CUSTOMER SATISFACTION WITH E-BANKING IN UCO BANK

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION OF E- BANKING

Growth of Electronic banking in a country depends on many factors, such as success of internet access, new online banking features, household growth of internet usage, legal and regulatory framework. E-banking can offer speedier, quicker and dependable services to the customers for which they may be relatively satisfied than that of manual system of banking. E-banking system not only generates latest viable return, it can get its better dealings with customers. The rationale of this research is to recognize the impact of variables of e-banking on customer pleasure in Bangladesh. Ali and Akter argued that a transitional period in the banking sector of Bangladesh has been ing through since shifting from the traditional banking system to the online banking system. These comments indicate that gradually electronic banking is gaining its importance in Bangladesh. Customers liking is necessary for the banking sector to elevate profitability, business expansion and accomplishment. Now a day‟s banking sector is modernizing and expanding its hand in different financial events every day. At the same time the banking process is becoming faster and easier. In order to survive in the competitive field of the banking sector commercial banks are looking for better service opportunities to provide their customer. The paper has been undertaken mainly to find out whether e-banking can satisfy the customers or not. One of the most recent channels of distribution to be used in the financial services organizations is electronic banking; this method was established in the mid 1990s, thereafter steadily becoming more important. The term electronic banking refers to "the provision of information or services by a bank to its customers, via a computer or television. A more developed service is one that provides customers with the opportunity to gain access to their s and execute transactions or to buy product online via the internet. Page | 1


Compatible with the revolutionary components of the electronic marketplaces, Jordan has actively developed e-banking services since 2004. Moving towards an industrialization nation with knowledge economy as the backdrop, the personal computer and online approach of life is growing in Jordan. Public awareness of e-banking among s has been increased and thus people are ready to migrate to technology applications. With the population of approximately 6 million in Jordan, it is vital for bankers to understand the current usage trend of E- banking system some scholars have shown that many international internet s demonstrate similar behavior and preference across nations. Other researcher have studied the internet in the context of traditional cultures, and yet delimited by national borders, Some studies have examined the issues on the evolution of e-banking and investigated the success factors in various e-delivery channels in banking scenario .Some have investigated customer preferences of e-banking. This study examines the factors which contributes and enhances the adoption of ebanking in Jordan, and the impact of e-banking functionality on the satisfaction outcomes for Jordanian banks customers. Also, this research assesses whether the adoption of ebanking customers in Jordan is constrained by the technology, particularly on the basis of different demographic characteristics, such as different age groups, educational level, income level etc.

CHAPTER 2 DFINITION OF E-BANKING

The concept of electronic banking has been defined in many ways. Daniel defines electronic banking as the delivery of banks' information and services by banks to customers via different delivery platforms that can be used with different terminal devices such as a personal computer and a mobile phone with browser or desktop software, telephone or digital television. Pikkarainen at all define internet banking as an "internet portal, through which customers can use different kinds of banking services ranging from bill payment to making investments". With the exception of cash withdrawals, internet banking gives customers access to almost any type of banking transaction at the click of a mouse. Indeed the use of the internet as a new alternative channel for the distribution of financial services has become a competitive necessity instead of just a way to achieve competitive advantage with the advent of globalization and fiercer competition. Banks use online banking as it is one of the cheapest delivery channels for banking products. Such service also saves the time and money of the bank with an added benefit of minimizing the likelihood of committing errors by bank tellers. Robinson believes that the supply of internet banking services enables banks to establish and extend their relationship with the customers. There are other numerous advantages to banks offered by online banking such as mass customization to suit the likes of each , innovation of new products and services, more effective marketing and communication at lower costs, development of non-core products such as insurance and stock brokerage as an expansion strategy, improved market image, better and quicker response to market evolution. Wise and Ali argued that many banks want to invest in ATMs to reduce branch cost since customers prefer to use them instead of a branch to transact business.

The financial impact of ATMs is a marginal increase in fee income substantially offset by the cost of significant increases in the number of customer transactions. The value proposition however, is a significant increase in the intangible item "customer satisfaction". The increase translates into improved customer loyalty that in result in higher customer retention and growing organization value. Internet banking is a lower-cost delivery channel and a way to increase sales. Internet banking services has become one of the most important factors in the business economy today.

CHAPTER 5 ANALSIS AND INTERPRETATION

Now each parameter will be taken separately & discussed in detail. Capital adequacy:

Capital adequacy ratio is defined as

, Where Risk can either be weighted assets (a) or the respective national regulator's minimum total capital requirement. If using risk weighted assets,

More than or Equal to 8%

The percent threshold is set by the national banking regulator. Two types of capital are measured: tier one capital, which can absorb losses without a bank being required to cease trading, and tier two capital, which can absorb losses in the event of a winding-up and so provides a lesser degree of protection to depositors.

INTERPRETATION:

Capital adequacy ratio (CAR) is a ratio of a bank's capital to its risk. National regulators track a bank's CAR to ensure that it can absorb a reasonable amount of loss and are complying with their statutory Capital requirements. The formula for Capital Adequacy Ratio is, Risk Weighted Assets. Capital adequacy ratio is the ratio which determines the capacity of the bank in of meeting the time liabilities and other risks such as credit risk, operational risk, etc.

Page | 27


In the simplest formulation, a bank's capital is the "cushion" for potential losses, which protects the bank's depositors or other lenders. Here, incase of UCO Bank we can see That it‟s CAR showed a sudden dip in the year 2008 but after that it has shown a steady rise for the next 2 years which is a good sign for its depositors and investors.

DEBT - EQUITY RATIO

234.24

INTERPRETATION:

The debt-to-equity ratio (D/E) is a financial ratio indicating the relative proportion of shareholders' equity and debt used to finance a company's assets. Here, in case of UCO Bank we can see that the Debt-Equity ratio has increased over the years. This is because its equity capital showed no growth from the year 2006 to 2008 and it decreased by around Rs250 crore in 2009 and remained the same for the year 2010. But its debt capital has Page | 28


shown a steady increase over the past 5 years. From this we can infer that since UCO Bank is a public sector undertaking it depends much more on debt capital ruther than equity capital.

INTERPRETATION: “Advances to Asset” is also a good indicator of a firm‟s Capital Adequacy. A high ratio of Advances to Assets would mean that the chances of Non Performing Assets formation are also high, which is not a good scenario for a bank. This would mean the credibility of its assets would go down. In case of UCO Bank we can see that it is able to maintain a pretty steady ratio of its Advances to Assets which means the credibility of its assets is good.

INTERPRETATION: The ratio of Government Securities to Total investments shows how safe are the company‟s investments. Here, in case of UCO Bank we can see that its ratio of investments in Government Securities to Total Investments is very high and it has remained quite steady over the years with minimal fluctuations. The high ratio tells that UCO Banks investment policy is conservative and their investments are safe.

The bank kept a tight leash on its operating expenses, which helped it reduce its cost to income ratio from 43.57% in Q1FY11 to 38.85% in Q1FY12, one of the lowest ratios in banking industry. The bank's asset quality, however, deteriorated, with about Rs 860 crore of fresh slippages recorded during the quarter. The bank's gross non‐performing asset ratio rose by 38 basis points to 3.88% while the net bad loan ratio increased by 8 basis points to 2.23%.

The bank restructured loans of about Rs 3,800 crore and its restructured loan portfolio stood at Rs 6,379 crore. Management has guided that restructured pipeline is not very large and from the SEB, only 2 s are in pipeline for restricting in the coming quarter. Also, slippages from restructured portfolio have not been very high. Bank loan recoveries have been improved.

CHAPTER 6 INTERNET / E- BANKING

INTRODUCTION Internet banking system and method in which a personal computer is connected by a network services provider directly to a host computer system of a bank such that customer service request can be process Automatically without need for intervention by customer service representatives. The system is capable of distinguishing between those customer service requests which are capable of automated fulfillment and those requests which require handling by a customer service representative. The system is integrated with the host computer system of the bank so that the remote banking customer can access other automated services of the bank. The method of the invention includes the steps of inputting a customer banking request from among a menu of banking requests at a remote personnel computer; transmitting the banking requests to a host computer over a network; receiving the request at the host computer; identifying the type of customer banking request received; automatic logging of the service request, comparing the received request to a stored table of request types, each of the request types having an attribute to indicate whether the request type is capable of being fulfilled by a customer service representative or by an automated system; and, depending upon the attribute, directing the request either to a queue for handling by a customer service representative or to a queue for processing by an automated system.

Safety for concrete applications is assured by client‟s authentication, verification, of data and data protection by encryption. Client identification is done using s or codes. The client chooses some of these and the bank assigns others. It is recommended to choose a made up of various types of characters, Which can be a combination of numbers, lower case and capital letters, and special symbols Banks usually protect large volume transactions with additional security means, such as an encryption calculator, or a token, which generates nonrecurring random s, which a client types on confirming an order. The token itself is protected by certain security features. Work with it is only enabled after the client types a four-digit PIN code, whereby the can change the PIN at any time. AUTOMATED TELLER MACHINES (ATM) An Automated Teller Machine in a public plashes, connected to a data system and related equipment and activated by a bank customer to obtain cash withdrawal and other banking services. It called Automated Teller Machine cash machine: also called Money machine. An Automated Teller Machine (ATM) is an electronic computerized telecommunication that allows financial institution‟s customer to directly use a secure method of communication to access their bank , in order to make cash withdrawal and check their balance without need for a human bank teller. Many ATMs also allows people to deposit of cash or cheque, transfer money their bank , top up their mobile phones‟ pre-paid or even buy the posed stamp. On the most modern ATMs, the customer identifies him or herself by inserting the plastic card with the magnetic stripe or the plastic smart card with a chip contain his or her number the customer then verifies their identity to entering a code or , often referred to as a PIN (Personal Identification Number) of four or more digit. Upon successful entry of the PIN the customer may perform a transaction. If the number is entered incorrectly several times in a row (usually three attempts per card insertion), some ATMs will attempt retain the card as a security some ATMs will attempt retain the card as a security precaution to prevent an unauthorized from discovering the

SMART CARD A smart card usually contains an ended 8-bit microprocessor (its kind of computer chip). The microprocessor is under a pad on one side of the card. Think of the microprocessor as the usual magnetic strip present on a credit card or debit card. The microprocessor in the smart the card is there for security. The host computer and card reader actually „talk‟ to the microprocessor. The microprocessor Enforce access to the data on the card. The chip on this card is capable to many kinds of the transaction. For example, a person could make the purchase from their credit , debit or from store value that‟s reloadable. The enhanced memory and processing capacity of the smart card is many times that of traditional magnetic-strip card and can accommodate several different applications on a single. It can also hold the identification information, which means no more shuffling through cards in the wallet to find the ringtone the smart card will be the only one needed. Smart card can also be used with a smart card reader attachment to a personal computer to authenticate a . Smart cards are much more popular in Europe than the U.S. in Europe the health insurance and banking industries use smart card extensively. Every German citizen in their has a smart card for the heath insurance. Even though smart card has been around their modern form for at least a decade, they are just starting to taken off in the U.S. DEBIT CARD: Debit card are also known as check card. Debit card look like a credit card or ATM card, but operate like cash or a personal check. Debit card is different from credit cards. While a credit card is a way to “pay latter,” a debit card is a way to “pay now.” When you a debit card, your money is quickly deducted from you‟re checking or saving s. Debit cards are accepted many location, including grocery store, retail store, gas online station, and restaurant. You can use your card anywhere merchant display yours card‟s brand name or logo. They offer an alternative to carrying a check book or cash.

E-CHEQUE:  An e-cheque is the electronic versio9n of representation of paper  Cheque the information and legal Framework on the E-cheque is the same as that the paper cheque.  It can now be used in peace of paper cheque to do any and all remote transaction.  An e-cheque work the same way a cheque does, the cheque writer “Writes” the echeque using one of the cheque writer devices and gives the e-cheque to the payee electronically. The payee “deposits” the electronic cheque received the credit, and the payee‟s bank “clear” the e-cheque to the paying bank validates the e-cheque and then “charges” the check writer‟s for check.

OTHER FORMS OF ELECTRONIC BANKING:  Direct Deposit  Electronic Bill Payment  Electronic Check Conversion

TELEPHONE BANKING Telephone banking and the first banking services using classic telephone lines for communication date back to the turn of sixties and seventies of the last century. These services grew vary rapidly and at the close of the 20th century mobile phones also started to be used in banking with the development of information and communication technologies. In this period bank quickly responded to the dawning of a new era in using mobile telephone world- wide and began communication with their clients by SMS massages, with GSM banking later becoming a natural component of the electronic banking. Each financial institution offers in this under the different name, but the essential product remain same. A mobile phone can be used to communication with also call telephone banker or an Page | 36


autometed telephone system, just as well as a fixed line. However, opportunities for mobile phone. Mobile phone use represents a direct communication channel that spread on a massive scale through which clients have immediate access to typing a bank operation, ordering services or working with . Electronic banking using a telephone connection can be divided into phone banking (ATS, client advisor) and mobile banking (SMS banking, GSM sim, toolkit and WAP).

PHONE BANKING Phone banking is the provision of banking services using a classic telephone line. A bank client can obtain the necessary information on dialing a telephone number specified in advance. Before the requested banking services information is provided the client‟s identity is determined using contractually agreed . Using this banking service enable bank clients to obtain information concerning active ive banking product, but a client can also actively use the bank payment system and request, for example, a payment order or a collection order, open or cancel a term deposit or current . In this case a fax connected to the telephone services as an output communication channel. The client advisor or so-called telephone- banker is a bank employee capable of providing any information about product and services and following, verification that he is speaking with an authorized person, can also perform any ive or active operation. He can provide advice to the client and offered further banking products. One advantage of these services is that it requires no additional technical equipment apart from a telephone. As a rule bank telephone call centers operators work 24 hours a day nonstop and it is thus possible to use their service from any plashes at any time. SMS BANKING SMS banking uses short text messages sent through the client‟s mobile phone. SMS text messages can be used for both ive and active operations similarly as with classic telephone banking. A client can automatically receive information about his Page | 37


balance: an SMS is sent to the client immediately after a certain operation is performed, or on request: a client sends the bank a correctly formatted message which processes it and answers the client‟s request by SMS. Information sent on request mostly concerns current interest rates or currency exchange rates. Providing these is simple for the bank because this is publicly accessible information that needs no protection. A client however can request information about the balance in his , which is not public information and must be protected when it is provided. s are used for this purpose or technologies based on the principle of an electronic key. A client however is required to know the code of every transaction including constant and variable symbols. The whole message containing data separated by (#) symbols sometimes has up to fifty characters. s can easily make mistakes. This is frequently a limiting factor for clients, reducing the comfort factor in this service.

HOME BANKING

Home banking is a service that enables a bank client to handle his s from a computer from a plashes selected in advance, at home or in the office. The main features of home banking systems are the high level of security, comfort, implicitly of use, openness of the system, wide communication possibilities, networking, definition of s and their rights, automated data transmission and the option to define a combined signature specimen. A home banking system usually consists of two parts: a bank computer program and a program in the Client‟s computer. The bank program works as a communication server. It receives calls from clients, verifies their identity, receives data from them, authenticates digital signatures, generates digital receipts and sends data to clients. A home banking computer system is a multi application, meaning that several of the client‟s employees can work with it, in particular: a) – can define new employees, change rights, b) Sender – ensures communication with the bank and transmission of prepared data, c) ant – can type payment orders and orders for collection, d) Viewer – can browse through statements and announcements received. This system is open and can be expanded in the future without great cost.

MAIL BANKING Mail banking is another electronic banking service that makes it possible to communicate with the bank by electronic mail or e-mail. The most frequently used Service is sending statements at agreed periodicity to the client‟s mailbox. E-mail is not used for more complex operations.

CHAPTER 7 FACTORS OF ADOPTING E-BANKING Accessibility Accessibility defines as the ability of s to access information and services from the web is dependent on many factors. These include the content format the 's hardware, software and settings internet connections the environmental conditions and the 's abilities and disabilities. The term "web accessibility" generally relates to the implementation of website content in such a way as to maximize the ability of s with disabilities to access it. For example, providing a text equivalent for image content of a web page, allows s with some visual disabilities access to the information via a screen reader. The techniques and approaches that create more accessible web pages for people with disabilities also address many other access issues such as speed and discoverability. Revealed reliable/prompt responses, attentiveness, and ease of use had considerable impacts on both customers perceived overall service quality and satisfaction. It also indicated that there is a significant positive relationship between overall service quality and satisfaction. Yang and Jun redefined the traditional service quality dimensions in the context of online services, and suggested an instrument consisting of seven online service dimensions. Joseph et al considered banking service quality with respect to technology use, such as ATMs, telephone, and the internet and identified six dimensions. They were convenience/accuracy /complaint management efficiency, queue management accessibility and customization. Therefore, it is hypothesized that accessibility has positive effect on customer satisfaction.

Page | 41


Convenience E-banking provides higher degree of convenience that enables customers to access internet bank at all times and plashes. Apart from that, the ease of access of computers is perceived as a measure of relative advantage. Johnston revealed that there are some service quality determinants that are predominantly satisfiers and others that are predominantly dissatisfies with the main sources of satisfaction being attentiveness, responsiveness, care And friendliness. The main sources of dissatisfaction are integrity, reliability, responsiveness, availability and functionality. According to Ainscough and Luckett, the provision of customer interactivity is an important criterion that attracts s in the delivery of e-banking. Gerrard and Cunningham also identify other factors of paramount importance in ensuring the success of e-banking, i.e. the ability of an innovation to meet s' needs using different feature availability on the web site. For instance, the provision of interactive loan calculators, exchange rate converters, and mortgage calculators on the web sites draw the attention of both s and non-s into the bank's web site. A UK studies uncovered five key service quality attributes, such as security related issues, convenience, speed and timeliness of the service, and product variety/diverse features. Therefore, it is hypothesized that convenience has positive effect on customer satisfaction.

Privacy Customers have doubts about the trust ability of the e-bank's privacy policies. Trust has striking influence on 's willingness to engage in online exchanges of money and personal sensitive information. Privacy is an important dimension that may affect s' intention to adopt e-based transaction systems. Encryption technology is the most common feature at all bank sites to secure information privacy, supplemented by a combination of different unique identifiers, for instance, a , mother's maiden name, a memorable date, or a few minutes of inactivity automatically logs s off the . Besides, the Secure Socket Layer, a widely-used protocol use for online credit card payment, is designed to provide a private and reliable channel between two communicating

entities the use of Java Applet that runs within the 's browser the use of a Personal Identification Number, as well as an integrated digital signature and digital certificate associated with a smart card system. Thus, a combination of smart card and biometric recognition using fingerprints offers a more secure and easier access control for computers than the method. Zeithaml et al developed E-SERVQUAL for measuring eservice quality, identifying dimensions access ease of navigation, efficiency, flexibility, reliability, personalization, security/privacy, responsiveness. Assurance/trust site aesthetics And price knowledge. Hence, it is hypothesized that privacy has a positive effect on customer satisfaction.

Security

Assurance about security relates to the extent to which the web site guarantees the safety of customers` financial and personal information, an area which has witnessed a proliferation of research interest. Security can be assured

statement and information about the security of the shopping mechanisms and by displaying the logos of trusted third parties. For example, displaying trusted third party logo guarantees a certain level of security protection and has been shown to significantly influence how consumers regard the trustworthiness of e vendors. Internet banking was made possible by the creation of Web browsers.

Page | 43


In this mode of online banking, consumers do not have to purchase additional software, store any data on their computer, backup any data, or wait for software upgrades or new versions. All transactions occur on a secure server of a bank via the internet. The bank has all of the required data and software to execute the transactions. Customers go the bank's Web site, , and then take advantage of the bank's internet services. Typical bank services are access and review, transfers of funds between s, bill payment, and then a widening variety of new services and products. Security plays an important role in internet banking and so there are several protocols for internet security of encrypted data packets. Customers are not aware of the encryption, however, only certain versions of popular internet browsers are acceptable to some banks due to their security limitations. Therefore, it is hypothesized that privacy has a positive effect on customer satisfaction.

Design The goal of aesthetic design is to make a web site visually attractive and enjoyable. Proctor et al discussed content preparation in a broad sense and identified its four aspects:  Knowledge elicitation,  Information organization and structure,  Information retrieval, and  Information presentation. During design, and prior to implementation, it is strongly recommended that s of different ages, and with a range of capabilities and limitations be engaged to trial the new service and provide . Financial institutions should test accessibility of their customer websites with both automated tools and accessibility trials. Therefore, it is hypothesized that design has a positive effect on customer satisfaction.

Page | 44


Content Jayewardene and Foley and Pikkarainen et al claim that content on online banking on the web site is one of the factors influencing online-banking acceptance. On the other hand, quality designs, graphics or colors and the propensity to portray good image of the bank would enhance efficient use of navigation. In the context of internet banking, there is a growing body of research that has looked at influences on customer satisfaction. Jayewardene and Foley illustrated that such web site features as speed, web site content and design, navigation, interactivity and security all influence satisfaction whereas Broderick and Vachirapornpuk found that the level and nature of customer participation had the greatest impact on the quality of the service experience and issues such as customers' zone of tolerance, the degree of role understanding by customers and emotional response potentially determined, expected and perceived service quality.

Speed Hoffman and Novak find that there is a significant correlation between speed and Satisfaction. Speed of depends on the nature of the site ed content, the computing hardware and method of connection used to information. Most sites demonstration is small snapshots, and some s have to the program in order to view the demonstration. Most people perceive ing may import unwanted viruses, and consume hard disk space. Very often, slow response time after any e-interaction leads to a delay of service delivery and makes consumers unsure about whether or not the transaction is completed. Johnston illustrates that certain actions, such as increasing the speed of processing information and customers, are likely to have an important effect in of pleasing customers; however other activities, such as improving the reliability of equipment, will lessen dissatisfaction rather than delight customers and suggests that it is more important to ensure that the dissatisfies are dealt with before the satisfiers. Thus, it is hypothesized that speed has positive effect on customer satisfaction.

Customer Satisfaction and Outcomes of Satisfaction In this section the research spotlights on the relevant literature on the concept of satisfaction, its consequences.

Satisfaction Satisfaction has been considered as one of the most important theoretical as well as practical issues for most marketers and customer researchers. Oliver firstly defined it in the consumption context as “the summary psychological state resulting when the emotion surrounding disconfirmed expectations is coupled with the customer's prior feelings about the consumption experience”. In other words, we may say that satisfaction reflects a postpurchase evaluation of product quality given pre-purchase expectation. On one hand, within literature on services marketing, satisfaction has traditionally been defined as a cognitive-based phenomenon. Cognition has been studied mainly in of the expectations/disconfirmation paradigm; also known as the confirmation/disconfirmation paradigm, which states that expectations originate from the customer's beliefs about the level of performance that a product/service would provide. Many marketing scholars indicate that customer satisfaction is related to the size and direction of disconfirmation, which is defined as the difference between the post-purchase and post-usage evaluation of the performance of the product/service and the expectations held prior to the purchase. On the other hand, other studies have recognized that the affect experienced during the acquisition and consumption of the product or service can also have a significant influence on satisfaction judgments points out that a consumer affective response

Loyalty Oliver defines loyalty as “a deeply held commitment to re-buy or repatronize a preferred product/service consistently in the future, thereby causing repetitive same brand or same brand-set purchasing, despite situational influences and marketing efforts having the potential to cause switching behavior”. Broadly, loyalty development has been an objective traditionally aimed at by managers since it enables higher future purchase

Page | 46


intention. In particular, loyalty may be defined as a customer's intention or predisposition to purchase from the same organization

WOM (Word- Of- Mouth) Word-of-mouth (WOM) is an informal mode of communication between private parties concerning the evaluation of goods and services. Marketing literature has consistently shown its powerful role in influencing consumers‟ attitudes. For example, WOM is found to have more influence on product judgments than less vivid printed information. In general, WOM may be defined as an informal type of communication between private parties concerning the evaluation of goods and services and it has been considered to be one of the most powerful forces in the market plashes. To be precise, the importance of WOM resides in the fact that consumer choice is usually influenced by WOM, especially when the purchase in important. This is explained due to the fact that consumers prefer to rely on informal and personal communication sources in making purchase decisions instead of on formal and organizational sources such as advertising campaigns. The specific references only partially covered the e-banking and outcomes of satisfaction. Therefore, the present research attempts to fill a gap in the subject of ebanking in UCO BANK banks.

The study addressed some of the shortcomings in the literature such as looking at the e-banking functionality factors from the point of view of accessibility, convenience, security, privacy, content, design, speed, fees and charges, to investigating the influences of e-banking on outcomes of satisfaction in the UCO BANK. It was established that no previous research had been conducted at UCO BANK, which investigated the relationship between the e-banking and the outcomes of satisfaction namely loyalty and positive WOM in the UCO BANK.

Page | 47


The e-banking functionality factors has a positive significant influence on customer satisfaction Empirically, the model assumed that e-banking functionality factors positively influence customer satisfaction in the UCO BANK. In addition, it predicted that the influence of such factors on customer satisfaction would differ according to the personal variable that is gender, age, marital status, educational level, computer literacy, and internet accessibility. The results of the multiple regression analysis signal that there is variation in the effect of e-banking factors on customer satisfaction and empirical evidence in this research suggests that adoption of e- banking factors have a significant degree of influence on customer satisfaction. This empirical evidence has provided significant for the electronic banking literature, which substantively advocates that e-banking factors have an influence on customer satisfaction. The results empirically substantiate that using of e-banking services play a fundamental role in the customer satisfaction among UCO BANK. Accessibility has a positive significant influence on customer satisfaction provide significant for the accessibility literature which advocates that accessibility have an influence upon UCO BANK. As a consequence, we are able to substantiate that accessibility has a significant influence on customer satisfaction. These findings are also consistent with other research findings.

Convenience has a positive significant influence on customer satisfaction Convenience is also considered to be one of the influential factors on the satisfaction of UCO BANK. Prior research has empirically found positive relationship between convenience and satisfaction as critical factors on the use of e-banking. These results are not surprising as when UCO BANK consider the convenience as a competitive tool; this might impact positively on the adapting and generalize the using of e-banking in UCO BANK. As a result, we are able to confirm that convenience have a significant influence on customer satisfaction. These findings are also consistent with other research findings. For example, found that e-banking provides higher degree of convenience that enables customers to access internet bank at all times and plashes. Page | 48


Privacy has a positive significant influence on customer satisfaction That a pre-requisite for survival and growth is that both the banks and its customers have an interest in their t relationship – leading to a win-win effect. Factors such as confidential information is delivered safely from banks to customers; trust the bank‟s privacy protection to the s should help to build effective relationships and increase the customer satisfaction in the long run. Banks customers have doubts about the trust ability of the e-bank's privacy policies. Trust has striking influence on 's willingness to engage in online exchanges of money and personal sensitive information. Privacy is important dimension that may affect s' intention to adopt e-based transaction systems. Privacy consider as one of the most influential factor on customer satisfaction.

Security has a positive significant influence on customer satisfaction Suggests that security is an influential factor on customer satisfaction in UCO BANK. The results therefore, substantiate that security has a positive bearing on customer satisfaction. These findings are also consistent with other research findings. For example, found that e-banking provides higher degree of security that enables customers to trust internet banking at all times and plashes.

Design has a positive significant influence on customer satisfaction Design is also considered to be one of the influential factors on the satisfaction of UCO BANK customers. Prior research has empirically found positive relationship between banks web design and customer satisfaction as critical factors on the use of e-banking. These results indicate that the web design is an important element to facilitate the using of e-banking which is reflects on the customer satisfaction. Other researches have empirically found positive relationship between bank web site design and customer satisfaction as critical factors on the use of e-banking

Page | 49


Content has a positive significant influence on customer satisfaction It appears that content of bank site has a positive significant influence on the acceptance of adopting this service by UCO BANK customers. Factors such as information credibility Clear and simple help menus allow customers to perform e-banking transaction easily should help s to build effective relationships and increase the customer satisfaction in the long run. Content is important dimension that may affect s' intention to adopt e-banking systems. Other researches have empirically found positive relationship between bank web content and customer satisfaction as critical factors on the use of ebanking.

Speed has a positive significant influence on customer satisfaction Provide for speed having a statistically significant positive effect on customer satisfaction. This finding is similar to the work of Hoffman and Novak that identified speed as a major factor influencing customer satisfaction. Other researches have empirically found positive relationship between e-banking speed and customer satisfaction as critical factors on the use of this service.

Fees have a positive significant influence on customer satisfaction Fees are also considered to be one of the influential factors on the customer satisfaction of UCO BANK customers. Prior research has empirically found positive relationship between e-banking fees and customer satisfaction as critical factors on the use of e banking. These results indicate that the fees determine by UCO BANK are an important element to facilitate the using of E-banking which is reflects on the customer satisfaction. Other researches have empirically found positive relationship between fees rate and customer satisfaction as critical factors on the use of e- banking In summary, it can be seen that all e-banking functionality factors, which accessibility, convenience, security, privacy, content, design, speed, fees and charges, have proven to positively customer satisfaction. It appears that customer satisfaction has a positive significant influence on customer loyalty of adopting e-banking service by UCO BANK.

Page | 50


This result generalized on the other research outcomes. Loyalty and WOM were explained at a similar level in the proposed model. Generally speaking, we can conclude that satisfaction is a key mediating factor in the loyalty and positive WOM in the e-banking services in UCO BANK.

PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE The Bank will require the selected bidder to provide a Performance Bank Guarantee, within 15 days from the date of acceptance of the order or g of the contract whichever is earlier, for a value equivalent to 10% of the total cost of ownership (TCO), quoted by the selected bidder.

The Uco Bank are having branch in foreign country for the out siders persons they are also maintaining the Cash Flows, Balance Sheet, and the NPA by always lending and investing or creating quality assets which earn return by way of interest and profits. But the Uco Bank is not having that much branch compare to other bank like SBI, Canara Bank, Axis Bank, etc. Apart from that Uco Bank having the good relation and communication with the customer. Therefore the customers are go and open in Uco Bank. E-banking helps in improving the relationship between bankers and customers.
