REASONS FOR THE CHANGE OVER FROM COR$ORATE !ANKING TO RETAIL !ANKING%
36
The financial sector reforms undertaken $y the Go/ernment since the year 6CC6 ha/e accelerated the process of disintermediation which has encoura#ed $lue chip corporate to access cheaper funds to meet their workin# capital re"uirements directly from in/estors in !ndia. The dere#ulation of markets and interest rates has lead to cut throat competition amon# )anks for corporate loans and offer other /alued ser/ices at comparati/ely cheaper rates to $i# and hi#h /alue corporate. !n the process1 most of the $anks ha/e e0perienced su$stantial reduction in interest spreads and drain on their profita$ility.
The risks in/ol/ed in corporate loans are /ery hi#h as corporate ha/e to keep all their e##s in one $asket. The risks in/ol/ed in retail )ankin# ad/ances are comparati/ely less and well di/ersified as loan amounts are relati/ely small ran#in# from Rs. 7BBB to Rs. 6BB lack and repaya$le normally in short period of E 7 years e0cept housin# loans 'where repayment period is lon# up to 67 years in some cases( and from fi0ed source of income like salaries.
@hereas corporate loans #i/e a/era#e return of just B.7 to 6.7 percent only1 the retail ad/ances offer attracti/e interest spread of Eto D percent1 $ecause retail $orrowers are less interest rate sensiti/e than the +orporate. -nother reason for lar#e interest spreads on retail ad/ances is that the retail customers are too fra#mented to $ar#ain effecti/ely.
@hile corporate loans are su$ject to ups and downs in trade fre"uently1 retail loans are comparati/ely independent of recession and continue to deli/er e/en durin# the slu##ish phase of economy.
Retail )ankin# #i/es a lot of sta$ility and pu$lic ima#e to $anks as compared to corporate $ankin#. The #reater amount of consumerism in the country with upswin# in income le/els of $ur#eonin# middle class1 which has propensity to consume to raise their standard of li/in#1 is enlar#in# the retail markets. Gi/en the easy li"uidity scenario in the country the #rowth rate in this sector is likely to #o up manifold in the years come.

ANAL0SIS C
@hen discussed with customers re#ardin# their preference for the /arious Pri/ate )anks the analysis from that was that !+!+! )ank and ,D8+ are the two leadin# pri/ate $anks of the city. This is mainly $ecause. These two $anks are the first pri/ate $anks which has opened their $ranches in the city. !+!+! and ,D8+ $rands name1 play an important part in their success in the city $ecause people usually #o throu#h the name the company. The difference lies within the few parameters that seem to differ with in the $ankin# structure of different $anks especially pu$lic sector $ank i.e. Punja$ national $ank and pri/ate sector $anks i.e. ,D8+1 !+!+!1 -9!& and :;T-: M-,!NRD- $ank. !f one closely o$ser/es there is not major difference $etween the ser/ices offered in these $anks what differs is their $ankin# culture and how they offer their ser/ices. The factors which distin#uish are )usiness process re en#ineerin# Proper and timely mana#ement of chan#es .ar#e num$er of transactions and chan#es !nternal commitment -/aila$ility of ade"uate finance &trate#ic ,uman Resources chan#es

P&< $anks which are a dominatin# force in the !ndian $ankin# system ha/e lacked a proacti/e ,R en/ironment. ,owe/er1 much has chan#ed with the openin# of other sectors and increased competition from newer $anks in the system. &o Punja$ national $ank has under#one a drastic chan#e with in time and has $een #i/in# a serious competition to ,D8+ $ank. There is a realiAation that skill de/elopment is e0tremely important for staff retention as well as the "uality of manpower1 and all $anks whether ,D8+ or any other $ank had in place a system of continuous professional learnin#. few $anks like :otak Mahindra are time and a#ain in the process of re/ampin# their trainin# processes and their emphasis is $ein# laid on hard as well as soft skills. )anks are keen to tie up with e0ternal trainin# a#encies for in house trainin#. Now if one look at the retail products offered at different $anks then the sa/in#s account facility offered at Punja$ national $ank finds more takers in the middle le/el earnin# #roup of people like for e0ample the total freedom sa/in#s account of PN) where there is no need to maintain an a/era#e "uarterly $alance and e/en the fees that is deducted for other accounts where the customers are not a$le to maintain a/era#e $alance is much less than ,D8+1 !+!+!1 -9!& and :;T-: M-,!NDR- $ank. :otak Mahindra $ank seems to tar#et customers of hi#her lea#ue as they don2t ha/e many $ranches in Delhi as compared to ,D8+1 !+!+!1 and -9!& $ank. They ha/e their own e0clusi/e class of customers and they market their products like that only. The current and sa/in#s account of :otak Mahindra $ank is marketed with terms likeJ the powerJ to ha/e an e0clusi/e $ankin# ser/ice. Now ,D8+ $ank has a /ery special way of treatin# its customers $y #i/in# them the con/enience of imperia customer pro#ramme1 classic customer pro#ramme and preferred customer pro#ramme. This helps the $anks in attractin# more and more customers for the retail products. This is referred as priority $ankin#. The plus current account of ,D8+ $ank is preferred more $y the customers the minimum $alance re"uired to $e paid is R&. 61 BB1BBB and the interest paid are nil. Punja$ national $ank actually has $een a$le to de/elop a more trustworthy relation with the customers since it2s a pu$lic $ank and does not char#e much for not maintainin# -?). ,D8+ $ank has $een a leader clearly amon# the pri/ate $anks and has its own stron# and loyal customer $ase !+!+! $ank has $een #i/in# a close competition to ,D8+ $ank as told $y the

customers. -fter the customers were contacted !a'( FD emer@e& out to )e t+e mo&t Breferre? option for the clients to in/est in the market after real estate. This is also dependant on /arious reasons which are #i/en as under% o *asy loans a/aila$le a#ainst the )ank 8i0ed Deposits. o +lients can withdraw their money at almost any time #i/in# them the option of maintainin# .i"uidity. o @ith all this )ank 8D also pro/ides a decent return concerned the minimum of the risk in any of the a/aila$le in/estment instruments. o @e ha/e seen a$o/e in the analysis of nationaliAed /s. pri/ate $anks that nationaliAed $anks are the more preferred ones1 this also adds wei#ht to clients preferrin# )ank 8Ds due to trust $uild durin# all these years. T+e' 'eEt Breferre? oBt,o' for t+e cl,e't& ,& .',t l,'( Bla'KI'&ura'ce . -nother thin# that was noted were that majority of clients preferred the short term fi0ed deposits as their fa/orite option. Most of the clients use the ideal money which they ha/e to meet the uncertainty or short term re"uirement. Now if we talk a$out insurances the preference of the people who had in/ested in the insurance sector1 it is /ery clear that .!+ is the leadin# company in this field1 $ecause of many factors such as% . .!+ is leadin# in this field mainly1 $ecause it is the first mo/er in the insurance sector and there$y had captured most of the market. .!+ had a /ery #ood network of a#ents1 who can $e seen as the $ack $one of the company. .!+ had pro/ided $etter ser/ice in the past which had made trust in the mind of the people and for that reason they feel more comforta$le.
77
,D8+ and !+!+! are the second in this field mainly $ecause they had opened their $ranches recently $ut ha/e made pro#ress in capturin# a si#nificant share of the market and in the future the ratio is decrease1 $ecause there are many opportunity to cash in $y $oth the company .
The features that distin#uish ,D8+ $ank from other $anks1 accordin# to the customers are% 6. The customers feel that ser/ices across different $ranches of the ,D8+ $ank differs since they ha/e different $ranches for /arious departments for e0ample Dwarka sector 33 which deals with /isa ser/ices $ecause of this the customer ha/e an ad/anta#e of con/enience $ankin# 3. +ustomers ha/in# lon# relationship with $ank rely a lot on the in/estment ser/ices and ad/ices offered $y the $ank since $ank throu#h one or the other way try to #i/e some $enefits to such customers1 the $ank named them as Iclassic customersJ. E. +ustomers call ,D8+ $ank as friendly and relia$le $ank $ecause of its +RM ser/ices D. ,D8+ $ank is also re#arded as a leader in deployin# technolo#y in its ser/ices which makes it different from other $anks. 7. ,D8+ $ank has $ecome relati/ely lar#e especially $y the /irtue of introducin# /arious schemes for the $enefits of the customer. 5. ,D8+ $ank has created a $rand e"uity that reflects trust and inte#rity. F. ,D8+ $ank has also tar#eted kids $y openin# accounts for them and $y introducin# kid2s ad/anta#e plan under mutual funds. Due to these efforts of ,D8+ $ank lots of kids ha/e $ecome loyal customers of ,D8+ already. G. ,D8+ $ank has positioned itself more than just $ank. !t is already percei/ed as Icomprehensi/e financial supermarketJ. -ccordin# to the customers they ha/e created a /irtual market place on the net.
78
C. ,D8+ $ank -TM ser/ices ha/e $een considered remarka$le $y the customers. The $ank tries to handles the complaints it recei/es re#ardin# -TMs and D*)!T card as efficiently and effecti/ely as possi$le. This is $ecause one will find ma0imum takers of ,D8+ $ank2s -TM cards. 6B. !n a nutshell what differentiates ,D8+ $ank is Ithe a$ility to add /alueJ1 the I#lo$al ima#eJ and the personality of the $ank i.e. $ein# dynamic1 inno/ati/e and /i$rant .

This #ap means that althou#h the ser/ice pro/iders may ha/e suita$le and sufficient ser/ice "uality specifications1 they may not ha/e the satisfactory ser/ice deli/ery in the real situation. That may $e $ecause ser/ice pro/iders lack well trained employees to deli/er satisfactory ser/ice. IV GaB refers to the difference $etween the ser/ice deli/ered and e0ternal communication a$out the ser/ice with customers. That is1 the ser/ice pro/iders may not ha/e suita$le and sufficient communication with the customers or the ser/ice pro/iders may ha/e commitments that e0ceed what they can do or they may not sufficiently inform the customers of what they ha/e done. V GaB is the difference $etween consumer e0pectation and their perception of ser/ice "uality measured $y the difference $etween what customers e0pect and what customers percei/e a$out the ser/ice. !n addition1 #ap 7 is a function of #ap 61 #ap 31 #ap E1 and #ap DN that is1 Gap 7X f '#ap61 #ap31 #apE1 #apD(. This means that the ser/ice "uality is closely related to mana#ement perception1 marketin#1 personnel mana#ement1 communications with customers1 ser/ice specifications and deli/ery.
81
82
GA$ I -s e0plained $efore1 this #ap means that the mana#ement is not a$le to correctly meet the customers2 e0pectations. ,D8+ $ank main ser/ice focus is deli/erin# e0cellent ser/ice for the customers. !nfact when in"uired from the customers of the $ranch most of them claim that ,D8+ $ank ser/ice is at par than other $anks. Many of the $ank customers ha/e $een with the $ank since a lon# time. The customers ha/e their loyalty towards the $ank and e/en ha/e trust with the $ankers in the $ank. -nother #ood point a$out the ser/ice is that mana#ement is always there for customer2s ser/ice in most of the $ranches of the $ank one would easily find the $ranch mana#ers a/aila$le. !n my /iew the mana#ement is a$le to correctly percei/e customers e0pectations. The customers of the ,D8+ $ank ha/e $een a$le to de/elop their e0pectation from the $ank on the $asis of mostly word of mouth communication from their relationship mana#ers in ,D8+ $ank or throu#h their own relati/es like for e0ample many of the customers of the $ranch came to in/est in the endowment plan1 one of the insurance scheme offered $y ,D8+ $ank1 $ecause they were #i/en references $y their senior citiAens in the family. Thou#h if one o$ser/es Punja$ National $ank then their customers de/elops their e0pectations more on the $asis of their needs and past e0perience. ,D8+ $ank is a$le to ha/e more or less a clearer perception of customer e0pectations. GA$ II9 +ustomer /alue is percei/ed as one of the principal dri/ers of customers satisfaction which in turn act as a key determinant of repurchase and ultimately of customer retention and loyalty. Thou#h ,D8+ $ank has clear perceptions a$out what customers e0pect from them what this #ap discusses is that whether ,D8+ $ank has suita$le specifications in the ser/ice $asically it talks a$out the ser/ice desi#n. Now in order to deli/er customer satisfaction ,D8+ $ank has personal $ankin# pro/isions for the customers1 there is a Irelationship mana#erJ assi#ned to the customers who look into the customers $ankin# needs also almost e/ery $ranch of ,D8+ $ank has a ItellerJ who #uides the customers. ,owe/er1 it cannot $e denied that there is no scope for impro/ements. @hen contacted the customers they seems to $e satisfied with the customer ser/ice they e0perience in the $ank.

GA$ III Most of the complaints that $ankin# industry recei/es is in reference with this #ap. There seems to $e a discrepancy within the sales staff. The sales staff of the $ank seems to make promises which they fail to deli/er later. &o what is re"uired is to $e a$le to ha/e a more trained sales staff which has a more clear understandin# a$out each and e/ery product area in which he/she deals so that they can deli/er a more satisfactory ser/ice to the customers. ,D8+ $ank seems to suffer from this #ap at certain le/el. GA$ IV ,D8+ standard life has a /ery stron# e0ternal communication $ut most of the retail products of the $ank lacks in this. Thou#h ,D8+ $ank2s fi0ed deposits seems to $e a pull product rest most of the products are push products. ,D8+ $ank with time has made considera$le efforts to market its products to the customers with ad/ertisin# like $i# /ans ha/in# .+D screens displayin# the products of the $ank. Recently ,D8+ $ank has $een tryin# to #et more and more customers for its loan products. !t is lookin# for a customer $ase in retail as well as in corporate. ,D8+ $ank has in/ol/ed itself into this type of marketin# $ut there are not much ad/ertisements one find a$out ,D8+ $ank retail products on tele/ision as compared to !+!+! $ank which carefully markets it sa/in#s account as well as the personal $ankin# e0perience for the customers. @ith customer and the $ank people interaction ! was a$le to identify certain key words which the customers look for while fulfillin# their $ankin# needs and what most of the $anks promises a$out. These are $asically the parameters $y which the customers as well as the $ank mana#ement measures ser/ice. These are as follows% Relia$le 'consistently do what $ank say( Responsi/e 'cheerfully do what $ank say( +ompetent '$ank mana#ement has knowled#e and e0pertise( -ccessi$le '$ank mana#ement is a/aila$le to talk to( +ourteous 'treat with respect( +ommunication 'listens carefully and e0plains carefully( +redi$le 'honest and trustworthy( &ecurity 'information of customers kept pri/ate and confidential(

it was o$ser/ed that the customers enter into in/estment deal $ecause of their relationship mana#er or personal $anker. Goo? BeoBle Now the teller and the $ankers which help customers in -TM and De$it card ser/ices ha/e $een re#arded as #ood people $ecause they are willin# to help the customers in any way possi$le. &ome of the $ranches of ,D8+ $ank like the one in +onnau#ht place ha/e a lar#er customer $ase for the -TM and De$it card ser/ices. The stars and #ood people are important for ,D8+ $ank $ecause they are the one $rin#in# customers1 $asically their main function is ac"uisition of new customers and retainin# them. Du?& C Duds are $asically referred to those employees who are not workin# properly or are not successful. The sales staff and the staff e0clusi/ely workin# for current and sa/in#s account does not ha/e correct knowled#e of information re"uired for openin# the accounts in the $ank and it results in dissatisfaction of customers. This happens $ecause of the difference of opinion $etween those in the $ank and those outside the $ank. There ha/e $een lots of complaints re#ardin# that sales staff promised somethin# and it did not happened. Ne@at,Ae emBloyee&9 Ne#ati/e employees are $asically those who work a#ainst the nature of $ankin# or who are not interested in attractin# customers. Duds are different from them $ecause thou#h they do not work properly $ut they ha/e all intentions to attract new customers and #i/e re/enue to $ank $ut they lack in the way they work and their knowled#e a$out their work. )ut ne#ati/e employees on the

This dia#ram was constructed in order to make an o$ser/ation a$out who are the employees that are most important for the $ank. &ince $ank is one of the important e0amples of ser/ice industry1 and these employees $ecomes the first encounter with the customers1 representin# $ank. This encounter helps customer in decidin# whether he/she wants to a in/estment relation with the $ank or not.

ser/ices amon# the major $ankin# se#ments re/ealed that the ,D8+ and !+!+! $anks ha/e topped the list in terms of deli/erin# "ualitati/e customer ser/ice. !t has also $een o$ser/ed that the pri/ate sector $anks compete successfully with forei#n $anks and make efforts to pro/ide $etter $ankin# ser/ices in tune with the chan#in# #lo$al competiti/e scenario. ,owe/er Punja$ national $ank has $een credit $y the customers as $ein# the most trustworthy $anks as it pro/ides /arious features for the lar#er se#ment of customers. Throu#h continuous interaction with the customers and the $ank people it has $een o$ser/ed that customers of $anks such as !+!+!1 -9!&1 ,D8+1 PN) and :;T-: M-,!NDR- were either in ser/ice or self employed. Many customers of PN) were found to $e retired from their respecti/e profession. Thus they recommended that $anks should en/isa#e a strate#y to ser/e customers with different occupations M educational $ack#rounds. )anks must also ad/ance their customer centric strate#ies $y pro/idin# satisfaction throu#h ser/ices leadin# to $etter relationship $uildin# and earnin# profits for the $anks. ,owe/er it also depends on the location of the $ranch like for e0ample a $ranch situated in the residential area will ha/e more customers for pensions like in Dwarka they were more customers for pensions and other senior citiAens ser/ices while in $ranches like +onnau#ht place or :.G. Mar# one will find customers for other needs as well. !t has $een o$ser/ed that poor ser/ice "uality in pu$lic sector $anks is mainly $ecause of deficiency in tan#i$ility1 lack of responsi/eness and empathy. Pri/ate sector $anks1 on the other hand1 were found to $e more reformed in this re#ards. -$o/e all1 the ,D8+ $ank is relati/ely close to the e0pectations of their customers with re#ard to /arious dimensions of ser/ice "uality. 8urther1 the study re/ealed that there e0isted ser/ice "uality /ariation across demo#raphic /aria$les1 and su##ested that mana#ement of $anks should pay attention to potential failure points and should $e responsi/e to customer pro$lems. Now in order to deli/er e0cellent ser/ice the necessity of employee contacts and e/aluation of ser/ice e0periences has $een /ery effecti/e. The pro$lem of relia$ility in /arious measures of ser/ice "uality1 and the perception responses has hi#h relia$ility as compared to e0pectation responses. &er/ice "uality in $ankin# implies consistently anticipatin# and satisfyin# the needs and e0pectations of customers. ,owe/er1 e/aluatin# ser/ice "uality sometimes is not an easy task due to the intan#i$le nature of ser/ices.
