be
cumbersome to navigate and may require one to read through
tutorials to use the service.
Not suitable for complex transactions : – face to face
meetings are better in handling complex transactions and
problems, which can not be easily resolved through internet
banking.
Security matters: – Complex encryption software is used to
protect account information. However, there are no perfect
systems. Accounts are prone to hacking attacks, phishing,
malware and illegal activities.
20. BIT 1208 Information Technology for Financial ServicesEvening ‘Group C’ Presentation: Slide 20/45
How to offer secure environment for financial
transactions
1. User ID / Password authentication of bank’s customer.
2. Encryption of the data being transmitted over the internet.
3. Encryption of the data that will be stored in device for later / off-line
analysis by the customer.
4. One-time password (OTPs) can be used to fight against cyber fraud.
OTPs are requested by consumers each time they want to perform
online transactions using the website banking interface. The
password is sent to the consumer’s phone via SMS. The password
expires once it has been used or once its scheduled life-cycle has
expired.
5. Physical security: If the bank is offering smart-card based security,
the physical security of the device is very important.
6. Use of a secure protocol such as HTTPS instead of HTTP.

d) ATM
• An Automated
Teller Machine is
an electronic
telecommunicatio
ns device that
enables
the clients of
a financial
institution to
perform financial
transactions witho
ut the need for a
cashier, human
clerk or bank teller.
It is also known as an automated
banking machine (ABM), cash
machine, cashpoint, cashline or hole
in the wall.
23. BIT 1208 Information Technology for Financial ServicesEvening ‘Group C’ Presentation: Slide 23/45
d) ATM cont’d
Common ATM Services
• Cash withdrawals,
• Debit card cash advances,
• Check their account balances as well as get mini statements
• Purchase pre-paid mobile phone credit.
• If the currency being withdrawn from the ATM is different from that
which the bank account is denominated in (e.g.: Withdrawing US
dollars yet the bank account is in Uganda Shillings), the money will be
converted at an official wholesale exchange rate.
• Thus, ATMs often provide one of the best possible official exchange
rates for foreign travellers, and are also widely used for this purpose.
24. BIT 1208 Information Technology for Financial ServicesEvening ‘Group C’ Presentation: Slide 24/45
d) ATM
Mode of Operation:
• The customer is usually identified by inserting a plastic ATM
card with a magnetic stripe or a plastic smart card with
a chip that contains a unique card number and some
security information such as an expiration date
or CVVC (CVV).
• Authentication is provided by the customer entering
a personal identification number (PIN).
25. BIT 1208 Information Technology for Financial ServicesEvening ‘Group C’ Presentation: Slide 25/45
d) ATM cont’d
Mode of Operation cont’d:
• Today the vast majority of ATMs
worldwide use a Microsoft
Windows operating system,
primarily Windows XP
Professional or Windows XP
Embedded.
• Linux is also finding some
reception in the ATM
marketplace. An example of this
is Banrisul, the largest bank in the
south of Brazil, which has
replaced the MS-DOS operating
systems in its ATMs with Linux.
DeLaRue Bank ATM

with ATMs in empty parking lots,
poorly lighted places, or behind bank
buildings.
• ATM Fraud: There are thieves who
clone ATM cards use hidden cameras
to capture PIN code in order to steal
money.
• Limitation of Cash Withdraws: ATMs
do not allow users to withdraw money
exceeding a certain set amount.
• Illiteracy: Many bank customers do
not know how to operate Automated
Teller Machines.
• High Fees: You will also be charged high
fees for using Inter-switch ATMs not
owned by your bank or those in foreign
countries.
• Inefficient Deposits: Cash deposit facility
is risky and normally takes a longer
period of time before the deposited
money is credited on the account.
• Card Retention: ATMS commonly
malfunction and retain customer ATM
cards
• Few Denominations: Most ATMS give
out money using notes in particular
denominations, denying users the choice
of withdrawing other denominations.

e) POS
• Point of sale (also called POS or checkout)is the point at which a
customer makes a payment to the merchant in exchange for goods or
services.
• At the POS, the retailer would calculate the amount owed by the
customer and provide options for the customer to make payment.
The merchant will also normally issue a receipt for the transaction.
• The POS in various retail industries uses customized hardware and
software as per their requirements.
30. BIT 1208 Information Technology for Financial ServicesEvening ‘Group C’ Presentation: Slide 30/45
e) POS cont’d
Mode of Operation.
• Retailers may utilize weighing scales, scanners, electronic and manual
cash registers, EFTPOS terminals, touch screens and any other wide
variety of hardware and software available for use with POS.
For example, a
grocery or candy store
uses a scale at the
point of sale, while
bars and restaurants
use software to
customize the item or
service sold when a
customer has a
special meal or drink
request.
31. BIT 1208 Information Technology for Financial ServicesEvening ‘Group C’ Presentation: Slide 31/45
Features of a POS system
• Ease of use. Most POS systems are designed with a user-friendly
graphical interface.
• Entry of sales information. Most systems allow you to enter
inventory codes either manually or automatically via a bar-code
scanner. Once the inventory code is entered, the systems call up the
standard or sales price, compute the price at multiple quantities and
provide a running total. Many systems make it easy to enter sales
manually when needed by letting you search for inventory codes
based on a partial merchandise number, description, manufacturing
code or vendor.
• Pricing. POS systems generally offer a variety of ways to keep track of
pricing, including add-on amounts, percentage of cost, margin
percentage and discounts.
32. BIT 1208 Information Technology for Financial ServicesEvening ‘Group C’ Presentation: Slide 32/45
Features of a POS system cont’d
• Updating product information. Once a sale is entered, these systems
automatically update inventory and accounts receivable records.
• Sales tracking options. If you sell expensive goods and allow
instalment purchases, you might appreciate a loan calculator that
tabulates monthly payments. And if you offer rent-to-own items,
you'll want a system that can handle rentals as well as sales.
• Security. In retail, it's important to keep tight control over cash
receipts to prevent theft. Most of these systems provide audit trails
so you can trace any problems.
• Taxes. Many POS systems can support numerous tax rates-useful if
you run a mail order business and need to deal with taxes for more
than one state.
33. BIT 1208 Information Technology for Financial ServicesEvening ‘Group C’ Presentation: Slide 33/45
Types of POS terminals
1. Retail POS. These are POS terminals used in retail shops and
supermarkets.
• A retail point of sale system typically includes a cash register
comprising of: A computer, cash drawer, receipt printer, customer
display, barcode scanner and a debit/credit card reader.
• It can also include a conveyor belt, weight scale, integrated credit
card processing system, a signature capture device and a customer
pin pad device.
• Some POS monitors use touch-screen technology for ease of use and
a computer is built into the monitor chassis for what is referred to as
an all-in-one unit.
• The POS system software can handle customer based functions such
as sales, returns, exchanges, customer loyalty programs, promotions,
discounts, foreign currency handling, multiple payment types, etc.

computerized systems incorporating registers, computers and
peripheral equipment, usually on a computer network to be used in
restaurant, hair salons or hotels.
• Like other point of sale systems, these systems keep track of sales,
labor and payroll, and can generate records used in accounting and
book keeping.
• Typical restaurant POS software is able to create and print guest
checks, print orders to kitchens and bars for preparation,
process credit cards and other payment cards, and run reports.
• In addition, some systems implement wireless pagers and electronic
signature capture devices.
