CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
INTERNENT BANKING
The online banking system will typically connect to or be part of the core banking system
operated by a bank to provide customers access to banking services in addition to or in
place of historic branch banking. Online banking significantly reduces the banks'
operating cost by reducing reliance on a branch network and offers convenience to some
customers by lessening the need to visit a branch bank as well as being able to perform
banking transactions even when branches are closed.
Internet banking provides personal and corporate banking services offering features such
as making electronic payments, viewing account balances, obtaining statements, checking
recent transactions and transferring money between accounts.
Some banks operate as a "direct bank" or "neobank" that operate entirely via the internet
or internet and telephone without having any physical branches relying completely on
their online banking facilities.
To access a bank and online banking facility, a customer with internet access will need to
register with the bank for the service, and set up a password and other credentials for
customer verification. The customer visits the financial institution's secure website, and
enters the online banking facility using the customer number and credentials previously
set up.
Each financial institution can determine the types of financial transactions which a
customer may transact through online banking, but usually includes obtaining account
balances, a list of recent transactions, electronic bill payments, financing loans and funds
transfers between a customer's or another's accounts.

Most banks set limits on the amounts that may be transacted, and other restrictions. Most
banks also enable customers to download copies of bank statements, which can be printed
at the customer's premises (some banks charge a fee for mailing hard copies of bank
statements). Some banks also enable customers to download transactions directly into the
customer's accounting software. The facility may also enable the customer to order a
cheque book, statements, report loss of credit cards, stop payment on a cheque, advise
change of address and other routine actions.
Some financial institutions offer special internet banking services, for example, Personal
financial management support, such as importing data into personal accounting software.
Some online banking platforms support account aggregation to allow the customers to
monitor all of their accounts in one place whether they are with their main bank or with
other institutions.
Internet Banking means the service we offer by which you can access and transact on a
nominated account by using a personal computer and accessing via our website. This
includes transactions processed through the mobile banking facility as well as the
smartphone app facility.
Transferring Funds :- With internet banking, you can transfer money from one
account to another. You can initiate inter and intrabank fund transfers,
domestically and internationally. You can send funds to beneficiaries within an
hour using money transfer channels like NEFT, RTGS, and IMPS.

Paying Bills & Recharging:- You can pay utility bills like electricity, telephone,
gas, etc., from the comfort of your home and enable auto-debit options never to
miss a payment. You can also effortlessly recharge your mobile and DTH
connections through your internet banking account.
Tracking Account and Checking balances:- You can constantly track your
account and check account balances from anywhere, at any time, whether you are
in India or overseas. You can get mini statements or download account statements
from years ago under the „view account statement‟ section on the internet banking
platform.
Placing Orders For Bank Products:- Internet banking also allows you to place
orders for bank products like cheque Books and Bank Cards. You can order
primary and add-on debit cards and even apply for credit cards and priority passes
for international airport lounge access (if applicable).
Add-on Services:- You can enjoy a wide variety of add-on services, including
buying or selling mutual funds, buying insurance policies, and applying for
various types of loans. Your internet banking account also allows you to set auto-
payments for all recurring expenses.
No Cashless Deposit Option:- There is no provision for cash deposits. You must
visit your nearest bank branch or cash deposit machine to deposit money.
Internet Fraud:- You could become a victim of internet fraud if you do not
comply with the security measures prescribed by the bank, such as not setting
strong passwords, sharing passwords, or not logging out from your internet
banking account.

LITERATURE REVIEW

REVIEW LITERATURE
Arun (2019) in his research paper made an attempt to study the awareness level of
Internet Banking facilities among the college students between the age group of 18 to 25.
The results of the study revealed that the respondents are aware about the various e-
facilities provided by banks and are using ATM and net banking regularly.
Alam and Khan (2018) conducted a research to study customer's prospective about uses
of E-banking and analyze customers' awareness and difficulty of use about e-banking.
The study was conducted in Lucknow on 200 respondents. The findings of the study
revealed that the rate of usage of internet banking is increasing in educated users and is
more popular between age group of 25-35 years of upper class of society. Furthermore,
the lack of awareness level among the lower middle class indicates that inexperience and
complexity has an effect on customers who hesitate to use the e-services.
Gupta and Islamia (2008) examined the behaviour of consumers with respect to internet
banking along with the traditional banking. Relevant data was collected using
questionnaires filled up from 2000 consumers belonging to the major cities in India. The
conclusions so drawn revealed that the use of internet banking is restricted to few
consumer segments. Furthermore, the structure of internet banking should be updated to a
great extent in order to cater to the needs of the consumers and keep them satisfied.

CHAPTER 6
FINDINGS
FINDINGS
1. The majority of respondents express satisfaction with internet banking services.
While there are some who are very satisfied, a significant portion remains neutral,
suggesting there's room for improvement. Addressing concerns could further
enhance overall satisfaction levels.

prevalent issues faced by users. Addressing these issues promptly is crucial for
improving user experience, trust, and platform usage.
7. The majority of respondents value internet banking services, with only a small
percentage considering them unimportant. This underscores the significance of
these services for financial activities.
11. A majority of users are satisfied with the e-banking website, there are still some
who are dissatisfied or neutral, indicating areas for improvement to enhance user
experience and satisfaction levels.
CHAPTER 7
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSION
Based on the findings gathered from the respondents, it's evident that internet banking
services enjoy a substantial level of satisfaction among users. However, there are
notable areas for improvement to enhance overall user experience and address
lingering concerns. Issues such as slow website performance, transaction errors, and
login difficulties are prevalent and require prompt attention to bolster trust and usage
of the platform.
While there have been observed improvements by a majority of users, there remains a
significant portion who are uncertain or have not noticed any enhancements,
indicating the necessity for clearer communication and addressing concerns
comprehensively. Reliability concerns also loom large, with a sizable proportion of
users encountering issues frequently, suggesting a need for systemic improvements.
Overall, while there's a solid foundation of satisfaction and trust in internet banking
services, addressing the identified areas for improvement is crucial to ensure
continued user satisfaction and confidence in the platform.
CHAPTER 8
RECOMMENDATIONS AND
SUGGESTIONS
1. Prioritize resolving the most prevalent issues such as slow website performance,
transaction errors, and login difficulties to improve user experience and trust in the
platform.

particularly for those who rated it as fair. Enhancing customer support responsiveness
can further improve overall satisfaction levels.

and satisfaction levels. Address concerns from users who are dissatisfied or neutral to
ensure a seamless online banking experience for all users.
6. Pay attention to users who are neutral or leaning towards not recommending internet
banking services. Investigate the reasons behind their feedback to identify areas for
improvement or potential issues that need addressing.
