lsquoEasy to Deal Withrsquo

Financial institutions are perceived to be opaque and inwardly focused And ING Vysya Banks worldwide market research suggested the same customers do not feel in control of their money when dealing with financial services companiesING Vysya Bank decided to launch the customer first initiative that would use technology and BPR creatively towards the objective of making the bank easy to deal with for customersUsing pre-generated kits for accessing telephone banking and ATM including instantaneous replacement of lost cards was the first step Stocking pre-generated inventory of accounts and access devices like PINs and ATM cards at all customer touch-points took the bank closer to its aimThe bank focus was on pre-processing all operations and technology elements associated with these processes so that the only task would be to activate the account and channels as soon as the customers request is received

However there were some roadblocks in the implementation From a technology perspective all customers facing core banking processes relevant for account opening and account maintenance had to be re-engineered for the project This was very challenging users were comfortable with the existing processes and didnt want to change the way they work Initially there was a significant disconnect between the people who designed the new processes and people involved in user acceptance testing To tackle that additional training on the current and modified business processes with inputs on the benefits of the re-engineered process was provided to the users

Conclusion

Although all banks recognize the need for CRM not every bank is implementing the complete CRM concept The way CRM has been implemented thus far seems to depend heavily on the current balance between the discretionary and advisory services that the bank providesCustomer Relationship Management is beneficial for all stakeholders customers employees and investors It is being used large or small banks in India as well as abroad Due to privatization deregulation and globalization competition has increased This has led in the intensive use of CRM

ING Vysya Bank has implemented CRM to some extent but still is on the initial stage It has invested a lot of money in implemented various IT based solution to make its banking operations more easy convenience for its customers but in terms of its customer dealing it needs to more to make its customers satisfied Its employees are coming out to be its strength where majority of respondents have responded excellent behaviour of the employees that is an edge over Bank of Baroda Moreover 44 respondents do strongly agree with the statement that implies that they are satisfied with the resolution provided to them But 16 of respondents also disagree and 8 of respondents even strongly disagree that they were given proper resolution to their problems Thus ING Vysya Bank should focus on effective complaints handling by soft spoken experienced and helpful employees

Bank of Baroda is more customer centric than ING Vysya Bank BOB has got more positive and favourable response from the respondents and specially in case of recommendation by customers to hisher family members where it has higher positive response Therefore the company should focus on improving the behavior its employees to convert these 12 and 4 respondents into satisfied customers that will not only give their future business to the bank but also do positive word of mouth that is the best communication tool used by any company None of the respondents use platinum card scheme Thus BOB should come up with many such loyalty schemes that help in identifying and retaining most valuable customers of the bank

Recommendation to both banks to improve CRM

Both the banks need to understand the needs and demands of their target customers and then formulate their strategies and practices to serve them efficiently and effectivelyTechnological solutions are also compulsory but they must be user friendly To make CRM a successful story banks have to take some critical steps

ING Vysya Bank

1048698 Banks should recognize the diversity of experience and needs of different customers1048698 Banks need to develop the propositions both relevant and practical but not too complex1048698 Banks should get support from local media newspapers and magazines to build commitment and trust in the community and to reflect values and aspiration of local community in services and products1048698 Banks should sponsor different social and cultural activities of their stakeholders to build the mutual confidence and relationship1048698 Customer education programmes should be launched to improve understanding of bankrsquos procedures and decision making and increase comfort levels

Bank of Baroda

1048698 Banks should hire professional people from the local community they are trying to serve to improve understanding and performance also increased comfort levels and trust for customers Attractive salaries and befits can motivate employees to perform their duties well1048698 Bank should focus on measuring current business volumes in branchgeographic penetration to help predict future valuegrowth patterns in branch marketing research to ensure understanding of customersrsquo satisfaction levels service expectations customer loyalty etc and tracking the success of advertising and PR and transfer learning into future campaigns1048698 Measurement is a key to the understanding learning and improvement customer experience Banking sector management needs actively to articulate the need for an improved and consistent customer experience and branch mangers should localize this approach and coach their staff to deliver it1048698 Banks should use customer friendly technology ndash which their customer can use and brings value in their life

lsquoEasy to Deal Withrsquo

Financial institutions are perceived to be opaque and inwardly focused And ING Vysya Banks worldwide market research suggested the same customers do not feel in control of their money when dealing with financial services companiesING Vysya Bank decided to launch the customer first initiative that would use technology and BPR creatively towards the objective of making the bank easy to deal with for customersUsing pre-generated kits for accessing telephone banking and ATM including instantaneous replacement of lost cards was the first step Stocking pre-generated inventory of accounts and access devices like PINs and ATM cards at all customer touch-points took the bank closer to its aimThe bank focus was on pre-processing all operations and technology elements associated with these processes so that the only task would be to activate the account and channels as soon as the customers request is received

However there were some roadblocks in the implementation From a technology perspective all customers facing core banking processes relevant for account opening and account maintenance had to be re-engineered for the project This was very challenging users were comfortable with the existing processes and didnt want to change the way they work Initially there was a significant disconnect between the people who designed the new processes and people involved in user acceptance testing To tackle that additional training on the current and modified business processes with inputs on the benefits of the re-engineered process was provided to the users

Conclusion

Although all banks recognize the need for CRM not every bank is implementing the complete CRM concept The way CRM has been implemented thus far seems to depend heavily on the current balance between the discretionary and advisory services that the bank providesCustomer Relationship Management is beneficial for all stakeholders customers employees and investors It is being used large or small banks in India as well as abroad Due to privatization deregulation and globalization competition has increased This has led in the intensive use of CRM

ING Vysya Bank has implemented CRM to some extent but still is on the initial stage It has invested a lot of money in implemented various IT based solution to make its banking operations more easy convenience for its customers but in terms of its customer dealing it needs to more to make its customers satisfied Its employees are coming out to be its strength where majority of respondents have responded excellent behaviour of the employees that is an edge over Bank of Baroda Moreover 44 respondents do strongly agree with the statement that implies that they are satisfied with the resolution provided to them But 16 of respondents also disagree and 8 of respondents even strongly disagree that they were given proper resolution to their problems Thus ING Vysya Bank should focus on effective complaints handling by soft spoken experienced and helpful employees

Bank of Baroda is more customer centric than ING Vysya Bank BOB has got more positive and favourable response from the respondents and specially in case of recommendation by customers to hisher family members where it has higher positive response Therefore the company should focus on improving the behavior its employees to convert these 12 and 4 respondents into satisfied customers that will not only give their future business to the bank but also do positive word of mouth that is the best communication tool used by any company None of the respondents use platinum card scheme Thus BOB should come up with many such loyalty schemes that help in identifying and retaining most valuable customers of the bank

Conclusion

Although all banks recognize the need for CRM not every bank is implementing the complete CRM concept The way CRM has been implemented thus far seems to depend heavily on the current balance between the discretionary and advisory services that the bank providesCustomer Relationship Management is beneficial for all stakeholders customers employees and investors It is being used large or small banks in India as well as abroad Due to privatization deregulation and globalization competition has increased This has led in the intensive use of CRM

ING Vysya Bank has implemented CRM to some extent but still is on the initial stage It has invested a lot of money in implemented various IT based solution to make its banking operations more easy convenience for its customers but in terms of its customer dealing it needs to more to make its customers satisfied Its employees are coming out to be its strength where majority of respondents have responded excellent behaviour of the employees that is an edge over Bank of Baroda Moreover 44 respondents do strongly agree with the statement that implies that they are satisfied with the resolution provided to them But 16 of respondents also disagree and 8 of respondents even strongly disagree that they were given proper resolution to their problems Thus ING Vysya Bank should focus on effective complaints handling by soft spoken experienced and helpful employees

Bank of Baroda is more customer centric than ING Vysya Bank BOB has got more positive and favourable response from the respondents and specially in case of recommendation by customers to hisher family members where it has higher positive response Therefore the company should focus on improving the behavior its employees to convert these 12 and 4 respondents into satisfied customers that will not only give their future business to the bank but also do positive word of mouth that is the best communication tool used by any company None of the respondents use platinum card scheme Thus BOB should come up with many such loyalty schemes that help in identifying and retaining most valuable customers of the bank

Recommendation to both banks to improve CRM

Both the banks need to understand the needs and demands of their target customers and then formulate their strategies and practices to serve them efficiently and effectivelyTechnological solutions are also compulsory but they must be user friendly To make CRM a successful story banks have to take some critical steps

ING Vysya Bank

1048698 Banks should recognize the diversity of experience and needs of different customers1048698 Banks need to develop the propositions both relevant and practical but not too complex1048698 Banks should get support from local media newspapers and magazines to build commitment and trust in the community and to reflect values and aspiration of local community in services and products1048698 Banks should sponsor different social and cultural activities of their stakeholders to build the mutual confidence and relationship1048698 Customer education programmes should be launched to improve understanding of bankrsquos procedures and decision making and increase comfort levels

Bank of Baroda

1048698 Banks should hire professional people from the local community they are trying to serve to improve understanding and performance also increased comfort levels and trust for customers Attractive salaries and befits can motivate employees to perform their duties well1048698 Bank should focus on measuring current business volumes in branchgeographic penetration to help predict future valuegrowth patterns in branch marketing research to ensure understanding of customersrsquo satisfaction levels service expectations customer loyalty etc and tracking the success of advertising and PR and transfer learning into future campaigns1048698 Measurement is a key to the understanding learning and improvement customer experience Banking sector management needs actively to articulate the need for an improved and consistent customer experience and branch mangers should localize this approach and coach their staff to deliver it1048698 Banks should use customer friendly technology ndash which their customer can use and brings value in their life

Bank of Baroda is more customer centric than ING Vysya Bank BOB has got more positive and favourable response from the respondents and specially in case of recommendation by customers to hisher family members where it has higher positive response Therefore the company should focus on improving the behavior its employees to convert these 12 and 4 respondents into satisfied customers that will not only give their future business to the bank but also do positive word of mouth that is the best communication tool used by any company None of the respondents use platinum card scheme Thus BOB should come up with many such loyalty schemes that help in identifying and retaining most valuable customers of the bank

lsquoEasy to Deal Withrsquo

Financial institutions are perceived to be opaque and inwardly focused And ING Vysya Banks worldwide market research suggested the same customers do not feel in control of their money when dealing with financial services companiesING Vysya Bank decided to launch the customer first initiative that would use technology and BPR creatively towards the objective of making the bank easy to deal with for customersUsing pre-generated kits for accessing telephone banking and ATM including instantaneous replacement of lost cards was the first step Stocking pre-generated inventory of accounts and access devices like PINs and ATM cards at all customer touch-points took the bank closer to its aimThe bank focus was on pre-processing all operations and technology elements associated with these processes so that the only task would be to activate the account and channels as soon as the customers request is received

However there were some roadblocks in the implementation From a technology perspective all customers facing core banking processes relevant for account opening and account maintenance had to be re-engineered for the project This was very challenging users were comfortable with the existing processes and didnt want to change the way they work Initially there was a significant disconnect between the people who designed the new processes and people involved in user acceptance testing To tackle that additional training on the current and modified business processes with inputs on the benefits of the re-engineered process was provided to the users

lsquoEasy to Deal Withrsquo

Financial institutions are perceived to be opaque and inwardly focused And ING Vysya Banks worldwide market research suggested the same customers do not feel in control of their money when dealing with financial services companiesING Vysya Bank decided to launch the customer first initiative that would use technology and BPR creatively towards the objective of making the bank easy to deal with for customersUsing pre-generated kits for accessing telephone banking and ATM including instantaneous replacement of lost cards was the first step Stocking pre-generated inventory of accounts and access devices like PINs and ATM cards at all customer touch-points took the bank closer to its aimThe bank focus was on pre-processing all operations and technology elements associated with these processes so that the only task would be to activate the account and channels as soon as the customers request is received

However there were some roadblocks in the implementation From a technology perspective all customers facing core banking processes relevant for account opening and account maintenance had to be re-engineered for the project This was very challenging users were comfortable with the existing processes and didnt want to change the way they work Initially there was a significant disconnect between the people who designed the new processes and people involved in user acceptance testing To tackle that additional training on the current and modified business processes with inputs on the benefits of the re-engineered process was provided to the users

Bank of Baroda is more customer centric than ING Vysya Bank BOB has got more positive and favourable response from the respondents and specially in case of recommendation by customers to hisher family members where it has higher positive response Therefore the company should focus on improving the behavior its employees to convert these 12 and 4 respondents into satisfied customers that will not only give their future business to the bank but also do positive word of mouth that is the best communication tool used by any company None of the respondents use platinum card scheme Thus BOB should come up with many such loyalty schemes that help in identifying and retaining most valuable customers of the bank
