I INTRODUCTION
The banking sector plays an active
role in the emerging economy of India. There
has been a perception of formal and rigid
approaches being followed in banking
institutions.[1]
Banking institutions could provide
leadership in this era of economic
transformation. This has been facilitated by
deployment of information technology in the
shift towards paperless banking or e-banking,
Electronic banking or e-banking
created a revolution in the banking services
sector.
e-banking refers to those types of
services using which customers of a bank
could avail and carry out most of the banking
services
through
computers,
ATMs
(Automated Teller Machines) or mobile
phones. Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) plays
an important role in the e-banking approach,
and is utilized by a large segment of bank
customers. Electronic funds transfer helps to
minimize usage of cheques and paper-based
transactions by deployment of information and
communication technology. EFTs are initiated
through devices like cards or codes that allow
us or those whom we authorize to access our
account. Most banking institutions use ATM
or debit cards and Personal Identification
[4]
Another perspective was the analysis
of the influence of network and other bankingrelated issues on e-banking.
[4]
A higher percentage of respondents
(nearly 60%) agreed that network may not be
always reliable. About 70% agreed that there
are occasions when the ATM will make
deductions from their account without any
withdrawal of cash, while only 40% agreed
that they have had an experience of
fraudulent acts with scammers during mobile
money transfer. On e-banking, only 4 5 % of
the respondents agreed that the Nigeria
banking system is stable enough for e-banking
and about 77% agreed that insecurity in the
financial institutions in Nigeria may jeopardize
e-banking in Nigeria. [4]
Study on E-Banking: Indian Scenario
A research was conducted in a leading
Nationalised bank in India with the aim of
finding the Acceptance and Satisfaction of
e-Banking Services among the banks
customers. The exploratory research was
conducted to find whether the customers of the
bank have accepted e-banking services, and
also whether they were satisfied or not.

of data were used for the research. The
secondary data was derived from the issues
and complaints of customers which included
the e-banking measures like, ATMs, Internet
banking, Mobile banking. Primary data was
derived through usage of structured
questionnaires.
