5 AREA OF DISSONANCE
DISSONNANCE -Reducing buying behaviour .Just like complex behaviour, consumer with dissonance have high
amounts of involvement. Buyers in this behavioural situation perceive very few differences among the brands, they
select products. The keyword here is Perceiving.
A Credit Card looks just like a debit card. Instead of having the funds removed directly from your checking account
when the consumer makes a purchase, they will essentially take a short-term loan. This loan may or may not accrue
interest, depending on what they pay off. Edward Bellamy in his utopian novel Looking Backward described the
concept of using a card for purchases in 1887. Bellamy used the term credit card eleven times in this novel, although
this referred to a card for spending a CITIZENS DIVIDEND from the government, rather than borrowing.
The size of most credit cards is {3^3/8*2^1/8} in (85.60*53.98mm), conforming to the ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1standard.
Credit cards have an embossed bankcard number complying with the ISO/IEC 7812 numbering standard.
Many credit card consumers are actually unprofitable for banks. Post –Purchase Dissonance is another way to say
“after the sale discomfort”. It occurs once a consumer begins to “notice “any disadvantages of their purchase and
begin to hear “good things” about the other options that they didn’t think of. To counter these feelings marketers
should be running after sales-communication campaigns with focused targeted messaging. If there is a zero interest,
the bank is trying to establish a relationship with the consumer.
The financial world we live in today can be an intimidating arena, after challenging our perception of wealth generation
and creation. A majority of the population services on credit, either in the form of loans or overdrafts on their credit
card.
Customers get confused with their choices. Credit card blow their budget. The biggest disadvantages of credit card is
that encourage people to spend money that they don’t have .Customers are also aware that high interest rates and
increased Debt-Credit cards companies charge them enormous amount of interest on each balance that they fail to
pay-off at the end of each month.
However, when used responsibly, a credit card can be of great help and can help us in building a good credit history
allowing us to get loans at favourable interest rates, cheaper insurance. Credit cards helps earn rewards on their
everyday purchase and protects these purchases in case of theft or damage. Customers are often loyal to themselves
– to their own schedule and get attracted to cheaper products and faster services. Every bank provides every benefit
these days; hence, the customers go through a lot of dissonance. They get confused with the product and service to
stand with. Customers mostly at times get inclined towards the “excellence service” than branch. People are too busy
these days to avail late services. They have a perception that faster the service the better it is.

AXIS BANK
Among marketers, there is a growing sense that opportunistic users of financial services overlap that
unbanked/underbanked and the banking industry’s traditional base. That is for those who have a bank account may
also be interested in using a wide range of non-financial services like prepaid cards and e-commerce payment channels.
We must know that what the term underbanked means- It is a characteristic describing people or organisation who
do not have sufficient access to mainstream financial services and products typically offered by retail banks and thus
often remain deprived of banking services such as credit cards or loans. Banking and financial institutions have a range
of products designed to meet the credit requirement of the customers, thriving on our need to spend more money to
supplement our lifestyles.
In the past, one could get a loan based on their personal standing in society, but today getting credit depends on more
than just the persona relationship one has organisation, as the credit scene is a bonafide business where lenders are
more concerned about making money than building strong personal bonds with customers. Today’s banks rely on the
CIBIL score of an individual to gauge him/her before offering credit card, making this score an indispensable asset in
this huge industry.
Our research focuses on the use of traditional and next generation financial services delivery channels to serve existing
customers and on-board prospective customers with payment products, lending, deposit accounts consumer credit,
financial wellness services and date security.
Understanding the wide scope of challenges presented to market participants, Axis bank provides strategic guidance
on practical understanding of payments and financial services and continuous review of product-centric and service
oriented approaches.
While banks are eager to build relationships with the unbanked and profit from their ATM withdrawals wire transfers
and POs transaction (purchase order), those efforts are undermined by the industry’s need to maximize fee income
from the populations least able to support it. For instance, while a bank may promote its inexpensive wire transfers
(electronic fund transfer from account to another) and offer credit cards to customers without social security numbers,
it will also try to maximize overdraft revenue gleaned from those customers. The populations banks are trying to woo
are the very groups that would be hardest hit by those accruing fees and overdraft events.
Paperwork- you will need to save your receipts and check them against your statement each month.
High-cost fees- your purchase will suddenly become much more expensive if you carry a balance or miss a
payment.
Unexpected fees- typically you will pay between 2 and 4 percent just to get the cash advance.
No free lunch- The high interest rates and annual fees associated with credit cards.
Deepening your debt- Consumers are using credit more than ever before.

As in the above analysis, the initial Eigen value has been taken as one. Therefore, all the extracted squared
values from the rotated component matrix of each component must be taken into consideration if having
more than the Eigen value, which will be counted as, extracted Eigen value.
As only five components have been extracted, using Varimax with Kaiser Normalization method of 10
iterations so only 5 components will be considered as having significant relations with the factors.

From the above rotated component matrix, for each of the components only the values having more than 0.5
will be taken into consideration. The highlighted values are the significant values, which will be considered
into significant components.
So, considering the suggested factors into individual components the new segmentation could be possibly,
1. Component 1: Annual_Income @Brand Value
Usage_Period
Brand_Influence
2. Component 2: Occupation @Preferred Selection
Prefer_Axis
Staffs_Knowledge
3. Component 3: Service_Satisfaction @Customer Satisfaction
Recommendation
4. Component 4: Service_Preference @Product Portfolio
CC_Preferences
Therefore, from the above segmentation we can interpret that the company should focus on these factors in
order to bring significant growth and profit in the market.
