non financial transaction from his/her net banking account. The user can transform funds from

convenience of a computer, laptop, tablet, mobile, or even Smartphone. They can also avoid
many of the costs of traditional banking (e.g. visiting the branch for every transaction) and pay
bills quickly without the expense and impracticality of outdated paper checks. Automated bill
payment simplifies management of finances and also eliminates unnecessary late fees. Again
money and time can be saved as most monthly bills and routine expense can be paid
electronically.

1.3 REVIEW OF LITERATURE
(Dr. S. Sangeetha, 2020) studies the customer’s satisfaction towards E-Banking Services
and its impacts on banks. Electronic Banking technology is useful to customers as well as banks
and other organizations. And there is no significant difference between personal factors like age,
profession, annual income and category of the bank chosen and the satisfaction level of the
customers. (Dr. Jagdeep Singh, 2018) investigates the effect of E-Banking on service quality
Likert scales with five points have been established. To accomplish this task, the Service quality
model was extended to 42 statements. A total of 42 statements were included. Respondents were
requested to score these products on a scale of 1 to 5 based on their interactions with E-Banking
services. The effect of E-banking on service quality was examined using nine factors:
connectivity, tangibility, understanding, credibility, stability, access, responsiveness,
competence, and reliability, all of which have a major impact on service quality. According to
the findings of 18 the study, there is a major difference between the various factors influencing
the use of E-Banking. These considerations should be addressed by E-Banking service providers
to offer high-quality banking services to their customers. (Rajput, 2015)explores customer
satisfaction of online banking systems and its consequences for banks. This paper aim is to
assess consumer perceptions towards E-Banking facilities. The data was collected via
questionnaire and descriptively evaluated using percentages and ANOVA. Customers were
discovered to be using E-Banking systems such as ATMs, home banking, including the use of
payment cards, it can be inferred that about 45 per cent of people have a favorable view of and
are satisfied with E-Banking. ATM withdrawals, bill payments, and bank statement retrieval are
all common E-Banking services. (Vikas Chauhan and Vipin Choudhary, 2015) discusses the
problems and opportunities associated with internet banking in the Indian competition, the
analysis concludes that the concept of online banking is increasingly gaining momentum.
Gaining recognition in the Indian context, and efforts are being made by government
departments to increase its popularity among customers. some of the challenges such as Security
risks, Privacy concerns, distrust, and a general lack of knowledge among consumers regarding E-
Banking is serving as a bridge in the adoption of E-Banking services. Considering the
difficulties, and the risks associated with E-Banking, the government of India, with different
government departments is working to make E-Banking even more secure, safe, and dependable.
Beginning with the fact that the way banks used to work has changed as a result of the
8
incorporation of the internet into financial institutions. The launch of the internet in Banks have
been modernised as a result of the banking organization. Implementation Online banking has
helped both banks and customers.
(D, A Study of Consumer Awareness towards e-Banking, 2016)The study deals with the
consumer's behavior toward the E-Banking system According to the findings of the survey,
consumers have a positive outlook. The biggest barrier to using the E-Banking facility is a lack
of information about banking operations. Respondents also agree that E-Banking systems are too
difficult to use, and a few respondents believe that E-Banking is dangerous. This study is based
on primary data for analysis. According to the findings of the study, the majority of bank
customers are aware of all banking facilities. Banks must also take the appropriate steps to
inform customers about emerging technologies and other services provided by the banks. 19
(Kavitha.S, 2016)According to the research, the banking sector is the dominant sector, which is
regarded as the gateway to savings for the general public and the government, which is a source
of GDP. The research is based on secondary data. The study's tools included trend and
compound Annual Growth Rate (AGR). According to the analysis, E-Banking is both a strength
and weakness and the banking sector will be able to solve all of the obstacles in the coming years.
(.p.v, 2016)the demonstrates that online banking allows for a greater understanding of customers' attitudes
toward technology. the research is primarily focused on primary data collected via the distribution of
questionnaires to 200 Coimbatore residents. the tools used are basic percentage analysis and chi-square
analysis. According to the study, banks adopt new technology to satisfy their customers and to improve
the way services are delivered to attract new customers. (raghavendra.b, 2016) the study focuses on
selected public sector banks and consumer opinion from a single region with a similar social
background resulting in prompt response, confidentiality, web design, and ease of use of factors
affecting customer satisfaction. customer satisfaction is influenced by the customer's gender, age,
education, and income level. the scope of the analysis is limited to investigating customer
satisfaction with internet banking services offered by banks and. furthermore, the study focuses
on mobile banking, bank support services, and private banks for exploration. Components that
core banking solutions allowed Indian banks to provide excellent customer service. Internet
developments are paving the way for more efficient and innovative banking. ATMS have been
widely adopted to avoid customer queues, to bank more easily, and to make use of information
authentication. Nowadays, public sector banks are well-equipped with tools and technology to
9
meet the needs of their customers. ANOVAs, coefficient, and variance are the methods used in
this analysis.
There is still some research gap in e- banking on customer satisfaction, particularly regarding
the following areas:
Trust and Security: E-banking requires customer to provide sensitive personal and financial
information online. Therefore, customers need to feel that their personal information is safe and
secure. Research could explore the extent to which trust and security impact customer
satisfaction with E-banking.
Customer Loyalty: E-banking has the potential to increase customer loyalty. research could
explore the extent to which e-banking affects customer loyalty.
Mobile E-Banking: With the increasing use of Smartphone and tablets, mobile e- banking is
becoming popular. Research could investigate how e-banking affects customer satisfaction.
User Interface Design: E- banking users interfaces can impact customer satisfaction
significantly. Research could explore how different user interface design affects customer
satisfaction.
So, more research is needed to understand the factors that contribute to customer satisfaction e-
banking and to ensure the adoption of e-banking services.
To study the relationship between security towards the satisfaction level of customers using e-
banking services.

1.6 SCOPE OF THE STUDY

of internet technologies, the entire banking system has changed in the current era. E-Banking has
given all customers the ability to operate across borders. E-Banking is an electronic payment
system that allows a bank or financial institution's customers to perform financial and non-
financial transactions over the internet. Customers can use this service to access almost every
banking service that was formerly only accessible at a local branch, such as fund transfers,
withdrawals, and online bill payments. It is a system designed for online banking that helps

5.2 MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY
Customer, as well as banks and other organizations benefit from electronic banking technologies.
Results of the study indicated that saving accounts users are more (93.6%) as compare to fixed
deposit or recurring deposit.
mobile banking services users (78.4%) is more popular as compare to internet banking users
(50.5%) which shows that internet banking is still not prevalent among the users of banking
services as ATM or mobile banking is popular?
the results indicated that the main reason behind the preference for e-banking services is that it
saves times (87.3%)and after that, it is easy to use (50.5% )followed by that the users can pay
their bills online (71.8%) and can view the transaction status(60.9%).
23
5.3 SUGGESTION
E-banking is not widely used in rural areas due to a lack of understanding banks should take the
requisites steps to educate their customer about the different available e-banking services, as well
as the benefit of using those service. Customer should be sent demonstration of e-banking to
encourage them to use it.
Banks should concentrate in cyber security problem including sensitive identities that are
susceptible to misuse in the cyber environment. The cost of accessing internet banking services
reduced to maximizes the no. of people who use the service. The E-banking infrastructure should
be improved to make online enquiry and payment even more convenient.
The rise of e-banking has significantly impacted the banking industry, particularly in terms of
customer satisfaction. E-banking has revolutionized the way customer interacts with banks and
has banking transactions more convenient and accessible. The results show that the higher level
of internet banking service quality significantly impact to e-customer satisfaction and
consequent. It leads to E-customer loyalty and lower intention to leave the relationship with
banks. The implications of the study emphasize. The significance influence of e-banking service
quality on customer satisfaction, and the important impact of E-banking service reliability on
service quality perception of banking clients. The policy implications of E-banking on customer
satisfaction are:-
● Customer service- banks need to enhance their customer service capabilities to provide
better support for e-banking customer. This includes 24/7 support, provides clear and
concise instructions on how to use e-banking platform, and resolving customers issues in
a timely and efficient manner.
● Accessibility- banks need to ensure that their E-banking platform are accessible to all
customer. This can be achieved by designing E-banking platform that are easy to use
providing alternatives format for information, and ensuring that customer service is
available to assist those who need it.
24
● Technology infrastructure- banks need to invest in technology infrastructure that supports
E-banking platforms. This includes reliable internet connectivity, secure server, and
robust cyber security measures. The technology infrastructure should be design to ensure
that e-banking transactions are safe and fast.
● Customer education- banks may need to develop and implement customer education
programmes that helps customers understands the benefits and risk of e-banking.
The sample size was small and cannot be applied to the entire population.
Data given by the primary data (questionnaire) may not be correct because it fills by friends,
family, and the data collected from the questionnaire may be miss leading to some reader.
5.6 CONCLUSION
Due to the IT sector, banks are being able to reach their customers anywhere at any time. For
example, many financial services have been already launched on face book (bill gates, 2008). It
is found from the study that many factors like education, knowledge in computer, willingness of
the people, people’s convenient & awareness etc. are responsible for the successful operation of
e-banking in any area. Again we find that a large no. of people (especially the old generation)
having no computer knowledge are till now prefer the traditional banking but along with some
moderate changes & quick delivery. A thorough study of the data shows that the young
generation is more familiar with computer & internet banking. So they are more interested in
using the e-banking system particularly in ATM & online transaction rather than old &
traditional banking. Again the falling costs of machines & connectivity is a key factor
25
contributing to the growth of ATM network. So, banks have also been cutting & gaining
synergies through ATM sharing agreements amongst themselves.
