EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Internet banking has evolved over the last decade from product brochure ware, to a
complete financial marketplace for its online customers. Banks see Internet banking
as the key channel for growth and customer retention. As such, the online banking
model has moved from tactical and lower cost customer service, to a more strategic
form of customer engagement. Many banks have adopted the latest technologies and
added new Internet banking functionalities and features to stay ahead of the
competition. However, when measured by key performance indicators such as customer
growth, revenue growth, etc., the value delivered varies from bank to bank. While
some banks achieve better customer response and retention from adding new
technology/feature bells and whistles, others have received moderate to poor
acceptance, which has undermined their return on investment. The challenge is to
find the right approach and leverage the right mix of technology and features that
keep customers happy and transacting over an extended period of time.

1.1

INTERNET BANKING (E-BANKING): INTRODUCTION

Internet banking (or E-banking) means any user with a personal computer and a
browser can get connected to his banks website to perform any of the virtual
banking functions. In internet banking system the bank has a centralized database
that is web-enabled. All the services that the bank has permitted on the internet
are displayed in menu. Any service can be selected and further interaction is
dictated by the nature of service. Once the branch offices of bank are
interconnected through terrestrial or satellite links, there would be no physical
identity for any branch. It would a borderless entity permitting anytime, anywhere
and anyhow banking. The delivery channels include direct dialup connections,
private networks, public networks, etc. with the popularity of computers, easy
access to Internet and World Wide Web (WWW), Internet is increasingly used by banks
as a channel for receiving instructions and delivering their products and services
to their customers. This form of banking is generally referred to as Internet
Banking.

1.2 HISTORY
The concept of Internet banking has been simultaneously evolving with the
development of the World Wide Web. Programmers working on banking data bases came
up with ideas for online banking transactions, sometime during the 1980's. The
creative processes of development of these services were probably sparked off after
many companies started the concept of online shopping. The online shopping promoted
the use of credit cards through Internet. Many banking organizations had already
started creating data ware housing facilities to ease their working staffs. The
development of
8
these data bases were widely used during the development of ATM's. The first online
banking service in United States was introduced, in October 1994. The service was
developed by Stanford Federal Credit Union, which is a financial institution. The
online banking services are becoming more and more prevalent due to the well
developed systems. Though there are pros and cons of electronic cash technology, it
has become a revolution that is enhancing the banking sector.

1.3 DEVELOPMENT OF INTERNET BANKING IN INDIA

•

The concept of Internet banking has been simultaneously evolving with the
development of the World Wide Web.

Programmers working on banking data bases came up with ideas for online banking
transactions, sometime during the 1980's.

• •

The online shopping promoted the use of credit cards through Internet. The first
online banking service in United States was introduced, in October 1994.

The online banking services are becoming more and more prevalent due to the well
developed systems

ICICI was the first bank to initiate the Internet banking revolution in India as
early as 1997 under the brand name

ICICI Bank kicked off online banking way back in 1996. But even for the Internet as
a whole, 1996 to 1998 marked the adoption phase, while usage increased only in
1999- due to lower ISP online charges, increased PC penetration and a tech-friendly
atmosphere

9
Use of internet banking from last few years
60 50% 50 40% 40 32% 30 20% 20 12% 10 0 9% 15% 25% 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007
2008 2009

Although, the growth shows a healthy 10 10% % increase from 2008 to 2009 from 57 7
million users to 71 million Internet users, in larger perspective this is really
nothing to boast of. To put things in perspective, we are adding close to 15
million mobile users on average in a month, while in case of Internet it is 14
million users a year.

1.4 VARIOUS FORMS OF E E-BANKING: a. INTERNET BANKING:

Internet banking can be used from the home or the office, as well as an internet
café, although the latter is not recommended for security reasons. In order to
handle his account a user just needs an internet browser.

10
b. CREDIT CARDS: The credit card enables the cardholders to: Purchase any item like
clothes, jewellery, railway/air tickets, etc. Pay bills for dining in a restaurant
or boarding and lodging in hotel. Avail of any service like car rental, etc.

c. DEBIT CARDS: A debit card is issued on payment of a specified amount by the

issuing company like a telephone company to a customer on cash payment or on
debiting his account by a bank. Thus it is like an electronic purse, which can be
read and debited by the required amount. It may be noted that while through a
credit card, the customer first makes a purchase or avails service and pays later
on, but for getting the debit card, a customer has to first pay the due amount and
then make a purchase or avail the service. For this reason, debit card are not as
popular as credit cards.

d. SMART CARDS: Smart Cards have a built-in microcomputer chip, which can be used
for storing and processing information. For example, a person can have a smart card
from a bank with the specified amount stored electronically on it. As he goes on
making transactions with the help of the card, the balance keeps on reducing
electronically. When the specified amount is utilized by the customer, he can
approach the bank to get his card validated for a further specified amount. Such
cards are used for paying small amounts like telephone calls, petrol bills, etc.

11
e. ATM CARDS: The card contains a PIN (Personal Identification Number) which is
selected by the customer or conveyed to the customer and enables him to withdraw
cash up to the transaction limit for the day. He can also deposit cash or cheque.

1.5 ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES OF INTERNET BANKING: Advantages of Internet Banking

Internet Banking has several advantages over traditional banking which makes
operating a bank account simple and convenient. Internet banking allows you to
conduct various transactions using the bank's website and offers several
advantages. Some of the advantages of internet banking are:
• •

Internet banking account is simple to open and easy to operate. Internet banking is
quite convenient as you can easily pay your bills, can transfer funds between
accounts, etc. Now you do not have to stand in a queue to pay off your bills; also
you do not have to keep receipts of all the bills as you can now easily view your
transactions.

Internet banking is available all the time, i.e. 24x7. You can perform your tasks
from anywhere and at any time; even in night when the bank is closed or on
holidays. The only thing you need to have is an internet connection.

12
•

Internet banking is fast and efficient. Funds get transferred from one account to
the other very fast. You can also manage several accounts easily through internet
banking.

Through Internet banking, you can keep an eye on your transactions and account
balance all the time. This facility also keeps your account safe. This means that
by the ease of monitoring your account at anytime, you can get to know about any
fraudulent activity or threat to your account before it can pose your account to
severe damage.

Internet banking is also a great medium for the banks to endorse their products and
services. The services include loans, investment options, and many others.

Disadvantages of internet banking

•

Understanding the usage of internet banking might be difficult for a beginner at

the first go. Though there are some sites which offer a demo on how to use internet
banking, but all does not offer this facility. So, a person who is new to internet
baking might face some difficulty.

You cannot have access to internet banking if you don’t have an internet
connection; thus without the availability of internet access, internet banking may
not be useful.

Security of transactions is a big issue. Your account information might get hacked
by unauthorized people over the internet.

13
•

Password security is a must. After getting your net banking password, do change it
and memorize it otherwise your account may be misused by someone who gets to know
your password inadvertently.

• •

You cannot use internet banking, in case; the bank’s server is down. Another issue
is that sometimes it becomes difficult to note whether your transaction was
successful or not. It may be due to the loss of internet connectivity in between,
or due to a slow connection, or the bank’s server is down.

3.6 INTERNET BANKING RISKS:

CREDIT RISK: Credit risk is the risk to earnings or capital arising from
an obligator's failure to meet the terms of any contract with the bank or otherwise
to perform as agreed. Credit risk is found in all activities where success depends
on counterparty, issuer, or borrower performance. It arises any time bank funds are
extended, committed , invested or otherwise exposed through actual or implied
contractual agreements , whether on or off the bank’s balance sheet.

INTEREST RATE RISK: Internet rate risk is the risk to earnings or

capital arising from movements in interest rates. Interest rate risk arises from
different between the timing of rate changes and timing of cash flows. Internet
banking can attract deposits, loans and other relationships from a large pool of
possible customers than other forms of marketing. Greater access to customers who
primarily seek the best rate or term reinforces the

38
need for managers to maintain appropriate asset/liability management systems,
including the ability to react quickly to changing market conditions.

LIQUIDITY RISK: Liquidity risk is the risk to earnings or capital

arising from a bank's inability to meet its obligations when they come due, without
incurring unacceptable losses. Liquidity risk arises from the failure to recognize
or address changes in market conditions affecting the ability of the bank to
liquidate assets quickly and with minimum loss in value. Asset/liability and loan
portfolio management systems should be appropriate for products offered through
internet banking. Increased monitoring of liquidity and changes in deposits and
loans may be warranted depending on the volume and nature of internet account
activities.

PRICE RISK: Price risk is the risk to earnings or capital arising from
changes in the value of traded portfolio of financial instruments. The risk arises
from market making, dealing and position taking in interest rate, foreign exchange,
equity and commodities markets. Banks may have exposed to price risk if they create
or expand deposit brokering, loan sales, or securitization programme as a result of
Internet banking activities. Appropriate management systems should be maintained to
monitor, measures, and manage price risk if assets are activity traded.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK: Foreign Exchange risk is present

when a loan or portfolio of loans is dominated in a foreign currency or is funded
by borrowings in another currency. In some cases, banks will enter into multi-
currency credit commitments that permit borrowers to select the
39
currency they prefer to use in each rollover period. Foreign exchange risk can be
intensified by political, social or economic development. Appropriate systems
should be developed if bank engage in these activities.

REPUTATION RISK: Reputation risk is the current and prospective

impact on earnings and capital arising from negative public opinion. This affects
the institution's ability to establish new relationships or services. This risk may
expose institution to litigation, financial loss, or a decline in its customer
base. A bank's reputation can suffer if it fails to deliver on marketing claims or
to provide accurate, timely services. National Banks need to a sure that their
business Continuity plans include the internet banking business. Regular testing or
business continuity plan, communications strategies with the press and public, will
help the bank ensure it can respond effectively and promptly to any adverse
customer of media reactions.

TRANSACTION RISK: Transaction risk is the current and

prospective risk to earnings and capital arising from fraud, error, and the
inability to deliver products or services, maintain a competitive position, and
manage information. Transaction risk is evident in each product and service offered
and encompasses product delivery, transaction processing, system development,
computing systems, complexity of products and services, and the internal control
environment. A high level of transaction risk may exist with Internet banking
products, particularly if those lines of business are not adequately planned,
implemented and monitored.

40
COMPLIANCE RISK: Compliance risk is the risk to earning or capital
violations of, or nonconformance with, laws, rules, regulations, prescribed
practices, or ethical standards. Compliance risk is also arises in situations where
the laws or rules governing certain bank products or activities of the bank’s
clients may be ambiguous or untested. Compliance risk exposes the institution to
fines, civil money penalties, payment of damages, and the voiding of contracts.

STRATEGIC RISK: Strategic risk is the current and prospective impact

on earnings or capital arising from adverse business decisions, improper
implementation of decisions, or lack of responsiveness to industry changes. The
risk is a function of the compatibility of an organization’s strategic goals, the
business strategies developed to achieve those goals, the resources deployed
against these goals, and the quality of implementation. The resources needed to
carry out business strategies are both tangible and intangible. They include
communication channels, operating systems, delivery networks, and managerial
capacities and capabilities. The organization’s internal characteristics must be
evaluated against the impact of economic, technological, competitive, regulatory,
and other

environmental hangs.

TYPES

OF

SECURITY

THREATS

IN

ONLINE

BANKING:
Banks and service providers require guarding against various types of online
attacks. The purpose of an attack may vary. In operating systems of particular
kind, attackers may try to exploit know vulnerabilities. During a short time frame,
they also may try to make an unauthorized entry into a Web site repeatedly thus
denying service to other customers. Types of attacks may include: Sniffers - Also
familiar as network monitors, this software is used to capture keystrokes from a
specific PC. Logon Ids and passwords may be captured with this software. Guessing
Passwords - We can test all possible combinations to enter into a network using
this software. Brute Force - A technique to capture encrypted messages then using
software to break the code and gain access to messages, user ID's, and passwords.
Random Dialing - To dial every number on a known bank telephone exchange, this
technique is used. The purpose is to find a modem connected to the network. This
could then be used as a point of attack. Social Engineering - To gain information
about the system along with changing password, an attacker calls the bank's help
desk impersonating an authorized user.
42
Hijacking - Attempting to deduce information from them there by intercepting
transmissions. Internet traffic is particularly susceptible to this threat.
Fraudulent Bank Websites: A suspicious bank website: www.sbionline.com Original
bank website: www.onlinesbi.com.

These website are believed to aim to trick persons into disclosing their sensitive
personal information

Fake e-mails: Fake e-mails Email send from fraudulent bank Verify the personal
information Guide customer enter the fraud link. Disclosing their ATM card numbers
and their passwords

Viruses and Worms-Trojan Horse Program: Viruses and Worms-Trojan Horse Program When
we open some suspicious websites or email Trojan Horse Program will install our
computer secretly Hidden in the computer When you access bank websites Capture our
account and the password.

CHAPTER 6 CONCLUSION

56
CONCLUSION
Studying the project I came to know that Internet banking is clearly the way
forward for the State Bank of India. It provides comfort to customers at the same
time it provides cost cutting to SBI by eliminating physical documentation.
Internet banking saves time of bank as well as those of customers. Study states
that internet banking provides greater reach to customers. Feedback can be obtained
easily as internet is virtual in nature. Customer loyalty can be gain. Personal
attention can be given by bank to customer also quality service can be served. Bank
should know that No system is perfect, however a system of such a type will need to
be very secure. This is a system which holds account details and customers wealth.
If such a system was not trusted and not reliable, then SBI would face serious laws
and would lose business.
