Introduction Whatever the mind of man can conceives and believe, the mind can achieve Man is a complex

mix of elements and ever new invention motivates him to achieve something new. There was a time when human race struggled for food lived in caves and then slowly, gradually and eventually with his strong desire, dedication and determination he moved on to invention of wheel, two wheelers, four wheelers, computer, laptop, economy, currency and unending list of elements.As the development continues with accelerated momentum he felt a strong need of something which could add him in enhancing what he had with something what was in possession of someone else and thus Money and Economy were born.But this was sheer beginning. Slowly men felt need of a institution which can safely keep the wages of man, can provide him money over some obligation (interest) when he was in dire need and thus it was conception of the institution called Banks.At the time of its conception the primary purpose of a bank was provide loan to trading companies; and the name bank derived from Italian word banco naming desk / branch used during renaissance by Florentine Bankers who used to make their transaction above desk covered by green table cloth.Change is a part of Life.It is apt to say that with the increasing facilities man craves more and it is this craving of his which introduces various changes in the modus operandi of 2 various activities. Thus with the passage of time, the function of bank penetrated to individual.Bank today cover various financial and commercial activities which includes : Issue of promissory notes. Processing of payment by way of telegraphic transfer. Issuing bank drafts and cheques Accepting money on term deposit. Lending money by way of overdraft, installments, loan or otherwise. Safe keeping of documents and other items in a safe deposit box. Currency exchange. Sales, distribution or brokerage with or without advice, of insurance, unit trusts and similar financial products.As service of bank expanded, bank started using various methods which can aid in managing all the functions of bank and thus banks introduced, various physical evidence like cheques, bank drafts and ATMs, Credit cards etc.An ATM [Automated Teller Machine] is a technological version of traditional bank teller who used to disperse cash and other facilities over bank counter. However bank teller was available only during bank working hours, the ATM are 24 X 7, at disposal of customers.

Thus ATM is computerized telecom device that provide a customer of a financial transaction in a public place without the need of human desk [bank teller].However ATM are invention of 20 th Century when in 27 th June 1967, Barclay Bankers installed first electronic ATM in Enfield town in North London.I India SBI was first Bank to introduce ATM Service in 1996. PNB, the second largest government owned commercial bank in India with about 4500 branches across 764 cities and serving over 37 million customers to introduce this service soon after SBI. Thus the ATM Service slowly become common to various bank in India too. Today almost all the bank issue a free of cost ATM to all the customers of all their branch that are internet worked through core banking system. Hence, it is an endeavor to draw a comparative study between the pre issuance and post issuance ATM Service of the major government owned banking Titans. SBI&PNB 4 OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT Objectives of the Project Whether the customer is satisfied with ATM facility? If yes to what extent, if no what are the shortcomings. What are the shortcomings, which need attention? To draw Comparison between the Satisfaction of Customers from ATM services of SBI and PNB IMPORTANCE OF IMPORTANCE OF THE STUDY Importance of the study It is aimed to study the Customer Preference towards ATM Services of Punjab National Bank and State Bank of India . The project is analyzed the demographic, psychographic and preference characteristics of the customers in using ATM. It includes the detailed study of customers focusing on the various parameters that lead to identifying and understanding the perception of the customer and behaviour regarding services 8 offered by SBI and PNB. SBI and PNB, both are public sector bank and enjoy the loyalty of customers due to their work quality and long era of services. So it becomes important to reveal a correct diagram and impact of the ATM services provided by it maintaining their dignity and position METHODOLOGY METHODOLOGY

In the case of the ATM, Don Wetzel invented the first successful and modern ATM in the USA, however he was not first inventor to create an ATM. In 1939, Luther George Simjian started patenting an earlier and not-so-successful version of an ATM. An automatic teller machine or ATM allows a bank customer to conduct their banking transactions from almost every other ATM machine in the world Don Wetzel Don Wetzel was the co-patentee and chief conceptualist of the automated teller machine, an idea he said he thought of while waiting in line at a Dallas bank. At the time (1968) Wetzel was the Vice President of Product Planning at Docutel, the company that developed automated baggage-handling equipment. It took five million dollars to develop the ATM. The concept of the modern ATM first began in 1968, a working prototype came about in 1969 and Docutel was issued a patent in 1973. The first working ATM was installed in a New York based Chemical BankThe first ATMs were off-line machines, meaning money was not automatically withdrawn from an account. A computer network to the ATM. not (at that time) connected the bank accounts. Therefore, banks were at first very exclusive about who they gave ATM privileges to. Giving them only to credit card holders (credit cards were used before ATM cards) with good banking records. Wetzel, Barnes and Chastain developed the first real ATM cards, cards with a magnetic strip and a 15 personal ID number to get cash. ATM cards had to be different from credit cards (then without magnetic strips) so account information could be included (http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/blatm.htm ) Luther George Simjian Starting in 1939, Simjian registered 20 patents related to the device and persuaded what is now Citicorp to give it a trial. After six months, the bank reported that there was little demand."It seems the only people using the machines were a small number of prostitutes and gamblers who didn't want to deal with tellers face to face," wrote Simjian. Later, of

course, the idea caught on, and today, modern versions of the automatic teller machine stand on nearly every street corner. Despite the notoriety that came with his ATM concept. (http://web.mit.edu/invent/iow/simjian.html) Cash Technologies, Inc. Introduces New Transaction Processing System to Revolutionize the Traditional ATM According to ATM developer and DocuTel employee Don Wetzel, "We never did see the ATM as just a cash dispenser. We thought it had to be a machine that did most of the functions of a teller including transferring money, taking payments and issuing cash advances. But, nearly 30 years later, the ATM is still not much more than a cash dispenser. In fact, out of the nearly 220,000 ATMs installed in the U.S., research shows nearly half provide only cash dispensing transactions. And, only five percent of the remaining ATMs do anything more than the original, basic 16 bank account functions -- even though consumers are demanding more twenty-four hour services from their local bank. Why? The answer is simple :The protocol used by ATMs, which was developed at their inception, does not support additional on-line services such as check cashing, bill payment, money order issuance and event ticketing. With U.S. ATM cardholders completing more than 8.3 billion transactions last year, financial networks and institutions have invested heavily in making sure that consumers can withdraw money from San Francisco to Singapore rather than allowing consumers to purchase new financial and other services at their local ATM.Cash Tech's EMMA transaction processing system will allow ATMs to quickly execute complex transactions over multiple networks.EMMA uses a message structure which provides an open architecture for new application development without requiring modifications to host software.For the first time, communication between four primary channels:(1) The ATM network(2) The credit card (POS) network, (3) The Automated Clearing House (ACH) network and (4) Cash will interface seamlessly. 17 With the new EMMA platform, ATMs are on their way to becoming electronic convenience kiosks, capable of event and airline ticketing, electronic bill payment, and connecting to an alternate host via the Internet."With ATMs becoming such a formidable delivery channel, banks are weighing whether to configure their ATMs to do more than just standard cash withdrawals.http://www8.techmall.com/techdocs/TS9906178.html REVIEW OF LITERATURE ATM INDUSTRY STATUS IN INDIA In India ATM is still a new technology. With the emergence of private sector Banks like ICICI Bank, IDBI Bank, HDFC Bank etc. the number of ATM centres has increased tremendously. There are presently all types of Banks offering ATM services. For example State Bank of India (a Public Sector Bank), ICICI Bank (a Private Bank), Citibank (A

Foreign Bank), Greater Bombay CO-OP Bank (a co-op Bank).The Banks are offering various services like Cash withdrawal, fund transfer, Balance enquiry etc.The Banks have tie-ups in between them for sharing of their services this may be bilateral or multilateral by way of consortium like SWADHAN AUTOMATIC TELLER MACHINES (ATMS) SHARED BY A CONSORTIUM OF BANKS Each bank provides its own computer to maintain its own accounts and process transactions against them. Cashier stations are owned by individual banks and communicate directly with their own banks computers. Human cashiers enter account and transaction data. Automatic teller machines communicate with a central computer that clears transactions with the appropriate banks. An automatic teller machine accepts a cash card, interacts with the user, communicates with the central system to carry out the transaction, dispenses cash, and prints receipts. The system requires appropriate recordkeeping and security provisions. The system must handle concurrent accesses to the same account correctly. The banks provide their own software for their own computers; you are to design the software for the ATMs and the network. The cost of the shared system is normally apportioned to the banks according to the number of customers with cash cards.In India very good example of such consortium is SWADHAN NETWORK. SWADHAN NETWORK is a net work of various public sector Banks, Private Banks and Co- operative Banks with nationwide coverage. SWADHAN SWADHAN, Indias FIRST Shared Payment Network Service is unsurpassed in offering countrywide access to the banking operations at more than 1000 ATMs in and around 64 cities . It has 55 member bank s in the network, which includes nationalized, private and foreign banks. SWADHAN provides convenient banking, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week through the Automated Teller Machines to the 21 participating banks customers across the country. With SWADHAN, the bank customers are never far away from an ATM. The member banks customer can withdraw money anytime from any of the ATM irrespective of the bank with which the customer has an account. It offers services beyond cash withdrawals, like utility bill payment, fund transfer and deposits. SWADHAN widens the scope of ATM usage in the country in a cost effective manner. A member bank of SWADHAN can increase its geographical presence without deploying ATMs in all the locations; instead it can share and use ATMs of other banks, thereby saving a substantial amount. Likewise, the customer of the bank is highly benefited by having a nation-wide access to the card, without holding multiple accounts in different banks. The average transaction per day in the SWADHAN network is

around 2500 . The largest and only Shared Payment Network System (SPNS) in India, SWADHAN is posting a very impressive growth rate since its inception. In 1997, at the start of the network, the number of ATMs in SWADHAN Network was only around 24, whereas today it is grown close to 1000 ATMs. Today, in the country, 25% of the ATMs are networked to SWADHAN. Everyday brings new ATMs and banks to the network. Being the leading light in Shared Payment Network System for debit cards in India, it has auspicious plans to provide connectivity to the international payment networks, such as master card and visa in a very formidable way. It is poised to enable the existing system for e-payments thereby helping the banks excel in an e-powered service. 22 ATM SERVICES OF PNB & SBI BANK IN INDIA As part of its 'Clicks and Bricks' strategy, both SBI and PNB Banks have developed multiple access channels comprising lean brick and mortar branches, ATMs, call centers and Internet banking.

EVOLUTION OF SBI The origin of the State Bank of India goes back to the first decade of the nineteenth century with the establishment of the Bank of Calcutta in Calcutta on 2 June 1806. Three years later the bank received its charter and was re-designed as the Bank of Bengal (2 January 1809). A unique institution, it was the

first joint-stock bank of British India sponsored by the Government of Bengal. The Bank of Bombay (15 April 1840) and the Bank of Madras (1 July 1843) followed the Bank of Bengal. These three banks remained at the apex of modern banking in India till their amalgamation as the Imperial Bank of India on 27 January 1921. Primarily Anglo-Indian creations, the three presidency banks came into existence either as a result of the compulsions of imperial finance or by the felt needs of local European commerce and were not imposed from outside in an arbitrary manner to modernise India's economy. Their evolution was, however, shaped by ideas culled from similar developments in Europe and England, and was influenced by changes occurring in the structure of both the local trading environment and those in the relations of the Indian economy to the economy of Europe and the global economic framework. Establishment The establishment of the Bank of Bengal marked the advent of limited liability, joint-stock banking in India. So was the associated innovation in banking, viz. the decision to allow the Bank of Bengal to issue notes, which would be accepted for payment of public revenues within a restricted geographical area. This right of note issue was very valuable not only for the Bank of Bengal but also its two siblings, the Banks of Bombay and Madras. It meant an accretion to the capital of the banks, a capital on which the proprietors did not have to pay any interest. The concept of deposit banking was also an innovation because the practice of accepting money for safekeeping (and in some cases, even investment on behalf of the clients) by the indigenous bankers had not spread as a general habit in most parts of India. But, for a long time, and especially upto the time that the three presidency banks had a right of note issue, bank notes and government balances made up the bulk of the investible resources of the banks.The three banks were governed by royal charters, which were revised from time to time. Each charter provided for a share capital, four-fifth of which were privately subscribed and the rest owned by the provincial government. The members of the board of directors, which managed the affairs of each bank, were mostly proprietary directors representing the large European managing agency houses in India. The rest were government nominees, invariably civil servants, one of whom was elected as the president of the board. 31 Business The business of the banks was initially confined to discounting of bills of exchange or other negotiable private securities, keeping cash accounts and receiving deposits and issuing and circulating cash notes. Loans were restricted to Rs.one lakh and the period of accommodation confined to three months only. The security for such loans was public securities, commonly called Company's Paper, bullion, treasure, plate, jewels, or goods 'not of a perishable nature' and no interest could be charged beyond a rate of twelve per cent. Loans against goods like opium, indigo, salt woollens, cotton, cotton piece goods, mule twist and silk goods were also granted but such finance by way of cash credits gained momentum only from the third decade of the nineteenth century. All commodities, including tea, sugar and jute, which began to be financed later, were either pledged or hypothecated to the bank. Demand promissory notes were signed by the borrower in favour of the guarantor, which was in turn endorsed to the bank. Lending against shares of the

banks or on the mortgage of houses, land or other real property was, however, forbidden.Indians were the principal borrowers against deposit of Company's paper, while the business of discounts on private as well as salary bills was almost the exclusive 32 monopoly of individuals Europeans and their partnership firms. But the main function of the three banks, as far as the government was concerned, was to help the latter raise loans from time to time and also provide a degree of stability to the prices of government securities. Major change in the conditions A major change in the conditions of operation of the Banks of Bengal, Bombay and Madras occurred after 1860. With the passing of the Paper Currency Act of 1861, the right of note issue of the presidency banks was abolished and the Government of India assumed from 1 March 1862 the sole power of issuing paper currency within British India. The task of management and circulation of the new currency notes was conferred on the presidency banks and the Government undertook to transfer the Treasury balances to the banks at places where the banks would open branches. None of the three banks had till then any branches (except the sole attempt and that too a short-lived one by the Bank of Bengal at Mirzapore in 1839) although the charters had given them such authority. But as soon as the three presidency bands were assured of the free use of government Treasury balances at places where they would open branches, they embarked on branch expansion at a rapid pace. By 1876, the branches, agencies and sub agencies of the three 33 presidency banks covered most of the major parts and many of the inland trade centres in India. While the Bank of Bengal had eighteen branches including its head office, seasonal branches and sub agencies, the Banks of Bombay and Madras had fifteen each

This project gave us the knowledge and information about ATM machines, banks offering ATM services and also about the people and their attitudes and perceptions towards ATMs.I have found, People want the ATM centers to be very close to their houses or place of work. People want that they should not be made to wait in queues in front of ATM centers. They want that the bank should go ahead and bring all its functions and activities on the ATM machine. The bank should provide services like balance transfer, balance inquiry etc. and that too at a cheap rate. The ATM machines sometimes take a lot of time to process a transaction and therefore the customers have to wait for a long time in front of the machine and which is irritating according to some respondents and if possible the

73 banks should improve the software they use and reduce the time required by the customers. PNB and SBI ATM centers do not provide additional services like cash deposit, cheques deposit, bill payments etc.at all its centers, which many people want but they dont get it and leads to their dissatisfaction and where ever it is available it is charged. I have also found in this survey that many of the respondents felt that they were feeling secured using the PNB and SBI ATM card services and this has led to increased satisfaction level of these respondents which is a good sign. I also conclude from this survey that the almost 70% people are satisfied with the number and location of the PNB and SBI ATM centers. But they still insisted that the number should be increased to give enhanced service and satisfaction to its customers. People were happy to say that the PNB and SBI ATM center provides the currency in the denomination they want and this was as good as dealing with the cashier of the bank where you can tell him which denomination you want. Another good finding from this survey was that the ATM centers of PNB and SBI bank rarely run out of cash even though it is one of the largest used ATM centers. About 49% of the respondents said that it never runs out of cash. 74 RECOMMENDATIONS RECOMMENDATIONS The findings and the conclusions reveal that there is a lot of changes which can be brought about to improve the perception and satisfaction of the customers towards PNB and SBI banks ATM centers.I recommend that, PNB and SBI bank should increase the number of ATM centers and at strategic positions. Software used by the bank should be updated and fast so that people are not made to wait in the queue. PNB and SBI bank can bring all its services on the ATM machines. Facilities like cash deposit should also start at the ATM centers. To increase the customer base and the customer satisfaction the ATM facility should be made as secured and safe as possible. PNB and SBI ATM is one of the safest but still there is scope for improvement.
