Executive summery
Private banking is a concept which is new and fast emerging in the world of banking
wherechanges have become a necessity in order for banks to survive in this compet
itiveenvironment vis--vis not only from the public and private sector banks but also
from the foreign banks. The objective of the research is to explore the various
products, which a private banker deals into and the systematic process involved to
match client requirements with the right kind of product
.
M ETHODOLOGY
The study was conducted by the means of personal interview with respondents and the
information given by they were directly recorded on questionnaire. For the purpose of analyzing
the data it is necessary to collect the vital information. There are two types of data, this are
Primary Data
Primary data is fresh data. This data is collected from books, internet and direct
questionnaire. The data is collected from questionnaire. The questionnaire is filled from
customer through direct interviewing them.
Secondary data
Secondary data is collected from magazines, newspaper, etc. eg. social networking sites, books,
newspaper, etc.
Introduction on Innovation
Satisfaction and Expectations move together. The level of expectations considerably influenced
by technological sophistication, corporatization, and flow of information, income and lifestyles
keep on moving upward which if not fulfilled properly opens doors of dissatisfaction. Today we
live in an age of technology. Frequent innovations in the development of sophisticated
technology pave ways for the emergence of an ultra modern lifestyle which brings an attitudinal
change in the customers and potential customers. The process of globalization gained momentum
during 1990s and with the beginning of 21st century; we find a significant increase in its flow.
The increasing heat of globalization has been successful in the development of corporate culture
and the credibility for the same goes to the techiculture which, of course, has revolutionized the
way of development vis a vis the behavioral patterns and cultural dimensions. It is against this
background that we find banks considerably influenced by techi culture not only in India but
around the globe. The new generation of private and foreign banks has activated the process of
technological sophisticated.
Globalization has brought structural changes in the world economy. This includes services,
particularly banking and financial services. Although service sector contributes significantly to
the national output, the impact of globalization on services is yet to capture the attention of
researchers.
Because businesses need to provide multiple avenues for accepting payments for products or
services, a stable, flexible and robust system is required to give the purchaser multiple ways to
pay. Innovation towards developing a better system should be developed to suite the customers
that delivers better services, a better way to accept those payments."
It is a well proven hypothesis that sustainable profit for the banks depends on Innovation.
Innovation depends on being able to bring together capabilities with a market opportunity. These
capabilities might be technology or expertise. The market opportunity is new customers, new
markets, or even with rival institutions. But, these things dont just happen by themselves.
Innovation requires the creation and management of an innovation infrastructure that will
encourage, reward new ideas and will manage and maintain a portfolio of innovation investments
and initiatives over time.
So, banks need to be able to make the investment and sustain the environment and the culture of
innovation. And they also need to be willing to fail, because not all innovations are going to
succeed. And so, banks need to consider that and plan on that happening. There are a few success
factors that we see all innovations in banking sharing, regardless of the type. They need to focus
on innovation that matches well-defined strategic priorities of the entire bank.
The second is that they need to have a vision for success and they need a couple of that bold
vision with smaller pilot projects so they can gain experience and build support for change across
the bank. Also, they need to measure and monitor results on a regular basis in order to ensure that
they maintain world class performance levels. Lastly it requires senior leadership, banks need to
be able to build and maintain support for development and implementation of innovation over a
sustained period.
Technology in Banking
Technology will bring fundamental shift in the functioning of banks. It would not only help them
bring improvements in their internal functioning but also enable them to provide better customer
service. Technology will break all boundaries and encourage cross border banking business.
Banks would have to undertake extensive Business Process Re-Engineering and tackle issues
like a) how best to deliver products and services to customers b) designing an appropriate
organizational model to fully capture the benefits of technology and business process changes
brought about. c) how to exploit technology for deriving economies of scale and how to create
cost efficiencies, and d) how to create a customer - centric operation model.
Entry of ATMs has changed the profile of front offices in bank branches. Customers no longer
need to visit branches for their day to day banking transactions like cash deposits, withdrawals,
cheque collection, balance enquiry etc. E-banking and Internet banking have opened new
avenues in convenience banking. Internet banking has also led to reduction in transaction costs
for banks to about a tenth of branch banking.
Technology solutions would make flow of information much faster, more accurate and enable
quicker analysis of data received. This would make the decision making process faster and more
efficient. For the Banks, this would also enable development of appraisal and monitoring tools
which would make credit management much more effective. The result would be a definite
reduction in transaction costs, the benefits of which would be shared between banks and
customers.
While application of technology would help banks reduce their operating costs in the long run,
the initial investments would be sizeable. IT spent by banking and financial services industry in
USA is approximately 7% of the revenue as against around 1% by Indian Banks. With greater
use of technology solutions, we expect IT spending of Indian banking system to go up
significantly.
One area where the banking system can reduce the investment costs in technology applications is
by sharing of facilities. We are already seeing banks coming together to share ATM Networks.
Similarly, in the coming years, we expect to see banks and FIs coming together to share facilities
in the area of payment and settlement, back office processing, data warehousing, etc. While
dealing with technology, banks will have to deal with attendant operational risks. This would be
a critical area the Bank management will have to deal with in future.
Payment and Settlement system is the backbone of any financial market place. The present
Payment and Settlement systems such as Structured Financial Messaging System (SFMS),
Centralised Funds Management System (CFMS), Centralised Funds Transfer System (CFTS)
and Real Time Gross Settlement System (RTGS) will undergo further fine-tuning to meet
international standards. Needless to add, necessary security checks and controls will have to be
in place. In this regard, Institutions such as IDRBT will have a greater role to play.
Innovation in Banking Services
Satisfied customers are the best guarantee for the stability and growth. Customers will be
satisfied only when the banks provide the customized and innovative products and services at
responsible cost. This article focuses on the kind of services provided by developed countries
and level of innovative services provided by Indian banks. Many innovative services are
currently available from Indian banks like E-Banking, ATMs, Anywhere Banking etc., but there
is a vast scope of improvement. Globalization, the buzzword, which engulfed all the nations of
the world since the beginning of the last decade of the past millennium, did not leave the banking
industry untouched. The opening of the world trade has brought out several changes in the global
banking map.
The continuing evolution of the banking and financial market has created opportunities both for
providers and for users of financial products and this evolution have proven beneficial to the
economy. However, innovations in financial products also have given rise to some new
challenges for market participants and their supervisors in the areas of corporate governance and
compliance. The changes that are taken place in the last decade demonstrate again the technical
weakness and weak corporate governance at a few firms can dramatically change the cost of
capital and impose additional regulatory burden on even well managed organizations.
A conventional bank may treat its customer as coldly as they cash they deposits or borrow. Many
banks have conveniently used control and security as reasons for their remarkable slow and
impersonal services. In recent, other service industries, like airlines have proven that customer
service can be a swift and enjoyable experience for both the clients and employees without
sacrificing control, costs, and profits. Some banks have finally adopted these new services
Paradigms, and are now branch marking with non-bank institution to learn about their best
practice. The growing concern about the improvement in service quality can be gauged by recent
news in the business standard dated June 1, 2008 where it was given that Banks are putting their
best face forward for improving service quality. While some like the Oriental Bank of
Commerce have prepared a detailed dress code of their employees, others have gone a step
forward and are recruiting people from the airline and hospitality industries to improve the
quality of front line sales staff.
The major brakes in the internal controls of big corporate and institutions such as share market in
the past few years. And the role of bankers has led bank regulators to change their view of
bankers relationships with their corporate clients. Technological innovation has helped in
overcoming any such problems. There was a time when we used to hear that duplicate share
certificates were flooding the market and large amount of money was being embezzled. Now
with demat accounts this risk is taken off. Lets see the currently booming plastic card market. In
India the growth is not that phenomenal but among the emerging economies, India is picking
well.
Technology is rapidly transforming the banking industry- and expanding its ability to reach the
unbanked. Employers in the developed countries are turning increasingly to electronic payroll
cards as a cost-effective way to reduce the burden of writing and processing checks. Consumers
are using their payroll cards and other versions of prepaid debit card- also known as stored value
cards- as a substitute for cash and checking accounts. Monitoring this trend, the American
Bankers Association reported last December that in 2009, for the first time, electronic payments
surpassed cash and chques as consumers preferred payment method for in store purchases- an
evolution of payment behavior, the ABA noted, driven by the increasing popularity of debit
cards. In a country like America, Debit cards accounted for nearly one-third (31%) of in-store
purchases in 2003, up from 21% only four years ago. Reliance on credit cards held steady during
that time, at about 21%. Cash and checks, which accounted for 57% of in-store purchases in
1999, dropped to about 47% last year. In India, if we see then, people still prefer to pay by cash.
The reason behind this mindset is safety for money. Still we are far behind in terms of Internet
security and E-money security.
Coming across through the performance of Banking Institutions of the west and seeing their
performance in the use of innovative methods to make themselves more customer-friendly we
would have no doubts about their strong banking mail-order company L.L. Bean, known for its
superb order-taking and service delivery systems, as its model for change. A major result of this
functional benchmarking was the establishment of a 24-hour customer service center that can not
only respond to queries and complaints but also promote and sell the banks products and
services. The center even allows customers to open a checking account anytime or negotiate an
overdraft at 2 am. The ATM was also reconfigured from mere cash dispenser to a versatile and
tireless account executive. The machine can even buy and sell mutual funds. Inspired by LL
Bean, Banks published a 50-page catalogue to help customers appreciate and select from its
more than 160 financial services.
Modern day banks have extended the concept of Mobile Banking. Some banks in the European
and American continents have launched floating branches on boats that provide full branch bank
services, to the convenience and delight of customers living in longhouses along the river banks.
To further enhance service, banks have also reconfigured their Automated Teller Machines to
dispense not only cash, but also commodity prices and information about its products and
services. The Korean Technology Banking Corporation (KTB) is setting up a Technology
Financing Information Center to serve the various needs of its clients, most of which are setting
up joint-venture overseas. The centers will contain a huge database of information analyzed from
various data from internal and external sources. By accessing this database, clients will get
information about specific technologies, local information, and other data relevant to the
ventures they are setting up. To facilitate processing, development financial institutions like the
Industrial Development Bank on India requires borrowers to submit loan application forms in
electronic floppy disks.
Some banks and financial institutions have done such a remarkable job in improving and
reinventing customer service that they themselves have become the benchmarks of other
companies outside the banking sector. For instance, American Express, the credit card company,
is the recognized benchmark to emulate when it comes to improving a companys billing
process. Amexs billing is reportedly the fastest and most accurate in the world in any industry.
Xerox, the benchmark for many quality practices, used the Amex model in enhancing its billing
system. In China, the benchmark for customer service and customer courtesy is surprisingly a
bank; The Industrial and Commercial Bank. Hundreds of retail shops and department stores,
many of which are known for rude service, visit the banks branches to learn a few lessons on
satisfying and delighting customers. Before sweeping changes were made, the Industrial and
Commercial Bank was also known for bad service and discourteous front line employees who
even swore at clients. One radical and highly effective policy it instituted was coming about with
a list of words and phrases their employees were forbidden to use when dealing with customers.
While other banks may refuse to change or accept soiled or old currency notes, the bank will
replace these without question.
Even clearinghouses have adopted the new service paradigms to support the banks initiatives.
For instance, the Singapore clearing House Association has cut the clearing of US $ checks
deposited in Singapore from two weeks to 3 days. The new system requires participating banks
to open US dollar accounts with Citibank to service their respective clients.
Innovation banking in customer service is indeed a welcome and long-awaited development.
Banks have to Focus on the kind of services provided by the banks in the developed countries
but this is not to deny the fact that the banking sector in India and other developing countries has
also started doing up well in terms of providing innovative and modern day banking facilities
along with good customer service. We hope that other left out banks and financial institutions
will follow suit soon. Satisfied customers are the best guarantee of stability and growth. As in
other service sectors, bank customers deserve the very best. In the past, banks have rarely treated
customers as people, preferring to treat them as account numbers, passbooks, and loan
applications. Customer service, in contrast to customer processing, is a concept whose time has
come for the banking industry worldwide.
Indian Banks Association (IBA) and ValueNotes jointly conducted a conference on Process
Innovation in Indian Banking Industry at Hotel Taj President, Mumbai on January 6th 2011 to
discuss various issues related to process outsourcing.
The researcher has observed the following major innovation in Indian banking Industry from
2004 -2011. The information is collected at the time of interview of branch managers and the
AGM interview conducted by the researcher in person.
1. Outsourcing: Technology is outsourced, ATMs are outsourced, soon even branch buildings
may be outsourced.
2. Knowledge Banking: Executives dont only peddle common banking solutions. They also act
as consultants delivering business solutions.
3. Microfinance Direct: Among the earliest to start offering micro-loans directly to poor
customers.
4. Futuristic Branch: A chip embedded in the debit cards of top customers alerts staff when one
walks in. An executive meets him and greets him by name. This technology is on trial in the
South Extension branch in Delhi.
5. Double Security: Besides their regular password, a second code is also generated just in time,
and delivered to the customers mobile.
6. Honey Farming: The bank has extended small loans of about Rs 25,000 each to over 2,000
bee farmers. The farmers provide their stocks of honey as collateral.
7. YESProfessional Entrepreneurship Programme (YPEP):The bank tapped the B-school
alumni network to hire top-notch graduates unhappy with the jobs they had chosen. Thats now
become a campus strategy. Currently, there are 270
8. Responsible Banking: A key differentiator for the bank, the programmes aim is to develop
innovative business solutions for social and environmental problems.
9. Money Monitor: Savings account customers get an online personal finance and wealth
management software.
ICICI Bank set up its international banking group in fiscal 2002 to cater to the cross border needs
of clients and leverage on its domestic banking strengths to offer products internationally. ICICI
Bank currently has subsidiaries in the United Kingdom and Canada, branches in Singapore and
Bahrain and representative offices in the United States, China, United Arab Emirates,
Bangladesh and South Africa.
ICICI Bank's equity shares are listed in India on the Stock Exchange, Mumbai and the National
Stock Exchange of India Limited and its American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) are listed on the
New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
As required by the stock exchanges, ICICI Bank has formulated a Code of Business Conduct and
Ethics for its directors and employees.
At April 4, 2005, ICICI Bank, with free float market capitalization of about Rs. 308.00 billion
(US$ 7.00 billion) ranked third amongst all the companies listed on the Indian stock exchanges.
ICICI Bank was originally promoted in 1994 by ICICI Limited, an Indian financial institution,
and was its wholly-owned subsidiary. ICICI's shareholding in ICICI Bank was reduced to 46%
through a public offering of shares in India in fiscal 1998, an equity offering in the form of ADRs
listed on the NYSE in fiscal 2000, ICICI Bank's acquisition of Bank of Madura Limited in an allstock amalgamation in fiscal 2001, and secondary market sales by ICICI to institutional investors
in fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2002. ICICI was formed in 1955 at the initiative of the World Bank, the
Government
of
India
and
representatives
of

industry.
The principal objective was to create a development financial institution for providing mediumterm and long-term project financing to Indian businesses. In the 1990s, ICICI transformed its
business from a development financial institution offering only project finance to a diversified
financial services group offering a wide variety of products and services, both directly and
through a number of subsidiaries and affiliates like ICICI Bank. In 1999, ICICI become the first
Indian company and the first bank or financial institution from non-Japan Asia to be listed on the
NYSE.
After consideration of various corporate structuring alternatives in the context of the emerging
competitive scenario in the Indian banking industry, and the move towards universal banking, the
managements of ICICI and ICICI Bank formed the view that the merger of ICICI with ICICI
Bank would be the optimal strategic alternative for both entities, and would create the optimal
The merger would enhance value for ICICI shareholders through the merged entity's access to
low-cost deposits, greater opportunities for earning fee-based income and the ability to
participate

system
and
provide

services.
The merger would enhance value for ICICI Bank shareholders through a large capital base and
scale of operations, seamless access to ICICI's strong corporate relationships built up over five
decades, entry into new business segments, higher market share in various business segments,
particularly fee-based services, and access to the vast talent pool of ICICI and its subsidiaries.
In October 2001, the Boards of Directors of ICICI and ICICI Bank approved the merger of ICICI
and two of its wholly-owned retail finance subsidiaries, ICICI Personal Financial Services
Limited
and
ICICI
Capital
Services
Limited,
with
ICICI
Bank.
The merger was approved by shareholders of ICICI and ICICI Bank in January 2002, by the
High Court of Gujarat at Ahmedabad in March 2002, and by the High Court of Judicature at
Mumbai and the Reserve Bank of India in April 2002. Consequent to the merger, the ICICI
group's financing and banking operations, both wholesale and retail, have been integrated in a
single entity.
History
ICICI Bank was established by the Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation of India
(ICICI) , an Indian financial institution, as a wholly owned subsidiary in 1994. The parent
company was formed in 1955 as a joint-venture of the World Bank, India's public-sector banks
and public-sector insurance companies to provide project financing to Indian industry. The bank
was founded as the Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation of India Bank, before it
changed its name to the abbreviated ICICI Bank. The parent company was later merged with the
bank.
ICICI Bank launched internet banking operations in 1998.ICICI's shareholding in ICICI Bank
was reduced to 46 percent, through a public offering of shares in India in 1998, followed by an
equity offering in the form of American Depositary Receipts on the NYSE in 2000.ICICI Bank
acquired the Bank of Madura Limited in an all-stock deal in 2001 and sold additional stakes to
institutional investors during 2001-02In the 1990s, ICICI transformed its business from a
development financial institution offering only project finance to a diversified financial services
group, offering a wide variety of products and services, both directly and through a number of
subsidiaries and affiliates like ICICI Bank. In 1999, ICICI become the first Indian company and
the first bank or financial institution from non-Japan Asia to be listed on the NYSE.]
In 2000, ICICI Bank became the first Indian bank to list on the New York Stock Exchange with
its five million American depository shares issue generating a demand book 13 times the offer
size
In October 2001, the Boards of Directors of ICICI and ICICI Bank approved the merger of ICICI
and two of its wholly owned retail finance subsidiaries, ICICI Personal Financial Services
Limited and ICICI Capital Services Limited, with ICICI Bank. The merger was approved by
shareholders of ICICI and ICICI Bank in January 2002, by the High Court of Gujarat at
Ahmedabad in March 2002 and by the High Court of Judicature at Mumbai and the Reserve
Bank of India in April 2002
In 2008, following the 2008 financial crisis, customers rushed to ICICI ATMs and branches in
some locations due to rumors of adverse financial position of ICICI Bank. The Reserve Bank of
India issued a clarification on the financial strength of ICICI Bank to dispel the rumors.
The features of ICICIThe important features of the functioning of the ICICI arc as given below:
The financial assistance as provided by the ICICI includes rupee loans,foreign currency
loans, guarantees, underwriting of shares and debentures,and direct subscription to shares
and debentures.
Originally, the ICICI was established to provide financial assistance toindustrial concerns
in the private sector. But, recently, its scope has beenwidened by including industrial
concerns in the public, joint and cooperativesectors.
ICICI has been providing special attention to financing riskier and non-traditional
industries, such as chemicals, petrochemicals, heavy engineeringand metal products.
These four categories of industries have accounted formore than half of the total
assistance.
Of late, the ICICI has also been providing assistance to the small scaleindustries and the
projects in backward areas.
Along with other financial institutions, the ICICI has actively participated inconducting
surveys to examine industrial potential in various states.
Located at New Delhi, the Smart Vault is equipped with multi-layered state-of-art security
systems including biometric authentication, debit card & PIN authentication, unique dimple keys
that are difficult to replicate, unbreakable lock system and the option of using additional personal
lock as well. To add to the security of the customers, there are several alert mechanisms, such as
a biometric alert facility, a direct call line to a central team available round-the-clock, automatic
alarms for sessions beyond a specified time, 24x7 armed guard, video patrolling by the Bank
post banking hours and SMS alerts to customers on usage of locker, thereby making the Smart
Vault safe and secure.
Inaugurating the Smart Vault, Ms. ChandaKochhar, MD & CEO, ICICI Bank said, ICICI
Bank has been a pioneer in leveraging innovations in technology to create products that suit
customers needs and provide increased convenience as well as enhanced security. We have
shaped the direction of technological progress in the Indian banking industry by taking the lead
in introducing path-breaking innovations including Internet, Mobile, Tab, Touch Banking
branches and banking on social media.
The launch of the Smart Vault marks a milestone in the Indian banking industry as it joins a
select group of overseas markets which has access to this unique vault with state-of-the art
robotic technology and high-end security. This innovation is an exemplary example of the
potential of Make in India as it has been both designed and manufactured by Indian partners.
We believe the Smart Vault will be yet another compelling addition to our array of technology
led propositions.
The Smart Vault facility comprises of a comfortable locker room for complete privacy. A
customer can gain access to this locker room by swiping her debit card and validating her
identity through biometric authentication. Once inside, the customer requires to swipe her debit
card again and enter her PIN on the interactive touch screen kiosk to select the locker she wants
to access. The robotic arm in the safe vault room then identifies, retrieves and presents the locker
to the customer at the lounge. The customer will now have to use her unique dimple keys to open
the locker and deposit or withdraw valuables from the locker. Once the transaction ends, the
robotic arm retracts the locker back to its secured location. The Smart Vault thus enables
customers to access their locker at a convenient height, eliminating the need to climb a ladder or
bend low as required in regular lockers.
With 80% of the components being Indian, the Smart Vault is an example of Indian innovation
and design capabilities. Made of MS Steel, each locker can bear load of 70 kg. In contrast,
lockers being offered by other banks globally are made of plastic and they can bear loads of only
25 kg. Lockers in the Smart Vault are available in four different sizes.
ICICI Bank has a widespread footprint of over three lakh traditional lockers across its branches.
The Bank also offers a free of charge, e-Locker, an online document storage facility on
its internet banking platform, wherein the customers can scan and store important documents like
PAN card, birth certificates among others.
This launch comes close on the heels of a slew of technology-led innovative services introduced
by the Bank. The list includes fully automated and round-the-clock 'Touch Banking' branches,
Tab Banking, banking on Facebook and Twitter, the country's first contactless debit and credit
cards, and Pockets, Indias first digital bank on mobile phone. The Bank has 4052 branches and
12811 ATMs (at June 30, 2015).
