MEANING OF E-BANKING
1

Electronic banking is an umbrella term for the process by which a

customer may perform banking transactions electronically without
visiting a brick-and-mortar institution. The following terms all refer to
one form or another of electronic banking: personal computer (PC)
banking, Internet banking, virtual banking, online banking, home
banking, remote electronic banking, and phone banking. PC banking and
Internet or online banking is the most frequently used designations. It
should be noted, however, that the terms used to describe the various
types of electronic banking are often used interchangeably.

E-banking nowadays is the common trend here in our country. No more

falling in line in banks, no more waiting tons of hours in the bank, no more
days and weeks of waiting. All can be done with one card, one gadget. Its
easy, it works, and most importantly, people like it. But still, some people
are having a hard time using this kind of technology mostly people who are
used to do things the old traditional way. With the use of advertising, people
are now motivated to use E-banking because again, it eliminates the hassle
encountered when using the old process of banking.
The advancement of electronic banking or commonly known as e-banking,
began with the use of automatic teller machines (ATMs) and has included
telephone banking, Direct bill payment, electronic fund transfer, online
2

banking and other electronic transactions. For many people, they believe that
the e-banking will go to the direction of mobile banking. Also, some people
believe that online banking will be the most popular method in the future. In
order for users/customers to use their banks online services, they need to
introcomputers will be their assistant who will assist them in their
transactions and services. Examples of those transactions are paying bills,
attaining information about accounts and loans, and etc. In addition, those
transactions offered by different banks are continuously changing and are
being improved because of some banks wants to attain competitive
advantage with other banks.
The banking industry should always adapt to the new technology today and
basically make the necessary adjustments to gain competitive advantage
with other competing banks. Electronic banking is sometimes defined as the
provision of retail and small value banking products and services through
electronic channels either through mobile devices, Automated Teller
Machines, or even the internet. It is also often used to describe processes in
which customers can perform banking transactions without visiting a
physical institution e-banking made an auspicious debut when automated
teller machines (ATMs) were introduced it revolutionizing how we viewed
the usual, brick-and-mortar bank structure. Today, ATMs have become a
common customer delivery channel that is mainly in urban centers and
sometimes even in the countryside. Aside from ATMs, other innovations
have taken place such as phone and internet banking which again provide
customers the ability to access banking services from various locations and
at a 24-hour by 7- days basis. With these developments, customers are able
to enjoy the many conveniences and lower costs that are offered by the said
3

innovations. However, it can be seen that the poor and low-income segment
is still underserved or do not fully enjoy the benefits of such innovations.
For example, ATMs have a nationwide presence but there is a concentration
in urban areas, which are not easily accessible to those residing in the
countryside. In addition, ATMs would require that you have a bank issued
ATM card. The banks that typically issue ATM cards are the larger banks
with which poor and low income individuals do not transact. The smaller
banks like rural banks do not yet have the vast ATM networks as the bigger
banks. Another example is internet banking services, which has significantly
increased convenience for clients, as they are able to perform certain
transactions without leaving their home or workplace. However, this service
is available only to those who have internet connection or are, at the very
least, computer literate. In the same manner as ATM services, the poor and
low-income clients will not be able to fully enjoy the benefits of this service.

ADVANTAGES OF ONLINE BANKING

4

 Very convenient. Online banking is a totally easy thing to do. In the

comfort of your home or offices, you can do whatever monetary
transactions you wish to do with your bank.
Unlimited service day and night. The services and various features
of your bank are always available seven days a week and 24 hours
daily. The most interesting thing here is that, everything can happen at
just one click of your mouse.
No time constraint. Online banking is also stress free because it
never closes unlike the traditional banking that has cut-off time.
Easy to access via PC. Using your personal computer, you can easily
do various transactions with your bank in view of your business or
any other personal or financial matters.
Smart. Online banking is also ubiquitous or simply put smart. This
enables you to do troubleshooting regarding any problem that may
arise from your business.
Higher interest rate. Another great advantage of online banking is
the interest rates which basically range between 5% to 3.40%
annually. Unlike the traditional banking, online banking can earn you
a better interest or return of investment both in your savings and
checking account.
Easy transaction. Another advantage is the speed of every
transaction. Online transactions, compared to ATM or traditional
banking, works faster. Thus business matters could benefit so much
from this speed feature.
DISADVANTAGES OF ONLINE BANKING:-

 First is the slow processing from the moment you entered a financial
transaction with your bank via the computer. Usually the bank will
require you to submit certain documents like an identification card,
signature and the like. Not only will the bank online require you to
submit documents but also to provide special power of attorney in
cases where you want to do transactions together with your spouse. A
concrete example is when you want to manage all your wealth and
resources together as a couple and you wish to view it online. Certain
technical procedures regarding online banking may be taxing too and
complicated.
Another disadvantage is the so-called learning curve. This means,
banking online especially in locating the sites may be complicated and
hard to find.
Another disadvantage is bank site changes. If this occurs, the bank
will require you to re-enter all your information again and other
related data.
Finally is the trust aspect. Online banking should be entered very carefully
if you wish to enjoy your financial life

BENEFITS OF E-BANKING
For Banks:
6

 Price:
In the long run a bank can save on money by not paying for tellers or
for managing branches. Plus, it's cheaper to make transactions over
the Internet.
Customer Base:
The Internet allows banks to reach a whole new market- and a well off
one too, because there are no geographic boundaries with the Internet.
The Internet also provides a level playing field for small banks who
want to add to their customer base.
Efficiency:
Banks can become more efficient than they already are by providing
Internet access for their customers. The Internet provides the bank
with an almost paper less system.
Customer Service and Satisfaction:
Banking on the Internet not only allows the customer to have a full
range of services available to them but it also allows them some
services not offered at any of the branches. The person does not have
to go to a branch where that service may or may not be offer. A person
can print of information, forms, and applications via the Internet and
be able to search for information efficiently instead of waiting in line
and asking a teller. With more better and faster options a bank will
surely be able to create better customer relations and satisfaction.
Image:
A bank seems more state of the art to a customer if they offer Internet
access. A person may not want to use Internet banking but having the
service available gives a person the feeling that their bank is on the
cutting image
For Customers:
7

 Bill Pay:
Bill Pay is a service offered through Internet banking that allows the
customer to set up bill payments to just about anyone. Customer can
select the person or company whom he wants to make a payment and
Bill Pay will withdraw the money from his account and send the
payee a paper check or an electronic payment
Other Important Facilities:
E- Banking gives customer the control over nearly every aspect of
managing his bank accounts. Besides the Customers can, Buy and Sell
Securities, Check Stock Market Information, Check Currency Rates,
Check Balances, See which checks are cleared, Transfer Money, View
Transaction History and avoid going to an actual bank. The best
benefit is that Internet banking is free. At many banks the customer
doesn't have to maintain a required minimum balance. The second big
benefit is better interest rates for the customer.

HISTORY OF E BANKING
The term online became popular in the late '80s and referred to the use of a
terminal, keyboard and TV (or monitor) to access the banking system using
a phone line. Home banking can also refer to the use of a numeric keypad
to send tones down a phone line with instructions to the bank. Online
13

services started in New York in 1981 when four of the citys major banks
offered home banking services using the videotext system. Because of the
commercial failure of videotext these banking services never became
popular except in France where the use of videotext (Minitel) was subsidized
by the telecom provider and the UK, where the Pestle system was used.
The UK's first home online banking services known as Home link was set up
by Bank of Scotland for customers of the Nottingham Building Society
(NBS) in 1983. The system used was based on the UK's Pestle view link
system and used a computer, such as the BBC Micro, or keyboard (Tan data
Td1400) connected to the telephone system and television set. The system
allowed on-line viewing of statements, bank transfers and bill payments. In
order to make bank transfers and bill payments, a written instruction giving
details of the intended recipient had to be sent to the NBS who set the details
up on the Home link system. Typical recipients were gas, electricity and
telephone companies and accounts with other banks. Details of payments to
be made were input into the NBS system by the account holder via Pestle. A
cheque was then sent by NBS to the payee and an advice giving details of
the payment was sent to the account holder. BACS was later used to transfer
the payment directly.
Stanford Federal Credit Union was the first financial institution to offer
online internet banking services to all of its members in October 1994.
Today, many banks are internet only banks. Unlike their predecessors, these
internet only banks do not maintain brick and mortar bank branches. Instead,
they typically differentiate themselves by offering better interest rates and
more extensive online banking features.
14

E-BANKING IN INDIA.
The Reserve Bank of India constituted a working group on Internet Banking.
The group divided the internet banking products in India into 3 types based
on the levels of access granted. They are:
15

 Information Only System:

General purpose information like interest rates, branch location, bank
products and their features, loan and deposit calculations are provided
in the banks website. There exist facilities for downloading various
types of application forms. The communication is normally done
through e-mail. There is no interaction between the customer and
bank's application system. No identification of the customer is done.
Electronic Information Transfer System:
The system provides customer-specific information in the form of
account balances, transaction details, and statement of accounts. The
information is still largely of the 'read only' format. Identification and
authentication of the customer is through password. The information
is fetched from the bank's application system either in batch mode or
off-line. The application systems cannot directly access through the
internet.
Fully Electronic Transactional System:
This system allows bi-directional capabilities. Transactions can be
submitted by the customer for online update. This system requires
high degree of security and control. In this environment, web server
and application systems are linked over secure infrastructure.

RBI norms on credit cards.

The RBI has issued strict norms on credit card which should be followed by
all credit card issues w.e.f. November, 2005. The norms relate the following:
In case any unsolicited card is issued and activated without the
consent of the recipient and the latter is billed for the same, the issuing
bank/ NBFC should pay a penalty amounting to twice the value of
charges besides reversing the charge forthwith.
The credit card holder may be allowed to surrender their card on
account of any change in credit card charge to their disadvantage.
The norms also stipulate that credit card issuers should not issue
wrong bills to customer. In case a customer protests any bill, the bank
should provide explanation and if necessary, documentary evidence to
the customer concerned within a maximum period of 60 days with a
spirit of amicably redressing the grievances.
The bank should not levy and charge that was not explicit indicated to
the credit card holder at the time of issue of the card without getting
his consent.
The late payment charge, including the method of calculation of such
charge and the number of days should be prominently indicated.
There should be no delay in dispatching bills to customers.

35

7. DEBIT CARD
Debit card may also allow for instant withdrawal of cash, acting as the
ATM card for withdrawing cash and as a cheque guarantee card. A debit card
also known as a bank card or check card is a plastic card that provide an
alternative payment method to cash when making purchases.
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
36

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.
Advantages of Debit Card.
A customer who is not credit worthy and may find difficult or
impossible to obtain a credit card can more easily obtain a debit card,
allowing him/ her to make plastic transactions
Like credit card, debit cards are accepted by merchants with less
identification and scrutiny than personal checks, thereby making
transaction quicker and less intrusive. Unlike personal checks,
merchants generally do not believe that a payment via a debit card
may be later dishonored.
For most transactions, a checks card can be used to avoid checks
writing altogether. Check cards debit funds from the users account on
the spot. Thereby finalizing the transaction at the time of purchase,
and bypassing the requirement to pay a credit card bill at a later date.
Unlike a credit card, which charge higher fees and interest rates when
a cash advance is obtained, a debit card may be used to obtain cash
from an ATM or a PIN- based transaction at no extra charge, other
than a foreign ATM fee.
Disadvantages of the debit card.
Use of a debit card is not usually limited to the existing funds in the
accounts to which it is linked.

37

 Many banks are now charging over-limit fees or non-sufficient funds

fees based upon pre-authorization, and even attempted but refused
transactions by the merchant.
Many merchants mistakenly believe that amounts owed can be taken
from a customers account after a debit card number has been
presented, without agreement as to date, payee name, amount and
currency, thus causing penalty fees for overdrafts, over-the-limit,
amounts not available causing further rejections or overdrafts, and
rejected transactions by some banks.
A thief who obtains or clones a debit card along with its PIN may be
able to clean out the consumers bank account, and the customer will
have no recourse credit transaction is equally easy as theft using a
signature-based debit transaction.

the SMS are sent through other service providers whose systems are not
under control of the Bank though we have bound them through service
agreements.
Mobile Banking Safety Measures
Always keep Application password, MPIN, TPIN and User ID
confidential to yourself. Do not save these in mobile phone or write

MMS attachments. They may contain some harmful software, which
will affect the mobile phone.
Do not allow any unknown person to have access to your

If the mobile phone or SIM is lost, then immediately take action to deregister from mobile banking from home branch i.e. from where
Mobile Banking facility has been availed.
You should de-register for Mobile Banking application if you do not
want not to avail the facility any more.

10. INTERNET BANKING

Introduction:
Internet banking does offer many benefits
for both banks and their customers. So the
banks are doing what they can to
encourage customer to try it. Online
banking allows customer to conduct
financial transactions on a secure website
operated by their retail or virtual bank,
credit union or building society. It is a media that is very helpful for financial
transactions. Starting from the transfer money, pay various bills (electricity,
telephone) up to just us are checking our bank balance in to bank. EBanking refers to electronic banking. It is like e-business in banking
industry.
E-banking involves information technology based banking. Under this I.T.
system the banking services are delivered by way of a computer-controlled
system. This system does involve direct interface with the customers.
Internet Banking offered by Allahabad bank.
Internet Banking Service refers to one of the services offered by Allahabad
Bank to its customers on internet through which customer can enquire about
balance in the Account, details about transactions in the Account(s),
download statement of Account, transfer of funds and other service as
Allahabad Bank may decide to provide from time to time through internet.
The availability / non-availability of a particular service shall be
44

communicated to the user through email, web page of Allahabad Bank or in

writing as may be deemed fit by Allahabad Bank. Such Internet Banking
may be provided by Allahabad Bank directly or through its associates or its
service providers.
For the purpose of availing Internet Banking, the Applicant would need to
have legal and valid access to the Internet and Allahabad Bank's Internet
Banking Service. The Applicant shall have the option of choosing the
facilities out of various facilities provided by Allahabad Bank on Internet
Banking. The Internet Banking Service is restricted to banks account
holders only. The information provided to the applicant/user on Internet
Banking is usually updated at regular intervals on Banks website however
there can be some delay in its updating, Consequently, any information
supplied to the applicant / user through Internet Banking will pertain to the
date and time when it was last updated and not as the date and time when it
is supplied to the applicant / user. Allahabad Bank shall not be liable for any
loss that the applicant / user may suffer for delay in its updating or by
relying on or acting on such information. Allahabad Bank may keep the
records of the transactions in any form it wishes. In the event of any dispute,
Allahabad Bank's records shall be binding as the conclusive evidence of the
transactions carried out through Internet Banking. Any request for any
service, which is offered as a part of Internet Banking, shall be binding on
the applicant / user as and when Allahabad Bank receives such a request /
provides services. If any request for a service is such that it cannot be given
effect to unless it is followed up by requisite documentation on part of the
User, Allahabad Bank shall not be required to act on the request until it
receives such documentation from the applicant / user. In case of any request
45

for a service relating to any foreign currency transaction made by the

applicant / user, the exchange rates quoted by Allahabad Bank shall only be
provisional and shall be subject to future variations in the exchange rate. The
rate at which the transaction is given effect to would be the effective rate for
all intents and purposes. The Applicant / user shall ensure that Internet
Banking or any related service is not used by them for any purpose which is
illegal, improper or which is not authorized under these Terms. The Bank,
may from time to time advise required browser settings that are required for
using Internet Banking Services by the user. There will be no obligation on
the part of the Bank to support all the versions of the Internet browsers
available in the market.
Internet banking safety measures
Every Internet Banking user has been provided with User ID, Login
Password and Transaction Password. These three items enable a user
to login to Internet Banking and commit transactions like fund
transfer. So, these should be very confidential to the customer/user
and should never be disclosed to anybody even a person claiming
from Allahabad Bank.
It is customer/user responsibility not to disclose User ID, Login
Password and Transaction Password. So, it is always better to keep
password complex, a mix of alphanumeric & special character, so that
it is difficult to guess by others.
Always maintain different login and transaction passwords so that
compromise of password becomes difficult.
Change your Internet Banking passwords (Login as well as
Transaction) regularly so that there is less chances of guessing of the
same by others.
46

 Never click a hyperlink in your email or any link on any website

which directs you to login to Allahabad Banks Internet Banking
website. Most of these links are fictitious which leads to fake website
and aims to get User ID and Password of the customer so that
unauthorized access is made to Internet Banking for siphoning-off
money.
Always type the address of the website in the address bar of the
browser or access it from stored list of favorites.
Do not access any website such as bank website through a link in an
email or through another website.
Always ensure before entering user ID and password that you have
accessed https://www.allbankonline.in for Internet Banking service.
The website can also be accessed through Internet Banking link in
Allahabad

Banks

websites

www.allahbadbank.com

and

www.allahabadbank.in. Beware from phishing websites wherein

pages looks same as in the banks original website but website
addresses are different.
Avoid accessing your Internet Banking account from a cyber cafe or a
public computer as there is risk that some hidden applications
(Spyware like Key loggers) installed on such computer may be
capturing your user ID and passwords. Preferably use virtual keypad
for entering password.
Every time you login to Internet Banking, check the date and time of
last login to ensure that it is you who logged-in that time. In case of
any doubt of somebody else having access your account, first change
the login & transaction

47

11.TELEPHONE BANKING
Meaning

48

Telephone banking is a provided by a financial institution, which allows its

customer to perform transaction over the telephone.
Most telephone banking services use an automated phone answering system
with phone keypad response or voice recognition capability. To guarantee
security, the customer must first authenticate through a numeric or verbal
password or through security question asked by live representative. With the
obvious exception of cash withdrawals and deposits, it offers virtually all the
feature of an automated teller machine: account balance information and list
of latest transactions, electronic bill payment, fund transfer between
customers accounts etc
Usually customers can also speak to a live representative located in a call
centre or a branch, although this features is not always guaranteed to be
offered 24/7. In addition to the self-service transaction listed earlier,
telephone banking representatives are usually trained to do what was
traditionally available only at the branch: loan applications, investment
purchases and redemptions, cheque book orders, debit card replacement,
change of address etc.
Banks which operate mostly or exclusively by telephone are known as
phone banks. They also help modernize the user by using special technology.
The bid advantages of telephone banking are- as we have already
mentioned- the ability to speak to another human being and discuss with
them any issue that may not be mentioned or catered for on the website. In
addition to that speaking to a call centre staff member allows for the
provision of information such as any payments that are waiting to go into

49

customers account or go out. This information is not provided on

customers websites.
Phone Banking (PB)
Service refers to services offered by Allahabad Bank to its customers who
include facilities such as enquiry about balance in the Account, details about
transactions in the Account(s), request for statement of Account, enquiry of
cheque and any other service as Allahabad Bank may decide to provide from
time to time through telecommunication channel. The availability / nonavailability of a particular service shall be communicated to the user through
email, web page of Allahabad Bank or in writing as may be deemed fit by
Allahabad Bank. This facility may be provided by Allahabad Bank directly
or through its associates or its service providers.
Undertaking a host of banking related services including financial
transactions from the convenience of customers chosen place anywhere
across the GLOBE and any time of date and night has now been made
possible by introducing on-line Telebanking services. By dialing the given
Telebanking number through a landline or a mobile from anywhere, the
