5 OBJECTIVE

Identify the risks and risk management practices associated with e-banking

activities. Provide standardized guidance to examiners on e-banking reviews.

This study has been developed for those of you who are keen to acquiresome basic

but key information about Banking industry as an initial step towardsbecoming a

more informed individual. I hope this module will act as a meansof satisfying some

of your initial queries on this industry.

The paper aims to examine the scenario of ATM in banks. In this broader

framework, an attempt is made to achieve the following specific objectives:

To analyze the present ATM facilities

To examine the factors affecting the choice of ATM.

To examine the impact of ATM on customer satisfaction by appraising the

problems faced by the customers.

To analyze the post purchase behavior of customers regarding the different

banks under study.

12

6 DATA COLLECTION

Primary data has been collected through questionnaire. A sample size of 100

respondents

―Impact of ATM on customer satisfaction‖ focus that customer satisfaction is

one of the major factors measuring the performance of the banks. This paper

examines the customer satisfaction level in the three banks under study with

special reference to problems faced, responses about the fee charged and post

purchase behavior of the consumers after using ATM. The paper also examines the

relationship between various ATM facilities, factors affecting the choice of ATM

and its interplay with customer satisfaction.

The customer satisfaction level has been analyzed in two terms i.e. material

customer satisfaction (MCS) level and abstract customer satisfaction (ACS) level.

Customer satisfaction in material sense denotes the aggregate position of the banks

in terms of fee charged, frequency with which problems are faced and post

purchase behavior of the customers. In abstract sense, customer satisfaction level

denotes the position of the banks in terms of post purchase behavior, the efficiency

of facilities provided and the example of others using the ATM of the same bank.

7 Research Methodology & Data Base

The present study is of analytical and exploratory nature. Accordingly, the use has

been made of primary as well as secondary data. The secondary data have been

collected mainly from RBI monthly bulletins, Financial Express political weekly,

various newspapers and other literature available in the field. To know the

problems of ATM structured questionnaires have been used to collect the data

from customers using ATM services.

15 DEFNEATION OF ATM ATM means neither “avoids traveling with money” nor “any time money,” but

certainly implies both. Slim ATM cards are fast replacing confounding withdrawal

forms as a convenient way of getting your money from banks. In a way, they are

rewriting the rules of financial transaction. A smart person no longer needs to carry

a wallet-full of paper money on his person. All he needs to do is fish out an ATM

(automated teller machine) card, insert it in the slot, punch in a few details and go

home with hard cash.

Automated teller machines (ATMs) were the first well-known machines to

provide electronic access to customers. With advent of Automatic Teller Machines

(ATM), banks are able to serve customers outside the banking hall. ATM is

designed to perform the most important function of bank. It is operated by plastic

card with its special features. The plastic card is replacing cheque, personal

attendance of the customer, banking hour‘s restrictions and paper based

verification. ATMs have made hard cash just seconds away all throughout the day

at every corner of the globe. ATMs allow you to do a number of banking functions

– such as withdrawing cash from one‘s account, making balance inquiries and

transferring money from one account to another – using a plastic, magnetic-strip

card and personal identification number issued by the financial institution.

31

15.1 Elgibility of ATM DEBIT CARD

3. Staff Overdraft accounts (SOD).

4. Minors of 15 years of age and above maintaining Saving Bank account in his

individual name with operational instruction as ―Self‖. (not through father &

natural guardian).

5. Visually impaired persons.

3. Customer maintaining ―Nagarik Bachat Khata‖.

4. Account having same customer ID >Card to be linked with other A/Cs

15.3 THE INDIAN ATM INDUSTRY

The Indian ATM industry has seen explosive growth in recent times. ATMs

represent the single largest investment in the electronic channel services for the

Banks. In India, HSBC set the trend and set up the first ATM machine here in

1987. Since then, they have become a common sight in many of our metros.

Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) have gained prominence as a delivery

channel for banking transactions in India. Banks have been deploying ATMs to

increase their reach. While ATMs facilitate a variety of banking transactions for

customers, their main utility has been for cash withdrawal and balance enquiry. As

at the end of October 2007, the number of ATMs deployed in India was 31,078.

According to some estimates the total cash movement through ATMs across India

was around Rs. 70,000 crore in FY 06. Clearly, industry watchers forecast a bright

future for ATMs in India. While the ATM is a great service for customers, for the

banks it means immense savings on the cost of operations. While a typical cash

transaction carried out in a banks branch premise would cost Rs 40 that in an ATM

will only cost Rs18translating into a cost saving of Rs 22 per transaction.

33

15.4 ATM NETWORKS

The ATMs of a bank are connected to the accounting platform of the bank through

ATM switches. Inter-bank ATM networks are created by setting up apex level

switches to communicate between the ATM switches of different banks. The inter-

bank ATM networks facilitate the use of ATM cards of one bank at the ATM(s) of

other banks for basic services like cash withdrawal and balance enquiry. Banks

owning the ATMs charge a fee for providing the ATM facility to the customers of

other banks. The ATM deploying bank from the card issuing banks recovers this

fee referred to as ‗interchange fee‘. However the interchange fee is not fixed across

banks and depends on the terms of bilateral / multilateral arrangements. Banks with

larger ATM network treat interchange fee as an important stream of revenue.

15.5 INTER CONNECTIVITY OF ATM NETWORKS

16 MATERIAL CONSUMER SATISFACTION

LEVEL:

Material customer satisfaction level has been examined on the basis of three

variables i.e. reasonability of the fee charged, frequency with which problems are

faced and the post purchase behavior of the customers.

16.1 Fee Charged

Fee charged by the banks is one of the variables taken for checking customer

satisfaction level. If customer feels that the fee charged by the bank is reasonable

then he is satisfied and vice-versa. Five degrees of reasonability have been taken

and they are coded as 5, 4, 3, 2, &1. There is direct relation between fee charged

and customer satisfaction.

16.2 Problems Faced

Second parameter for measuring MCS level is problems faced by the consumers

while using ATM of a particular bank. If consumers are facing problems more

frequently, customer satisfaction level will be less and vice-versa. There is indirect

relation between the problems faced and the customer satisfaction. Three degrees

namely often, rarely and never have been taken and they have rated as 3, 2, & 1

respectively.

56

16.3 Post Purchase Behavior

Post purchase behavior has been analyzed through two statements. If they are

agreeing with these statements then their customer satisfaction level is rated to be

high. There are five degrees for each statement and they are rated as 5,4,3,2 & 1

accordingly. Post purchase behavior has direct relation with customer satisfaction

level.

17 Overall Material Customer Satisfaction Level

After considering all the elements of customer satisfaction they are combined

together to find out the overall customer satisfaction level in materialistic terms.

The overall customer satisfaction level is the combination of three parameters i.e.

fee charged, frequency of the problems faced and the post purchase behavior.

18 Abstract Customer Satisfaction Level (ACS)

Abstract customer satisfaction level has been examined through the deep study of

the various parameters of customer satisfaction. Three parameters have been

chosen for this purpose i.e. factors affecting choice of ATM, the purpose for which

ATM is often used and the problems faced while using ATM.

18.1 Factors affecting choice of ATM

While choosing ATM of a particular bank customer takes care of some things.

They are known as factors affecting the choice of ATM.

57

18.2 The purpose for which ATM is most often used

ATM does not mean the plastic card and PIN (Personal Identification Number) but

the services for which you can use it are the most important part. These services

are cash/cheque deposit, fast cash withdrawal, view account balances & mini

statements and request a chequebook or account statement.

Among all the factors affecting example of others is one, which is the clear

indicator of the customer satisfaction. People will purchase ATM of a

particular bank on the basis of other‟s example if customers using it

previously are satisfied.

33 Findings & Suggestion:

94

During My Tranning I observed several problem being faced by ATM Card

holders and other customers of the Bank. Which can be Categorised as below:

a. The customer has lost the card but due to ignorence has failed to get it

blocked. Hence in certain cases the lost card was used by unscrupules person

for purchasing Petrol etc.

b. In very many- many cases while using the ATM card. The transacation took

place without dispensing the money.

c. Quite often the card entangles in ATM machine and the customer gets

neither money nor the card.

Moreover the Branch Issues the ATM cards promptly and intimate the customers

on their mobile, but in very many-many cases customers fail to turnup and collect

their cards. Which creates the big problem for the Bank to store and maintain their

methodical iteneary.

Further I observed that because of acute dearth of staff in the Bank. The above

mention problems are not being attended swiftly. One staff/ officer is essentialy

required to handel the said problems, which the Bank is unabel to affored

presently.

34 Conclusion:

95

Everyone is aware that in the present social milieu more & more people are using

and becoming dependent on technology.

While recapitulating my project which is based on technology related to banking‟s

Net-Technology i.e. ATM & Internet banking. It is observed that there are very

many advantages & something few disadvantage also, which may be phased out

with coming developments.

As far as advantages are concerned customers using ATM & Net-Banking are

getting fast & superior services. Which saves their time & energy. Simultaneously

cases of fraud & phising e-mails are some disadvantages which hopefully may be

countered in future.
