Data interpretation and research findings(internet banking)


Only 32% Saving Account holders are using Internet Banking facility. Only 23% users came to know about i-Banking from bank staff. So, there exists a possibility to encourage customers more through bank staffs. awareness of different internet banking facilities is low. Age group 26 years to 35 years is the major part who uses mobile banking. Female i-Banking users contribute 24% of all i-Banking users. More than 50% of our sample prefers ATM as a mode of banking. Making transaction over internet is the most used facility in iBanking.

56% of Canara Banks customers are using mBanking. 66% of customers who were not using mobile banking previously, agreed to apply for Canara Banks m-Banking. Account balance information (a push service) is the most preferred Mobile banking service. Most of the mobile banking users dont use any pull services which are chargeable. we get the overall satisfaction level of Canara Banks Mobile Banking is 2.85.

Data interpretation and research findings(ATM cum debit card)


68% of the customers are already using Canara Banks ATM cum Debit Card. 33% of Canara Banks Debit Card holders use their cards 5 to 10 times a month. Almost 80% of the ATM cum Debit card holders use their cards in ATM mostly. Most of the ATM cum Debit Card users fall in the group of 26 to 35 years. 68% of ATM cum Debit card users dont use their card other than in ATM. 0nly 31% of users are satisfied and surprisingly 57% ATM cum Debit card holders are not satisfied.

Conclusion
Some of the banks are not able to calculate accurately the cost of their technological services. Most of the banks are operating in loss or at near break-even as far as debit card is concerned. As we all know that banking sector in India is very competitive in nature, the only option to a bank to attract customers is to differentiate their services. In Canara Bank it has been seen that the penetration of iBanking is still very low (about 32%). local market acceptance of e-commerce and the penetration level of internet among customers are two major barriers to these electronic modes of payment. It has also been seen that most of the internet banking users fall in the age group of 26 to 35 years.

Contd
Most of the i-Banking users are businessman. Most of the customers prefer ATM as a mode of banking. Compared to Canara Banks i-Banking, its mobile banking is more successful. The security aspect is one of the strongest barriers for the mass acceptance of mobile banking. In case of Canara Banks Debit card, major parts of the users use it only 5 to 10 times a month. The main causes of dissatisfaction of 57% debit card users are less number of ATM and Lack of ATM maintenance.

RECOMMENDATIONS
1. In order to cut the operation cost of a branch and attract customer in this highly competitive industry, Canara Bank must concentrate on the popularization of its technological services. 2. As mass advertisement is not a wise idea for this nonprofitable product, awareness of Canara Banks technoproduct among customers should be through bank staffs. 3. To attract more customers in i-Banking, Canara Bank must introduce some integrated services (Mobile recharge, Ticket booking etc.) 4. In case of Canara Banks mobile banking, special focus should be made on the security issues of SMS banking. Developing Mobile applications supported on JAVA enabled phone increases the security of mobile banking as well as it provides the facility of using more services. 5. Pull based mobile banking services are rarely used. It should concentrate on free-of-cost mobile services more. 6. Canara Bank should establish more ATM in the city.

LIMITATIONS OF THIS RESEARCH


1. Our study was limited to Dhanbad region only. 2. Our data is based on Canara Banks Saraidhela branch and for time constraints, it was not possible to collect data from more branches. 3. As the branch is in semi-urban area. So, the research findings cannot be generalized for all areas. 4. The usage of Canara Banks techno product is based on customers word-of-mouth. The accuracy of such data is always verifiable. People are less aware about the products and services.
