AKNOWLEDGEMENT
Introduction
4
A bank can be defined as a financial institution,
organization or a place that provides a financial service,
equally one can also defined bank as an establishment
authorized by a government to accept deposits, pay
interest, clear checks, make loans, act as an intermediary
in financial transactions, allows the purchase of bills and
checks or the purchase and sales of securities and
provide other financial services to its customers. The first
computers were people! That is, electronic computers
(and the earlier mechanical computers) were given this
name because they performed the work that had
previously been assigned to people. "Computer" was
originally a job title: It was used to describe those human
beings (predominantly women) whose job was to
perform the repetitive calculations required to compute
such things as navigational tables, tide charts and
planetary positions for astronomical almanacs. A long
time ago, people charged with duty of collection and
Disbursements of tax were encountering
Problems in calculations. In those days, the problems
faced by the early method of data processing involved
the use of animal skin, feather, grains etc. were very
difficult for them to handle.

Every individual, organisation need information
Banks and other financial institution are heavy users of
computers in maintaining customer's accounts, ledger,
updating, electronic fund transfer and processing of huge
amount of cheques, credit cards, and the major
transactions that takes place daily. The up coming
automatic teller machines (ATM) already installed by
most banks are the most visible symbols of computer in
the banking sector in Nigeria. They are of course
everywhere in Europe, America and Asia. The Automatic
Teller machine (ATM) enable bank customer to
withdraw, recharge phones, transfer funds from their
various accounts even when the bank is closed physically.
Each transaction made, the customer's record is updated
and he or she is provided with a print out or notification.
However the use of computer in the banking sector can
be an efficient tool in speeding up the process and
reducing the cost of producing and undertaking figure
works. More effective control procedure in computerized
system many credit cards, smart cards.

Banking in India
Modern banking in India originated in the last decade of
the 18th century. Among the first banks were the Bank of
Hindustan, which was established in 1770 and liquidated
in 1829 and the General Bank of India, established in
1786 but failed in 1791.
The largest and the oldest bank which is still in existence
is the State Bank of India (SBI). It originated and started
working as the Bank of Calcutta in mid-June 1806. In
1809, it was renamed as the Bank of Bengal. This was
one of the three banks founded by a presidency
government, the other two were the Bank of Bombay in
1840 and the Bank of Madras in 1843. The three banks
were merged in 1921 to form the Imperial Bank of India,
which upon India’s independence, became the State
Bank of India in 1955. For many years, the presidency
banks had acted as quasi-central banks, as did their
successors, until the Reserve Bank of India was
established in 1935, under the Reserve Bank of India Act,
1934.
In 1960, the State Banks of India was given control of
eight state-associated banks under the State Bank of
8
India (Subsidiary Banks) Act, 1959. These are now called
its associate banks. In 1969, the Government of India
nationalised 14 major private banks; one of the big banks
was Bank of India. In 1980, 6 more private banks were
nationalised. These nationalised banks are the majority
of lenders in the Indian economy. They dominate the
banking sector because of their large size and
widespread networks.
The Indian banking sector is broadly classified into
scheduled and non-scheduled banks. The scheduled
banks are those included under the 2nd Schedule of the
Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934. The scheduled banks are
further classified into: nationalised banks; State Bank of
India and its associates; Regional Rural Banks (RRBs);
foreign banks; and other Indian private sector banks. The
SBI has merged its Associate banks into itself to create
the largest Bank in India on 1 April 2017. With this
merger SBI has a global ranking of 236 on Fortune 500
index. The term commercial banks refer to both
scheduled and non-scheduled commercial banks
regulated under the Banking Regulation Act, 1949.
Generally, the supply, product range and reach of
banking in India is fairly mature-even though reach in
rural India and to the poor still remains a challenge. The
9
government has developed initiatives to address this
through the State Bank of India expanding its branch
network and through the National Bank for Agriculture
and Rural Development (NABARD).

Problems of Computer
&Technology in banking
1.Cyber Crime
More criminals are robbing banks using computers than
guns. The physical banks have become more secure with
alarms, security systems, and bulletproof glass, but
computer systems continue to remain vulnerable to
cyberattack. Criminals who can hack banking systems can
move millions of dollars with a keystroke.
12
Mobile banking solutions also have to be integrated into
backend banking systems. And mobile banking support
has to be scalable as 50 percent of banking customers go
mobile each year.
3. New Transaction Systems
In addition to mobile and online banking, new payment
systems are disrupting banking computing. Apple Pay,
Venmo, and other non-banking companies are creating
with new peer-to-peer payment systems that have to
integrate with banking systems. Payment systems like
PayPal are also gaining more consumer trust compared
to banks, and IT has to support new strategies to win
back customers and increase the banks share of wallet
with new technologies.
4. Regulatory Scrutiny
With new technologies come new government
regulations. Following the financial crisis of 2007,
government agencies are placing banks under
microscopic scrutiny. The FDIC, the Federal
Reserve, state regulatory agencies, and the new
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPD) are
just a few of the agencies monitoring bank
13
business practices.
14
experience. Changing customer demographics play a
major role in these heightened expectations: With each
new generation of banking customer comes a more
innate understanding of technology and, as a result, an
increased expectation of digitized experiences.
15
smart devices, which customers can use to access their
bank’s knowledge base. Should a customer require
additional assistance, they can use one of these devices
to schedule an appointment with one of the branch’s
financial advisors; during the appointment, the advisor
will answer any of the customer’s questions, as well as
set them up with a mobile AI assistant that can provide
them with additional recommendations based on their
behavior. It might sound too good to be true, but the
branch of the future already exists, and it’s helping banks
and credit unions meet and exceed rising customer
expectations.
6.Continuous Innovation
Sustainable success in business requires insight, agility,
rich client relationships, and continuous innovation.
Benchmarking effective practices throughout the
industry can provide valuable insight, helping banks and
credit unions stay competitive. However, benchmarking
alone only enables institutions to keep up with the pack
— it rarely leads to innovation. As the cliché goes,
businesses must benchmark to survive, but innovate to
thrive; innovation is a key differentiator that separates
the wheat from the chaff.
16
Innovation stems from insights, and insights are
discovered through customer interactions and
continuous organizational analysis. Insights without
action, however, are impotent — it’s vital that financial
institutions be prepared to pivot when necessary to
address market demands while improving upon the
customer experience.

Benefits of computer
&Technology in banking
1.AUTOMATED TELLER MACHINE(ATM)
TECHNOLOGY:
ATM technology is an information technology product
that replaces human tellers. It runs automatically
through ID like card and password, PIN (personal
Identification Number), which is uniquely provided by
the bank. If people insert their visa card in to the
machine, it verifies the password and makes it open
for the user to access the service delivered by the
machine. It allows all visa card holders to withdraw
cash and ask their balance. It allows 24-hours cash
withdrawal facilities using debit/ credit cards, fast
cash, fund transfer, Personal Identification Number
(PIN) change, mini-statement request etc.
18
2.INTERNET BANKING TECHNOLOGY:
It is the use of internet technology as a channel for
providing service directly for customers. Using internet
banking technology, customers who have access to
internet, can conduct transaction from wherever they
are. Account balance enquiry, fund transfer among the
accounts of same customer, opening or modify of term
deposit account, pay order request, bills payment,
account summary, account details, account activity,
standing instructions, loan repayment, loan
information, statement request, refill prepaid card,
password change, bank guarantee application, lost
card (debit/credit) reporting, pay credit card dues,
view credit card statement or check balance are some
of the services that can be provided by banks through
internet banking technology.
21
7.MOBILE BANKING TECHNOLOGY:
According to Andrew (2009) Mobile banking is defined as
‘the provision of banking and financial services with the
help of mobile telecommunication devices’.
About two billion people worldwide are using a mobile
phone. As the number of mobile phone increases there
has been a pervasive impact on people’s lives. Mobile
banking helps to cover wide geographical area. They can
reach remote area at low cost. In developing countries
where financial services are scarce, mobile banking
provides an inexpensive and secure way to transfer
funds. It also offers improved access to savings accounts.
8.Cybersecurity
Security is indispensable not only for banks but for all
industries. When customers open their account and join
a bank, they expect the financial institution to keep their
information and their capital safe from cyberattacks. But
maintaining quality cybersecurity processes is becoming
more and more difficult for banks. As a result, customers
in various areas across the world are dealing with
fraudulent activity regularly. To thwart such instances
22
affecting customers, banks need more preventative
procedures in place, including multi-layered security,
analytics insights, and adaptive security measures. So,
cybersecurity is most worth investing in for the banking
sector.

Modes of Online transaction
Mobile banking:-
Mobile banking is a service provided by a bank or other
financial institution that allows its customers to conduct
financial transactions remotely using a mobile device
such as a smartphone or tablet. Unlike the related
internet banking it uses software, usually called an app,
provided by the financial institution for the purpose.
Mobile banking is usually available on a 24-hour basis.
Some financial institutions have restrictions on which
accounts may be accessed through mobile banking, as
well as a limit on the amount that can be transacted.
Mobile banking is dependent on the availability of an
internet or data connection to the mobile device.
Transactions through mobile banking depend on the
features of the mobile banking app provided and
typically includes obtaining account balances and lists of
latest transactions, electronic bill payments, remote
check deposits, P2P payments, and funds transfers
between a customer’s or another’s accounts.[1] Some
24
apps also enable copies of statements to be downloaded
and sometimes printed at the customer’s premises.
Using a mobile banking app increases ease of use, speed,
flexibility and also improves security because it
integrates with the user built-in mobile device security.
From the bank’s point of view, mobile banking reduces
the cost of handling transactions by reducing the need
for customers to visit a bank branch for non-cash
withdrawal and deposit transactions. Mobile banking
does not handle transactions involving cash, and a
customer needs to visit an ATM or bank branch for cash
withdrawals or deposits. Many apps now have a remote
deposit option; using the device’s camera to digitally
transmit cheques to their financial institution.
Mobile banking differs from mobile payments, which
involves the use of a mobile device to pay for goods or
services either at the point of sale or remotely,[2]
analogously to the use of a debit or credit card to effect
an EFTPOS payment.
25

1. Mini-statements and checking of account history.
2.Alerts on account activity or passing of set
thresholds.

approval, and insurance coverage.
26
2.Check (cheque) book and card requests.
3.Exchange of data messages and email, including

4.ATM Location.
Online banking:-
Online banking, also known as internet banking, web
banking or home banking, is an electronic payment
system that enables customers of a bank or other
financial institution to conduct a range of financial
transactions through the financial institution’s website.
The online banking system will typically connect to or be
part of the core banking system operated by a bank to
provide customers access to banking services in place of
traditional branch banking. Online banking significantly
reduces the banks’ operating cost by reducing reliance
on a branch network, and offers greater convenience to
customers in time saving in coming to a branch and the
convenience of being able to perform banking
transactions even when branches are closed. Internet
banking provides personal and corporate banking
services offering features such as viewing account
27
balances, obtaining statements, checking recent
transactions, transferring money between accounts, and
making payments.
29
Disadvantages of
Internet/Online banking:-
30
Worse still, if there is nobody who can explain
them on how internet banking works and the
process flow of how to go about it. It will be very
difficult for inexperienced beginners to figure it out
for themselves.
Securing Password: Every internet banking
account requires the password to be entered in
order to access the services. Therefore, the
password plays a key role in maintaining integrity.
If the password is revealed to others, they may
utilise the information to devise some fraud. Also,
the chosen password must comply with the rules
stated by the banks. Individuals must change the
password frequently to avoid password theft which
can be a hassle to remember by the account
holder himself.
PhonePe:-
The PhonePe app is available in over 11 Indian
languages. Using PhonePe, users can send and
receive money, recharge mobile, DTH, data cards,
make utility payments, pay at shops, invest in tax
saving funds, liquid Funds, buy insurance and mutual
funds and gold. In addition PhonePe also allows
31
users to book rides, pay for tickets, and book flights
and hotels on through the Switch platform
PhonePe is accepted as a payment option at over
17.5 million offline and online merchant outlets
across 500 cities in India covering food, travel,
groceries, medicines, movie tickets etc The app
crossed 100 million user mark in June 2018 and also
crossed 5 billion transactions in December 2019 It
currently has over 280 million users. The company
launched the PhonePe in January 2020 The
PhonePe ATM allows neighbourhood to dispense
cash in real-time to customers.
PhonePe is licensed by the for issuance and
operation of a Semi Closed Prepaid Payment system
with Authorization Number: 75/2014 dated 22
August 2014.
Google pay:-
Google Pay (stylized as G Pay; formerly Android Pay)
is a digital wallet platform and online payment
system developed by Google to power in-app, online,
and in-person contactless purchases on mobile
devices, enabling users to make payments with
Android phones, tablets, or watches. Users in the
32
United States and India can also use an iOS device,
albeit with limited functionality. In addition to this,
the service also supports passes such as coupons,
boarding passes, student ID cards, event tickets,
movie tickets, public transportation tickets, store
cards, and loyalty cards.
Google Pay takes advantage of physical
authentications such as fingerprint ID where
available. On devices without fingerprint ID, Google
Pay is activated with a passcode. When the user
makes a payment to a merchant, Google Pay does
not send the credit or debit card number with the
payment. Instead, it generates a virtual account
number representing the user’s account
information. This service keeps customer payment
information private, sending a one-time security
code instead of the card or user details.
BHIM UPI:-
BHIM (Bharat Interface for Money) is
an Indian mobile payment App developed by
the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI),
based on the Unified Payments Interface (UPI).
33
Named after B. R. Ambedkar and launched on 30
December 2016, it is intended to facilitate e-
payments directly through banks and encourage
cashless transactions.The application supports all
Indian banks which use UPI, which is built over the
Immediate Payment Service (IMPS) infrastructure
and allows the user to instantly transfer money
between bank accounts of any two parties.It can be
used on all mobile devices.
34
Objectives:-
1] To study about the factors that affects the customer’s
perception towards e-banking.
2] To know about the satisfaction level of customers
towards e-banking services.
3] To find out the major problems faced by customers
while using e-banking services.
35
Finding:-
1] Advancement in technology have had a profound
effect on the delivery of financial services over the last
few decades- and the pace of change and level of impact
is continuously increasing.
36
Suggestions:-
1] Expand market beyond traditional geographic market.
2] Override traditional marketing system into digital
marketing system.
3] Make human life convenient as a person can pay his
payment s online.
4] Increasing the cardholder base will bring challenges to
the bank.
5] Designing new products and services- managing
default rates and loyalty program etc.
37
Conclusion:-
We can see the time is changing and we are now
accepting technology but there is still a lot of perceptual
blocking which hampers the growth of its normal
tendency of technology, that’s why the growth of
internet banking is very primitive in nature.
1] Banks should provide facilities as per RBI norms.
2] Banks should take proper steps to build their feedback
services.
3] Internet banking should be available at every branch
of every bank.
4] Cooperative banks should be cover under Core-
banking system.
